Pete Carroll isn’t immortal. The question of what happens if the next coach isn’t good is coming regardless. The question is, if we’re in a full rebuild now, is Carroll going to be coaching long enough to see it through, or do we move on now and start the process of finding the next longterm answer at HC and QB? If Pete thinks he has 5 years left in him, then it’s a moot point. He’ll be coaching until he retires, because I honestly don’t see this ownership group making a change.

Personally, I’d love nothing more than for Pete to go out on top.

Where do you expect us to be picking?

Worked out pretty good for the Jets.

Not having the rising QB is the point though… you want the new HC to hand pick their QB and develop them. Pete may have found a fountain of youth somewhere, but is it realistic to expect him to continue coaching through a rookie QB contract?

Sean McVay was unproven. Kyle Shanahan was unproven. The list goes on. At some point we’ll have to face the music and take a chance on finding a guy like that.

You should always take a shot on a QB until you find the guy. Doesn’t necessarily have to be in the 1st round (hurts losing that 2nd).

Darrell Taylor isn’t on this team next year, and at this point I don’t think Diggs is either.

Lockett can never retire.
