Scot McCloughan hired by the Seahawks

PrintMike Sando of ESPN is reporting that the Seahawks have hired Scot McCloughan as a senior personnel guy. According to him the exact title is as yet unknown, but the Seahawks will be having a press conference later on this week.
"It's huge for us because Scot is one of the most respected personnel people in the league," Seahawks general manager John Schneider said Monday. "He played a critical role in helping the Seahawks become a Super Bowl team [in 2005] and did a great job in rebuilding the 49ers over the last few years."
The critical role that Schneider refers to is as director of college scouting, the position he held in 2005 when the 49ers hired him. The Seahawks have also hired Jeff Ulbrich as an assistant. Of course we hired Seahawks line coach Mike Solari away from them, so there's a long tradition of stealing each other's coaches.
According to Sando both Schneider and McCloughan worked for Ron Wolf in Green Bay in early 1990s and again in Seattle in the early 2000s, so it's a natural fit for them, although there was some speculation that he would go to Green Bay.
I think that there's got to be at least a little bit of revenge factor here, even though both he and the Niners are firm that he wasn't fired, but that it was a personal decision, it still has to sting a bit that he left the organization right before the draft.

That one is lame.
It’s supposed to say “I’ve invented a device that forces you to read this sentence in my voice!” or something along those lines. Works with a lot of things, too.
Top Tip for England's next game: If you're watching on Sky+ press pause and wait a second before pressing play. Being a second or two behind the live play will give you that authentic Emile Heskey viewpoint.

What exactly is Scot McCloughan doing in that picture?
It looks like he’s shooting himself in the mouth with a finger gun. Maybe that was what he was thinking once he realized he had to work with Pete Carroll.
Don't trust this guy. He lies.
i don't know
but it’s a horrible picture. if he posed for that both he and the camera man should be shot

So have we figured out whose wife he was sleeping with or whatever office tabboo he committed to get run out of here?
At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.

Very true
It very likely would be allowed on TV in prime-time. I don’t see a problem here. You can extrapolate it to whatever you want.

I think Pete Carroll is bringing USC culture with him...
Win by any mean possible. I’m sure Scot McCloughan will sing like Canary there.

But a bag of footballs and some nice sockeye salmon might not be a bad deal either.

We have no secrets.
McCloughan can’t tell the Seahawks anything they don’t already know. What’s he going to tell them, bits about ongoing contract extensions from when he was there? How their draft board looked from when he was hear? He knows nothing sensitive about this season, his connection with the GM is legitimate and solid—the fact he was with us is simply incentive, but it’s incentive that we get them nowhere.
What can he tell them? Nothing. Bring it, Seahawks.

will have deeper info on player tendencies and habits that can be fitted into a gameplan. Not a difference-maker but every little bit counts.
Kind of.
Not really, player tendencies like what? Off the field? Inconsequential. On the field? They can just watch game tape from last season. He has nothing on the new offensive line because we have a new line coach, nothing on the rookies, nothing on the free agents. There’s literally nothing he can tell them right now from an on-the-field standpoint, only a front office standpoint. He can give them offensive calls I suppose but how deep of knowledge do you think he has on that? Not much I’d wager. Jeff Ulbrich likely brought them a lot more than McCloughan will.

Peter King raves about the Micro Breweries in Seattle every Monday morning. McCloughan loves to drink. Coincidence? I think not.

Craft breweries my friend
Seattle brews fantastic beer to juxtapose alongside their $#*!!Y football. Give that beer the respect it deserves.

It only matters...
if he runs the drafts and not Pete or his lackeys. Cause then, Seattle may turn into San Francisco North……but I doubt it. Oh well…
"Lord, beer me strength."
good,
the only good picks he made were obvious ones. we rarely had a good late round pick. baalke already proved to do exactly wut sing wants and do it well…
It fits that McArnold goes to Seattle
mostly because Carroll recognizes that the best/toughest team to beat in the division is our niners so getting him and Ulbrich is simply him trying to get any edge he can, plus ex-McGM probably is a little bitter too and needs a job.
With luck they will listen to Scotty closely when selecting offensive lineman. That way they will end up with big, slow-footed, un-athletic ham sandwiches. When Seattle is at 3rd and an inch I’ll laugh as they fail to get even half an inch in ground. Scotty knows how to pick certain defensive positions but is clueless about O-line.
I’m liking Trent Baalke even more, and if Iupati and Davis turn out to be monsters than even better!
Im so curious as to what got him fired or whatever the hell happened...
Rajai Davis is quicker than a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.
good luck with that Seattle

No one but big, slow SEC players for the Seahawks from now on!
Can’t say I’m worried about that.

Uh HELLO! First, both starting QBs of each team are named Matt. Speaking of Matts, BOTH of Matt Cassell and Pete Carroll patrolled the sidelines at USC. That means KC and SEA are basically IDENTICAL TWINS. Need more proof? The KC Arrowhead logo and the Beak of the Seahawk head logo BOTH POINT IN THE SAME DIRECTION- THE RIGHT. ‘Right’ rhymes with ‘Flight,’ and what do arrowheads and seahawks do? THEY FLY. The parallels are uncanny.

Hired to do some sort of scouting or player personnel.
And he has a fetish for big SEC players. Smaller, more agile players from lesser conferences be damned!

Alex Smith is garbage...
Agreed
Between Pete and Taylor….and now this whole Scot thing…..Seattle-San Francisco could blossom into quite the nice rivalry.
"Lord, beer me strength."
Yup,
And then that particular team gets cocky and when they meet again later in the season and the favor is returned. At least that’s been the story the last couple of years.

Seahawks news! And before it’s too late,
There’s our old friend Frog, from Washington State!
He always pops by, a few times each summer.
And is given a kicking by someone like Drummer.
And now once again the weather is hot,
And the Hawks go and hire a bozo like Scott!
Even Fearless must realise the Niners are best,
And that we will dominate the NFC West.
Please don’t think I’m looking for a battle.
I’m just welcoming back our old friend from Seattle.
