battle2heaven Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Sean Desai is going to the Seahawks essentially in a similar role to what they had Donatell for. Seems like Vikings made the choice; I wish they were able to bring Asai over in some capacity, ugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 I didn't realize Townsend was coaching until very recently. I can't believe he's 46 either. Perhaps he has a future as a Defensive Coordinator someday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it is not a similar role, he is the associate head coach on defense. “No. 1, the autonomy in which the game plans and the overall coaching structure would work,” Heaps said. “… Sean Desai wanted to not just be a member of the staff but to have a say and to have a clear working relationship in terms of putting together game plans, how all that’s going to come together. He got the assurances he needed on that end. Very big.” “If you’re not going to be the defensive coordinator, if you’re not going to be the one that’s getting the credit for calling the plays on gameday, then there’s got to be a title and money involved and Pete Carroll came through on that final part with the associate head coaching title and obviously, what comes with that is very fair compensation,” Heaps said. https://sports.mynorthwest.com/1574452/heaps-sean-desai-assurances-to-join-seahawks/ To me Desai's role in Seattle is better than just a typical DC role, not to mention he also is probably the head coach in waiting if they like him which they obviously do.

SemperFeist Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 (edited) The plot thickens. I wonder if there’s a way they can get Aubrey Pleasant without it being a lateral move? Edited February 13, 2022 by SemperFeist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SemperFeist Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 It’ll be curious to see what Pettine’s title will be. His only position coaching experience is as an outside linebackers coach back with the Ravens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we will need one of those now. i wouldn’t be shocked if it’s just a senior advisor role that seems to be so popular these days either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably right. Although it’s interesting that, on the surface, it seems as though Pettine and Donatell come from two different schools of the 3-4 defense. I like the experience that they are putting on the defensive side of the ball. Edited February 13, 2022 by SemperFeist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 seems like.... put the young guys in control of decision making and planning, and have the older veterans in the background as advisors. not a bad schematic, really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a blueprint that’s worked plenty of times before it. McVay did it when he took over the Rams. LaFluer has done it with Green Bay. Even Mike Zimmer’s best years were when he had significantly experienced coaches running the offense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
