Seahawks general manager John Schneider told reporters yesterday that the team will begin interviewing candidates for their head coach vacancy today. Fans should definitely not expect Schneider to be too open about the search, certainly not sharing the constant-cringe type updates like the Falcons are for their head coach search. However, we do know Seattle has requested interviews with at least eight different coordinators around the league.
Naturally, Seahawks fans have been sharing their thoughts on the search all week since Pete Carroll was officially removed as head coach. Here’s what 12s are sharing on the search to replace Carroll.
A playoff game…. And a #Seahawks job interview? Winner of the game hands over their respective OC/DC? Who says no??? pic.twitter.com/h4zZfdlsLa

Have to at least interview Harbaugh doing our due dilligence. Polarizing or not I want to win and we are losing ground to SF & LA in the NFC West. Sweep the leg. #GoHawks pic.twitter.com/hFzh7CRDOa— erik22lax (@erik22lax) January 17, 2024

Seahawks coaching candidates rankings for me.
I’m happy with any of these being our next HC1. Bobby Slowik
2. Mike MacDonald
3. Ben Johnson
4. Dave canalesMike tomlin (ain’t happening but a man can dream)#Seahawks

Is Dave Canales really that good? I know he’s doing well this season but how has he been before this year? Is he really ready for a HC job? #Seahawks

#Seahawks … if you’re not pursuing @LaneKiffin, you’re stupid.
Alabama already made that mistake.
His dad was a defensive God; he’s an offensive genius who’s made a ton of mistakes, came back to rebuild 3 programs.
If you don’t think he saved Saban’s ass, you’re uninformed. pic.twitter.com/Kllz5vbUEq

#Seahawks, PLEASE interview Eric Bieniemy!
— ThaDabCrab (@ThaDabCrab) January 17, 2024
If the #Seahawks are going for a coach to fix the defense, Mike Macdonald is the guy. If they're trying to keep the culture and have an offensive scheme guy, then Canales is it.

#Seahawks have requested interviews with both Ben Johnson and Bobby Slowik. Young offensive minds.
Now that search is growing I’m getting more and more excited. Hopefully they land the right person for the job.

What the Pete apologists and loyalists don’t understand is that you can be a great and HOF coach and still be fired.
This team has lost its edge including a championship culture so a change was inevitable. #seahawks #NFL #NFLnaESPN

So, majority is crying over Pete being let go. SMH
How long do you want to wait? Till he’s 80? Appreciate what he’s done but stop the nonsense, stop whining, we all age. Move on, go forward, seek for better results!#Seahawks— iBall (@SportsVia) January 16, 2024

Somebody mentioned that Harbaugh may not be a right fit for the #Seahawks I would love to see him as coach, but they may be right. He strikes me as a bit headstrong. Not sure if he and John Schneider would get along.

Evero Requested for an interview with the #Seahawks This one is a brilliant call in my opinion. His achievement on his side of the ball for the #Panthers this year was phenomenal. Top 5 NFL defence with Jaycee Horn and Shaq Thompson missing significant time. pic.twitter.com/v5eLvJKfgw

I’m learning more about the guys the #Seahawks are planning to interview and I’m learning some good stuff. It’s a solid list. But if Dave Canales isn’t on it, they’re failing.

I like that the Seahawks are interviewing everybody but I’m really scared of making a mistake😭 #seahawks
— Seahawks Thoughts (@Huhum75559273) January 16, 2024
If Seattle really wants Ben Johnson or Mike MacDonald, the chances of landing one of the two are high. Seattle will be higher on the lists of places people would like to go. It’s a good situation to inherit, and a strong foundation to build on. #Seahawks

So apparently Jody Allen was so upset about Pete’s last few years he had to go despite the fact they have no clear pick for a replacement.

These coaches we’ve interviewed are BAD.. Again I understand that Mike and Ben have not been interviewed because they’re in the playoffs but maaaan Panthers DC are you serious? 🧐 #seahawks
— Seahawks Thoughts (@Huhum75559273) January 15, 2024
I’d say that if you think that Dan Quinn would be a wise choice by John Schneider & the #Seahawks for multiple reasons – like I do – it would be a bit impetuous to change your mind after 1 result.
But it was disconcerting. No doubt. https://t.co/dU0PHxPplY
