A where are they now post.http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/story/13882240/gibbs-retires-suddenly-week-before-seahawks-openerCBSSports.com wire reportsSep. 4, 2010SEATTLE -- A week before their season begins, the Seattle Seahawks are looking for a new offensive line coach after the sudden retirement of Alex Gibbs.The veteran coach known for his success with zone blocking schemes stepped down on Saturday, just eight days before the Seahawks' season opener against San Francisco.A team spokesman says the 69-year-old Gibbs was "worn out."Gibbs was considered one of coach Pete Carroll's key hires as he assembled his staff in the offseason. Gibbs was hired away from Houston, where he was an assistant coach with the Texans for two seasons. Gibbs won two Super Bowl rings as an assistant in Denver in the late 1990s. Gibbs spent 13 total seasons in Denver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dharma Initiative Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 I haven't seen any good moves come out of Seattle this offseason. I have no doubt they will probably be the worst team in the NFL. They got rid of any half decent players and brought in nobodies for starters.

Dem Birds Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Tough break, at least they still have Earl Thomas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voice of Reason Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 I'm not sure why this surprises anyone. If you all will recall, he would only "coach" our o-line during the preseason and help determine which players we'd keep. Then, once the regular season started, he'd stay at home while another line coach did the actual "in season" coaching. Heck, he even did this with Denver his last few years there. I'd be really shocked if those in the Seahawks organization didn't already expect this (especially with Ruskell having worked with Gibbs for so long).

duncja Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 The only interesting storyline out of Seattle to me is Mike Williams. He seems humble after his 'fall from grace' and I'm a fan of second chances, so I'm hoping he has a productive season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazoo Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 this is a pattern of bahavior with Gibbs....he's done this before and he;s threatened it even more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenB321 Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 It was a good move by Seattle to fire Mora. I still can't believe they were that stupid. That would be like a team hiring Rich McKay to be their GM. Not smart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
