Zorn does not need help. If you looked at Seattle's offense they're dynamic and he's a proven Qb teacher. Don't get too caught up on "West Coast". Zorn runs a form of that not the dink and dunk crap version. He's a far more aggressive verticle down the filed attacker. With Blanche we have two very aggressive coaches in place. Both are very good coaches. Now you bring in pretty boy NFL Network Steve Mariucci? I'm not buying it. Think we're going to announce Meeks before him. A hungry Dungy prototype who's defensive minded so its totally Zorn's show. Think we go places quickly with that team of coaches and our players in place.

He doesn't need help? He's going to be a first time coordinator... it might not be a bad thing to have a HC in place that's familiar with the offense he's going to be installing.

He was doing all the things a coordinator does without the title because Holmgren is the all powerful.

We're not going to be running the West Coast Offense so enough of that talk please. Lets let the coach come out and say what he's going to run first.

Mariucci is all talk no action accept the gold course. Only difference between him and Spurrier is Mooch Italian.

Considering that's the background he comes from, it's not really too big of a leap to assume he's going to run some sort of WC based offense.

I watched some Seahawks games and read a bunch about them during the year and they were exactly that dink and dunk offense you say they arent. Shaun Alexander sucked and they couldnt run, their receivers arent that good (burleson and branch were clearly system receivers), so they resorted to running a lot of slants and dump offs.

It worked, and more importantly it shows that Zorn, or whomever, made the adjustment in Seattle because their normal offense wasnt working this year. Unlike Gibbs who I think most would agree is almost down right stubborn at proving that his run first and second and third control the clock and wear out the d scheme.
