That's what I thought. no doubt he would have crushed the Texans interview, also. just like the 49ers interview. They couldn't let him go on that interview in Houston. My experience (and I've had experience interviewing top execs) has been that good interviewing skills don't necessarily translate into good job skills. Unfortunately, the ability to sell oneself and the ability to build an organization are two different sets of skills, with little overlap. I'm not saying BG won't prove to be a good hire. I'm just saying I would be more comfortable with someone who had a successful track record with another organization. Had they acted a little sooner, Dorsey would have been a much safer pick.

Rodjahs12 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I'd like to see Schneider rebuild his now very depleted defense with Kam and Avril's careers being over, Sherman likely being gone and Earl Thomas being a possibility as well. Seattle has ALOT more work to do than some here seem to realize and I'm not entirely convinced John is going to put it back together after that 3 year slam dunk period he had.

Schneider has hardware on his finger from something he had a huge hand in building. Hopefully Gute will lead the Pack to one in the near future. Then he will be elevated from home run to Grand slam.

Mr. Fussnputz Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 1 hour ago, cannondale said: Of course they knew what they had. As anyone who knows anything should know, you interview to find out if someone absolutely blows you away. How many times have we heard that ? We reached out to guys familiar with Green Bay and guys who we thought would be a good fit. It didn't happen. Who cares ? The result would have likely been the same if the sources are correct Mike Sherman blew Wolf away in his interview for Packer HC. Just sayin'.

Mazrimiv Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I actually think Sherman was fine in his role as HC. It was Sherman the GM that brought him down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodjahs12 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Lets look at Seattle's needs going into this offseason a RB two receivers if Richardson leaves, one otherwise a TE as Graham is on his way out 3/5 line positions, possibly 4 Two new edge rushers with Avril and Bennett out 2 corners unless Sherman comes back and isn't a shell of his pre injury self, 1 if you believe he'll be fine or are a Shaq Griffin believer At least one safety, two if Thomas leaves This team is closer to being in rebuild mode than Schneider loyalists want to believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a neck injury and can't fault the GM there unless it was TT's fault for Collins. 1 minute ago, Rodjahs12 said: At least one safety, two if Thomas leaves Thomas is under contract. Chancellor same deal as Avril, neck injury, career over. 2 minutes ago, Rodjahs12 said: a RB I don't think they need to invest much at RB. Carson was looking good, and the problem is on the OL, not the RB position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s true. Interviewing skills don’t provide a full picture of a candidates worth. However, I feel there is a great importance to it as it pertains to selling a vision or concept. He sold himself and a vision that Murphy apparently bought. The key will be watching to see if he can implement that vision and that’s where I think most tend to fail.

Sasquatch Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 There are quite a few unknowns with Gute, considering we don’t have much tape to go on with him. I support the move, mostly because it represents a “possibility” of moving in a different direction with respect to talent acquisition, and there appears to be support from MM and AR. This is a good place to start, and only time will tell if Gute has what it takes to be a competent GM. Remaining hopeful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
