good decision, i mean what else are we gonna do really
Would have liked to see the results this season before an extension. He has huge blind spots.
Him and Mike are a duo for the long term it seems.
This is good – I want to see JS with more time separated from Pete to really see his vision vs. what Pete had wanted all those years.
Now that John doesn’t work for Pete, I feel like our last 2 drafts were both better. The hiring of Mike was spot on, but hiring of OC Grubb was a big miss. Now that MM has a year with the Seahawks I expect Kubiak to be more the style of game John and MM are looking for.
He EATING off that SB win 12 years ago.
Would have liked to have seen how this season plays out. He has made some significant moves that we haven’t seen the results of just yet.
Wonder if a soon to be sale has anything to do with this decision, because like people said I think the jury is still out on Schneider without Pete.
Eh. Would have preferred to see the results this season. That super bowl win 12 years ago is carrying this dudes career
John Schneider is a really good GM. This is an excellent decision
Not really the extension news I was waiting for, but fineeee. We could have it a lot worse than JS.
I just hope our new offensive staff point him in the right direction for getting our O-line right over the next couple years. Also, I’m nervous about him being able to hold together our D-line going forward. He genuinely got us into a great spot after taking us through the wasteland for a while, and we need him to be able to sustain it.
2030…. really? Trading for Jamal Adams, Percy Harvin, Jimmy Graham and Sheldon Richardson was huge mistakes. The draft classes from 2013 to 2021—excluding 2015—were very bad to mediocre.
Love it!!!! Well deserved, especially in the last 3 drafts. Great Redemption.
Jody took one look at training camp and said “we’re going to the superb owl, here have an extension” or something. It’s a decent decision though, Schneider has his ups and downs but he’s a known solid quantity and his approach *is* changing slowly for the better as he works with MacDonald.
After last draft, as long as the new John “values” guard play, I’m pumped.
This feels really premature if this team doesn’t take a significant step forward past the usual treadmill zone (8-10 wins). I would’ve had him earn it after the result of this season played out and we’d have a clearer picture on if this team is heading in the right direction or not.
Don’t love it. His seat’s temperature should’ve been determined on how the OL plays this season
hmmm. Well I sure do like John as a person, but I wouldn’t have been surprised if he got fired any of the last couple years.
Definitely worse GMs out there so it’s not like I hate it. He is good at some things bad at others.
I wanted him gone with Pete, but the last 2 seasons have been pretty good on his end. Idk about an extension through 2030, I would have waited for his contract to near expiration in 2 years before deciding
But also its not like he counts towards the cap, if for whatever reason its a disaster that can be pinned on him the team just moves on
Anyone thinking this isn’t deserved is out of touch. JS is universally considered one of the best GMs in football by people who actually do this for a living. Polled as the best talent evaluator in a GM poll last year. He’s very respected for the work he does.
Fans’ issues are that they expect success to be analogue. That if a GM does a good job, it will correlate 1:1 with wins. It doesn’t. Guys have to make educated guesses and hope for the best all the time. Injuries blow up the best made plans. Having the best process doesn’t always get the results you want, but it does mean you have a good shot at digging yourself out of holes that circumstances made. The fact they transitioned through multiple different cores under JS with zero consecutive losing seasons is a testament to how well this franchise is run. Most Super Bowl cores go away and the team loses for 3+ years before getting back on their feet.
No FO has close to a 50% chance of their plans resulting in a Super Bowl. However, the Seahawks have shown that they consistently build winning teams under JS. They’ve also shown that eventually, their plans can line up right and result in multiple deep playoff runs. That’s the guy you want running things.
Premature. Don’t love it.
Dude had shown a chronic inability to navigate the OL market and the team is probably sending a bottom 5 unit out there again this year.
John is good at other things, but his failure year after year at OL should require accountability. It is frustrating that will apparently never be the case.
Feels like a preamble to a sale of the team to me.
