God I wish we would have brought Pete Carroll to DC (COY IMO). Wait, was all that talent already in Seattle? I can't remember...

Lol. Who's the next Pete Carroll?

It's not the stadium , it's the fans in the stadium .

Having been to both stadiums I can attest there's a big difference. Seattle gets way louder with 25k fewer ppl. That's stadium design, or pumping noise. You pick.

Lets just blame Synder for the stadium design. lol

I agree now with the hindsight of what he has done, but if we would have hired him instead of Shanny if we could have people would have been protesting.

I hope Snyder brings the stadium back to DC one day. Not sure what Cooke was thinking putting the stadium right off 495 that isn't metro friendly.

Probably won't happen unless Snyder changes the name.

He had to put it somewhere...DC wouldn't give up land to build it, look at the hassle the Nats went through.

A major part of it is the design of the stadium. The canopies that are designed to cover the fans from ran (Seattle gets a lot of rain as I am sure you know) also trap the sound making it basically a sound tunnel. It is really the reason why there is such a difference between Seattle's stadium and other outdoor stadiums throughout the league.

Any coach would not have fared any better had they came into the situation that Mike was handed. I STILL don't get why he took this job. I guess 7 mil/yr will make a man do crazy things.


Also, to think that Pete Carrol is a better coach than Mike Shanahan is beyond laughable, it's downright moronic.

Pete carrol didnt exactly walk into a great situation in Seattle. Pretty much all the talent they have now is because of carrol on his staff.

And right now carrol is the better coach. Legacy and career accomplishments shanahan has him beat by a mile. But in what they both have done recently... It's not even close.

I agree, this place was a F'ing mess before he got here. Your are right he probably took the job because of the money offered. But at this point I don't know what I want them to do with the coaching staff. I heard a good point on the radio today, and it basically said if you don't offer Shanny an extension and he picks up players in FA and draft then fire him next year the it's another wasted year since those players might not fit the new coaches scheme.
