How close are the Seattle Seahawks to hiring a head coach?

News Tribune Seahawks reporter talks about several of the candidates Seahawks general manager John Schneider are looking at to fill the head coach position after parting ways with Pete Carroll.

More from the Tacoma News Tribune:

Ben Johnson has been looking for the right team for a few years. I would go all in for him.

[ChrissGriffin]

Pete Carroll is probably the best option of all the coaches available right now. We’re lucky some stupid team even released one of the best coaches ever, It would be a good move to jump on this opportunity.

I like your style and honest reporting of the facts ! Thanks for this . I will definitely watch all your videos concerning the Seahawks.

[datelineyesterday]

Ben Johnson has the right approach and the talent to make things happen in Seattle!

[convertcd]

How close are they? This question is never answered in the video.

[katehunter]

I never realized you were a WP grad, Gregg. Respect!

[kevinmcneal]

Love your content Greg but need to work on the audio...

Where they have been worse in the last three years in all of football is time of possession which is controlled by the offense and if improved would improve the defense.

[douglasthompson]

Thank you for your honesty….. I think that the Hawks are probably closer than we all think.
I wish that they would have kept Pete but that’s not going to happen. We will know within a week I believe. The Hawks need to drop several players….we all know who they are.

Might be the most unpopular opinion in the comments but I'd like to see Vrabel named as coach and sign Kirk Cousins in free agency.

Wasn't there a rumor of NEW Ownership ???

[JM-wdvs]

MH, PC and then JH. WOW !! GoHawks !!

[haroldseattle]

Seahawks have a list of candidates for HC and it's a long list, but Vrabel isn't on it. JS has not mentioned Vrabel even once, nor has anyone in the Seahawks organization gone on record as saying Vrabel is a candidate. Seems more of wishing him in as a candidate then him actually being a candidate at this point and those saying he is a candidate are saying it's a hunch. Come on man, lets be more factual here. Vrabel isn't a candidate for the Seahawks HC opening.

[BeastBarracuda]

We need Mike Vrabel for Seattle Seahawks. He'll be good for my team.

[seahkfn]

Hey Greg. IMO, I think new head coach will be Dave Canales. Young, offensive minded, filled multiple coaching positions in the past, been with Seahawks previously, players know/like him and could maintain that Seahawks culture that has been established. Thoughts?

[pchinnIII]

This is John's call. Nobody has to convince Jody Allen of anything that has to do with football. She has never had to say what she wants concerning football because she has people who do that. I hope John can give the new coach enough say to run the team so a coach like Jim Harbaugh can take over or bring in someone who would welcome help like Mike MacDonald.

[bertalter]

The media and all the so called experts have been saying the Hawks are only a few players away for going deep into the playoffs. Which I don't believe that for one second, . No matter what direction they go it will take 3 years to fix the roster. If JS is making to choice he will go with an offensive minded guru.

[pchinnIII]

Running the ball and Defense are what we are seeing by the best teams in the playoffs.

[Twotontessie]

Vrabel and Quinn competent but already feel stale. Whether fair or not, guys moving into late 40s/50s who have already been fired - hard as a fan to feel that’s a step up over what we just had for 14 years.

[billyburleson]

Gotta go with Vrabel... or gotta get that offensive minded head coach....
