And consider how much NFL talent his program has contributed to the league and try again to justify why he sucks. You're an even bigger hateful moron than you were a few minutes ago if you make the attempt.<br /><br />And if you're a whiner that hates everyone who isn't Mike Holmgren (9-7 against the NFC Worst plus pathetic on the road) then go post on www.everythingsucks.com because you just hate for the sake of hating. Which is what you need to be doing with all other teams besides Our Beloved Seahawks, or you are not a fan of this team. <br /><br />Hating your team for any move they make is called being a hater, not a fan. Real fans hate OTHER teams for every good move THEY make, you whining bunch of dumbasses!!!bleedshawkbluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266841545258127850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237610160312318565.post-23425976144841267292010-01-14T19:43:08.099-06:002010-01-14T19:43:08.099-06:00I love that you made a Battlesetar Galatica refere...I love that you made a Battlesetar Galatica reference. Good stuff.<br /><br />I don't get why everyone else is not as ecstatic about Carroll as I am. The guy's a winner with a great attitude, charisma, and ample amounts of credibility. <br /><br />Plus he's a good Democrat which I'm all for.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08498092656203868774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237610160312318565.post-76591799657644107722010-01-14T12:37:02.095-06:002010-01-14T12:37:02.095-06:00First of all I am a diehard Hawks fan and a diehar...First of all I am a diehard Hawks fan and a diehard Huskies fan.<br /><br />The only negativity that I had was when it was rumored that Carrol may come here with complete control over the draft and trades, similar to what Holmgren had when he came. I had no problem with Holmgren's position and authority when he came, but with Carrol I was concerned since he has been engrossed in College players and not been around tenured vets in the NFL for a few years.<br /><br />That said, I absolutely love the outcome. His position is perfect. I think the coach ought to have control of who makes the squad.<br /><br />I am completely on board. I've supported this team since the early 80's (I was born in 1977). 2 of my most valued possession is my Largent classic jersey (patch numbers), and a pair of Hawks practice pants that I got through a friend of my uncle who was a coach with the Hawks. I got those in the early 90's. BTW they have #79 written on the inside (with a few other numbers crossed out), I think they may have been Jacob Green's as he was still there when I got them.<br /><br />Go Hawks!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09714262957535934748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237610160312318565.post-84451631562547627722010-01-14T03:07:20.422-06:002010-01-14T03:07:20.422-06:00Well bringing in Gibbs was a huge move in my opini...Well bringing in Gibbs was a huge move in my opinion, so it seems as if Coach Carroll begins his tenure with a strong push in the right direction.

I feel like I do when watching the first season of Friday Night Lights and I want to punch everyone in the face who doubts Coach Taylor. I'm a fan of the Seahawks and fan of anyone with proven worth who wants to join us and lead us. I'm following. Loud and proud.Toftiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12608259014315587241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237610160312318565.post-15546239883627870422010-01-13T23:53:27.609-06:002010-01-13T23:53:27.609-06:00Couldn't agree more.

I'll be positive about the new direction until there is a concrete reason not to be. Until then, slap a pair of rose-colored glasses on me to go with my Tez jersey.<br /><br />I give Paul Allen huge props for not staying with what wasn't working. With all he's going through, it certainly would've been the path of least resistance. Instead, the organization is going for broke and I roundly applaud the effort. Carroll, Alex freaking Gibbs, Bates. Yowzers. And the people they're bringing in to interview for GM? Capable individuals with stellar credentials. <br /><br />I feel buoyed by all of the moves thus far. Much better than I would've felt if we had stayed with the status quo.<br /><br />Can't wait to start the new season. GO HAWKS!!JRusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13763761733610896938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237610160312318565.post-22518243098319456522010-01-13T22:31:22.696-06:002010-01-13T22:31:22.696-06:00I too don't get the doom and gloom!

Initially wary, after some research, more research, video interviews, the 60 Minutes thing, and having read "The Inner Game of Tennis"(LOVED!), I am all in. Because in reality, what is your option? Give up the seats? Become a fan of AZ (shudder) or SF (gag)? I believe in Paul Allen and trust in the hire. A year from now, if everything has gone to hell and shows no sign of abatement then we can all feel free to go all Steve Kelly about it but until then, buy in, or jump off.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237610160312318565.post-27837609188010893372010-01-13T17:46:44.877-06:002010-01-13T17:46:44.877-06:00You know what side I am on.

People think that book is about tennis, but in reality it is one of the most transcendent books in sports and life. I know people who use it like a bible, and Pete is on board. Great Hire!
