[QUOTE="TJV, post: 577968, member: 4300"] Schneider "is no TT" in a more important way: He does not equal Thompson in power within their respective organizations. Remember Carroll was hired first and he holds the titles of HC and executive vice president of football operations, while Schneider is the GM. Thompson of course is VP of football operations and GM and he hired McCarthy. Here's a quote from a January 2010 article. (Leiweke is the CEO of the Seahawks): "Asked about his role in arbitrating disputes between his coach and GM, Leiweke said, “...My job is not going to be to sit in judgment necessarily on specific issues, but overall to synthesize this group and make sure they have the resources they need to be successful. We’re going to have collaboration on the draft and our general manager will hear from Pete, and that’s a really important thing. That’s really how we wanted to set this up. ... We’re going to set this up so there is good tension where people are weighing in and we’re talking and we’re communicating, and no one person will sit in judgment of sweeping issues.” So who holds the tie-breaker when Carroll and Shneider disagree? Leiweke didn't want to say. But I think the last sentence of the article and the title tell the story. The last sentence: "But don’t be fooled into thinking Schneider will have the same input as Carroll either." and the title: "For Seattle Seahawks, Pete Carroll's No. 1 and John Schneider No. 1A". BTW, the article also alleges two GM candidates withdrew from consideration for precisely that reason.
