Bonehand Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 2 Items of import this AM: First off, Mike Reinfeldt is staying (Great News!) & the Hawks are looking to hire former Rams DC Larry Marmie to help with the Secondary. Both From Mike Sando, Tacoma News Tribune: "The 49ers' pursuit of Seahawks VP Mike Reinfeldt was one of the stories that came and went during my vacation. Reinfeldt withdrew from consideration, no surprise given that the 49ers were not offering full control of football operations. Reinfeldt has a good job with the Seahawks (overseeing the salary cap and contract negotiations). I would not expect him to leave just to take more money someplace else, or just to assume a fancier title." AND "The Seattle Seahawks are expected to add former St. Louis Rams and Arizona Cardinals defensive coordinator Larry Marmie to their coaching staff in the coming days, NFL sources said Thursday. Marmie, 63, spent the past two seasons as the Rams’ defensive coordinator. He was with the Cardinals from 1996 through 2003, serving his final four years there as coordinator. The Seahawks interviewed Marmie this week. Marmie recently interviewed for the Green Bay Packers’ opening as defensive backs coach. The job went to Kurt Schottenheimer. In Seattle, Marmie presumably would help out with the secondary. The Seahawks have sought to add another experienced coach to a group that already features coordinators John Marshall and Ray Rhodes. Marshall took over for Rhodes during the 2005 season after Rhodes suffered two mild strokes; the team has not yet publicly defined their roles for 2006."

Seahawks21 Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Good and good. Its odd how thoughts change over the years. In the past I would have figured that whoever came to help the Seahawks must have been some bum that was so unsuccessful they had to come here. It is amazing I have the trust I do in the present regime to think automatically that this is probably pretty good. I heard he was the guy that was always considered a good coach in a bad situation. WOOOOHOOOO!!!! How's that for pessimism?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
