NFL insider
Adam Schefter tweeted that the Hawks, looking to replace the recently departed Brian Schottenheimer, appear to be in line to hire the Los Angeles Rams passing game coordinator Shane Waldron.
ESPN.com reporter Brady Henderson
mentions in his column that the Rams have now lost five members of Head Coach Sean McVay s coaching staff. He also mentions that Hawks star quarterback Russell Wilson, apparently, was instrumental in the process of tabbing Waldron which had been the source of much speculation.
Wilson s self-proclaimed quarterback guru, Jake Heaps, was thrilled with the announcement of Seattle s pending decision as evidenced by his reaction in the following tweet:
Have Pete Carroll and Russell Wilson Run Their Course Together?
In a somewhat disturbing RT (retweet) by Jake Heaps yesterday (January 25), the speculation that Seahawks Head Coach Pete Carroll and star Quarterback Russell Wilson are not on the same page or of the same offensive philosophy were confirmed sort of by Wide Receiver D.K. Metcalf (see: below).
Heaps, Wilson s self-proclaimed personal quarterback guru , has been somewhat critical of Carroll s unwillingness to Let Russ Cook and move away from his preference to establish the running game. That notion was, at least, echoed in the video of Metcalf when he was asked, What happened to the Seahawks [in 2020]? Metcalf responded with, Teams just started to figure us out and went on to say that all they did was run the ball, run the ball, run the ball, go deep.
SEATTLE The Seattle Seahawks are planning to hire Los Angeles Rams passing game coordinator Shane Waldron as their new offensive coordinator, a source told ESPN s Adam Schefter.
Waldron has not called plays in any of his seven seasons as an NFL assistant. He spent the past four campaigns with the Rams, having followed coach Sean McVay to Los Angeles from the Washington Football Team. He s a phenomenal coach, McVay said of Waldron in 2018, according to The Detroit News. He s a great communicator. He s got a rare ability to authentically and genuinely connect with not only coaches but the players and be able to correct in a manner that doesn t make guys guards come up. It s all about problem-solving and doing it together. He s obviously done a phenomenal job, really mainly as a leader for our offense, not exclusively to just being a pass game coordinator.
