Poor.
In retrospect he should've done something maybe more radical with the QB situation rather then wait and see if Hasselbeck was going to bounce back after two poor seasons. Instead, he stood pat, and put faith that Hasslebeck wasn't past it. He was wrong, Hasslebeck was worse then expected without excuses to hide behind last year.
Injuries didn't help on the O-line..but not having a team leader at QB hurt this team before, and since, the Superbowl, and becoming painfully clear that its still missing, and now cost a decent coach and nice guy, his job as a result.
I don't like this because they are putting the blame of last year soley on him, when he was just more or less assuming the duties, and the team, from Holmgren.
Plus, SEA still don't have a GM in place. Makes no sense to pick a new coach before that.
Management obviously doesn't want to get left behind with teams like BUF interviewing coaches (MIN's defensive co-ordinator, SEA's asked permission to talk to) and IMO made this snap decision because they have their eye on a guy.
The GM, especially with two top 15 draft picks upcoming should be the priority hiring, not the coach.
