As if it wasn’t clear enough, general manager John Schneider and former Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll have different ideas on how to develop this squad.
after Carroll had personnel control, he was ultimately accountable for the team’s lackluster performance after the end of the 2015 season, which marked their final realistic opportunity to qualify for the NFC Championship game.
Apparently, a major topic of contention was how to use free agent former strong safety Jamal Adams.
According to Brock Huard, Schneider and the front office intended to play Adams as a linebacker close to the line of scrimmage in order to capitalize on his skills. But even with his problems with coverage, Pete managed to keep him safe.
