Seahawks GM John Schneider Takes Full Control as Search for New Head Coach Begins

Schneider believes the team is close to championship contention despite missing the postseason last season.

Seattle Seahawks General Manager John Schneider will now have full control over all personnel decisions and oversight of the coaching staff, following the decision to move Pete Carroll into an advisory role.
Schneider confirmed that the coaching staff will now report to him, a change from the previous power structure where Carroll had the final say and reported directly to ownership.
The Seahawks have requested interviews with eight different coordinators as they begin the search for Carroll's replacement.
Schneider believes the Seahawks remain close to being a championship contender, describing the team as a 'young, talented team that feels like they're right on the cusp'.
Schneider's new role and the search for a new head coach come after the Seahawks finished 9-8 last season, missing the postseason.
