Seahawks' coaching carousel updated

Jeff Jagodzinski is off the chart. He's someone the Seahawks likely would be interested in as an assistant, but if he doesn't get the Jets job, he would almost certainly look for work as an offensive coordinator, a position now filled in Seattle.

It appears that Gil Haskell is on his way out, and I know there is a report that he is expected to retire. I've heard that indirectly from others who say that's what they expect, but phone messages have gone unreturned by Haskell this week, and in lieu of any word from Haskell or announcement by the team, I'm going to hold off on declaring the end of his tenure though it is clear if he did come back, it would be in a different capacity.

What is the thinking of Knapp over Jagodzinski? Were they afraid they would lose them both? Knapp gives me flash backs of ground chuck! Oh no! Posted on January 8, 2009 at 11:23 AM by bhamhusky. Jump to comment
