Ladies and gentlemen, the best offensive line coach in the game is joining the Seattle Seahawks as O-Line coach. That is HUGE. Solari is good, Gibbs is literally a legend. He created this system, and it has not failed him yet. Incredible.

Update: Hey guys, I'm going to work on getting a profile of Gibbs up later today, better explaining who he is and why he matters to the NFL. Also, I was too frantic to source, apologies. Adam Schefter and Chris Mortenson both reported this.

That's what I wanted to see, a HC with balls enough to hire top coaches to work under him from outside his own organization. Too many coaches are like Erickson, who when asked what quality he valued most in a prospective coordinator, replied "Loyalty:.

Caroll seems to feel if he hires top coaches and treats them well, he will earn thier loyalty, rather than demanding it a la Timmay! Ruskell.

While I feel for Solari, GIbbs is also famous and if he knows this system well, all the better. I dont think the ZBS is Solari's bag anyhow.

Keep 'em coming, Pete! Im starting to drink the Kool-Aid again!

i hate when people say South Alaska. F ALASKA!!!!! Its SEATTLE WASHINGTON. Seahawk Nation stand up

written by GnarlyHawk, January 12, 2010
more than balls STTBM. It is unlikely anyone wouldn't want the best they can obtain at something. It is more likely, they are only able to influence and secure so much. Pete Carroll is known and respected, appears incredibly likeable. This alone will influence folks to want to hop on board. Thats my take anyway.

This is huge, way bigger than a single victory on a Sunday. I am so happy. Its great to have the richest owner in the NFL and be able to pull off moves like this. There is no salary cap for coaches as my uncle always says.

Hey Chris

Billt said his goodbye's on another post, due to a rather sickening potshot some douche took at him, and the fact few of us got angry enough to tell the fool to stuff it.

Thats his choice if he wants to leave, but it doesnt feel right. Maybe you guys could post a short note on behavior expected on this site and what a lack of civility causes. (and yes I know you've mentioned it before)

And it wouldnt hurt to start a post where folks can comment thier support of Billt. I think he deserves that much.

Sorry if this should have been sent somewhere else, I dont have much time.

Godfather of the Zone Blocking Scheme

Alex Gibbs is practically the Godfather of the ZBS. He mastered the philosophy in Denver then on to Atlanta and Houston.

Did you see Pete's press conference,

What a class, what an energy. I have a real good feeling about this. And, I am 100% sold.

STTBM re: Bill T
written by Seahawk Addicts, January 12, 2010
I've spoken with Bill and I don't think that's a poor idea. I'll see what I can put together re: comment policy and so forth. Bill is departing for now, but he will retain posting privileges and may end up posting at some point in the future. Fingers crossed, eh?

written by Texashawk, January 12, 2010
That sucks that people have to out others like Billt down simply because they do not agree with his opinion, or because his posts are too long (then dont read them holy *&@#). If you dont agree then debate but don't debase thats classless.

Chris, please send my regards to Billt it sucks to lose someone so dedicated to the seahawk nation because a few douche bags.

written by Griffin, January 12, 2010
It regards to Billt, I hadn't been reading his posts because I didn't get in on his contest, but anyone who took a potshot at him can have the "banned for life" label attached to them. Billt, you're a good writer and you've provided some good points in your posts; if you're done, thanks for your posts.
Where is this story being reported?
written by realspd, January 12, 2010
Was the Gibbs thing in the presser? I dont see it being reported anywhere else...

As for Billt - I agree with the above comments, ban people that are not able to be civil. If they dont like a particular blogger they can simply skip those posts. I dont always agree with his perspective and man are some of his posts long! but clearly he was putting thought and effort into his posts which always gave us something to think about.

Bring back billt and start pulling the trigger on the ban button when needed.
...
written by Riggle, January 12, 2010
I agree.
If it is technically possible, the tiny people who constantly insult BillT should be banished.

It's too bad that they are such unhappy people that they resort to writing those things. Who knows what past personal tragedies and abuses shaped them?

I'm starting to get really excited about this new staff. Where I had my doubts when Mora started hiring his staff, I've got no doubts about who PC has tapped so far.

Also, while I didn't want Holmgren to come back, I do want BillT to return! Come on back, big guy.

written by tam, January 12, 2010
seriously bring back Billt, dont let a couple bad apples ruin it for the rest of the gang.

written by neon green, January 12, 2010
I am really sorry to hear that BillT has finally had enough from the POS's that make it personal. I dont agree with everything anybody says (even myself) but the fact is we can all disagree in a civil, adult like manor. If you can not argue your point of view without making it personal, do us all a favor and crawl back under the rock of which you came from.
As for BillT, I hope you change your mind Bill. I always appreciated your prospective, as a long time Seahawk fan even when I didnt agree with you or have time to read the entire article.

written by hawksnest116, January 12, 2010
I really liked you post. I dindt fully agree 100% on every post I still read. I am in full support of the people who run this page. We as Seahawk addicts already lost Steffers. I dont post as much as other while I do read 3 or 4 times a day. But this I wanted to call in support for BillT. The current writters need impose some law on this page.
Very good, and very bad ...
written by dj_meatwad, January 12, 2010
Very good: Alex Gibbs! This is something I was not expecting ... he's a legendary offensive line coach who was gotten RESULTS everywhere he's been.

Very bad: BillT. BillT has been one of the best things about this site ... the jackasses who have driven him off should be found, drawn, and quartered. The lion's share of us appreciate you, Bill! (anyone who plays in a Tower Of Power cover band - have done that myself in the past - can't be all bad!)

Excited to see the father of the ZBS on board. It's a lot easier to find guys who are in the under 300 lb range who can move quick enough to do it than it is to find guys in the Walter Jones/Hutch category that can play well at 325 lbs.

Wildly successful everywhere he's gone, check the Denver line: put the janitor back there and he'll get 1,000 yards, and we all saw what his work in Houston produced a few weeks ago. If you can't beat 'em, hire 'em!!!

As for BillT, your articles are the best I've seen covering my favorite topic, a unique combination of passion for the subject, insightful analysis and somewhat objective homerism that strives to stay positive regardless of the topic. Between this quality and the dialogue sparked by those that disagree and present a reasoned argument as to why are the reason why I am able to ignore most all other commercial, corporate media-whore outlets that tell me nothing and still find a way to insult my intelligence and passion for all things Seahawk.

Those that don't like it and resort to personal attacks instead of backing up why they disagree with some facts are far too dumb and shallow to process the information presented.

I believe that BillT most irritates those who are looking for any reason to hate something, and their vicious reactions are a function of fishing to blame anyone but themselves for their crappy, miserable lives. They have no place here.

BillT does. Always.

Bill T- I'm Dissapointed In You.
written by LouieLouie, January 12, 2010
I'm dissapointed that you would allow a couple of nit-wits to drive you off of this site. I, for one, like your posts. I like them even better when I dissagree with you.

Maybe you have greener pastures to romp in. If that is the case, I wish you the best. If that isn't the case; get your ass back here and start ranting again.
