Scott I believe seahawks did promote 2 to asst GMs a couple years ago(maybe 2017?). It may have been label only and such, but Im about 98% sure they did have 2 asst. I can not spell the the others name, f_______ . Pete did/still has all the powers, that part is right. Im sure its on goggle about when the promotion took place, and I believe they did 2 at the same time.......

The Saints are the team that has two assistant GMs...or did with Jeff Ireland and Terry Fontenot. Now that Fontenot has gone to the Falcons, I don't know if they're going to keep that arrangement.

Fitterer used to be a co-director of player personnel along with former Panthers scout Trent Kirchner, but neither was ever named Assistant GM.

Getting loads of 

Quote

operated as a co-assistant GM under John Schneider.

I thought I read that he and the other guy were given the label, GM John would say theres no school or book for how to be a GM. Its seems the word for word did not pop up, but operated would not hold up in courts..

If you want to give him credit for the Seahawks drafts (which it totally wasn’t him) then give him Sherman, Chancellor, Thomas, Wagner, and Russ (several of which were mid to late round picks).

This was his bio from the 2020 Seahawks Media Guide.

Scott Fitterer begins his sixth season as co-director of player personnel.

Originally joining the Seahawks’ staff on June 25, 2001, as an area scout, he recently served 2011-14 as the club’s director of college scouting. In his current role, Fitterer works collaboratively with Trent Kirchner in directing both the college scouting and pro personnel departments to manage and strengthen all aspects of the Seahawks roster.

As the director of college scouting he coordinated the Seahawks’ entire scouting operation and compiled all of the college scouting information required to set the draft board. He is responsible for the evaluation of all draft eligible players nationally, oversight of the Seahawks college scouting staff and works closely with GM John Schneider and the Seahawks coaching staff regarding the NFL Draft and college free agency.

Before joining Seattle, spent three seasons with the New York Giants, 1998-00, as a part-time scout before being assigned to the West Coast region for the 2000 season. Was a 1995 draft pick of the Toronto Blue Jays and spent three years in the Blue Jays system (1995-97) before his career ended due to three shoulder surgeries. Was a two-sport athlete in college, playing quarterback in football and pitcher in baseball at UCLA (1992-94) and LSU (1994-95).

In 1998, Fitterer returned to UCLA to earn his undergraduate degree in history. Born in Seattle, he is a graduate of Kennedy High School in Seattle. Scott, his wife Cherish, daughter Ella, and son Cole live in Sammamish, Wash.

Before he left, hey gave him a new title (VP of Football Operations) but neither he nor Kirchner were ever named Assistant GM.
