This is the first I have heard of this, anyone else heard any resemblance of this rumor???

Dated Jan. 1st, 10:22AM ESPN Insider

Among the buzz in Seattle during another woeful season is centered around the questions of who will be at the helm in 2010. But that goes deeper than just one spot. The team needs a new general manager, and that GM could prefer to let Jim Mora go and hire his own guy. And that new head coach could prefer to start over at quarterback as soon as possible, which would also spell the end for Matt Hasselbeck in Seattle.

While it's not common for a coach to get just one year, the Hawks have nine wins in two years after winning nine or more for four straight seasons, and if they had a chance to to grab Bill Cowher or John Gruden out of the broadcast booth this offseason, passing just to be "fair" to Mora would seem foolish.

But what about the QB position? The Seahawks have two first-round picks in April, giving them ample chances to draft the heir apparent and giving Hasselbeck another year isn't out of the question by any means. The free agent route isn't likely unless Hasselbeck is released or traded, but there's also the idea that Hasselbeck, in the final year of his contract next year, could restructure that final year's salary to help the team's cap situation and give him some more guaranteed money and an extra year while the young QB comes in and learns the system.

can't see it myself, but you never know. Matt has taken the blame for a beat up and inconsistent O-line. I personally think he's still a great qb and would like to have him back for one or two more years. I, like many many other hawk fans would love to see Mora gone instead.

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      There are several posters that only post negative at all times.   8 wins is a big jump from 5 and we still have 2 games.  Jaguars have a much more talented roster than us and have underachieved for years.

      Todd Bowles is losing his locker room… Canales meanwhile

      By amcoolio · Posted

      All of this noise is just setting us up to lose Week 18 and proclaim life's not fair. If there's one thing I know in my 30+ years of watching the Hornets and Panthers, is that the bad guy always wins in the end. A team can be falling apart internally but we will still lose to them. A team's fanbase can be extra shitty and cocky and they will just win anyway. It always happens

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Well even if we took diverging paths getting there...our overall assessment of Shough is the same (bolded) lol so I guess that's what matters.  What you call "playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter" is the same thing I'm referencing when I talk about his poise.  Although I still wonder how truly "bad" of a team the Saints are.  Their defense is middle-of-the-road, and their offense does have some good pieces (Olave, Juwan Johnson) outside of running back which is the position most everyone agrees is relatively plug-and-play.  I'm not going to pretend to know anything about the majority of NFL team's o-lines lol but I'm assuming Saints are not great there, although Shough's pressure % seems to have been quite low (and steadily improving) over the last four weeks (20 -> 16.7 -> 15.0 -> 13.0) so maybe they've been playing better as of late, or perhaps Shough himself deserves credit for that.   Some of the language I'm hearing about Shough, including talking about how he's way above league average in several categories, makes it sound like Shough is having a rookie season on par with like a CJ Stroud who established himself as basically a Top 5-10 QB his rookie season.  Maybe that's on me though, I don't mean to attribute anything to you that I'm sure you don't agree with.
