The Seattle head coach, Pete Carroll, fired the offensive coordinator Jeremy Bates. The Seahawks added as offensive line coach Tom Cable. Carroll also announced that it will become defensive line coach Todd Wash, replacing Dan Quinn, a new defensive coordinator with Florida, the promotion of Kris Richard to defensive backs coach / cornerbacks, and the Rocky Seto to assistant defensive backs coach / safeties. Bates then left after only one season, in which the Seahawks were among the worst offenses nellaNFL, finishing 28 th in the regular season. Among the candidates for replacement, the quarterback Baltimore Ravens coach, Jim Zorn, as reported by Adam Schefter of ESPN. With Jeremy Bates out, the Seahawks will now have their 4th offensive coordinator in four seasons. Bates had followed Carroll to Southern California for his return to the NFL. In 2008, Bates was quarterbacks coach in Denver in the season when Jay Cutler had thrown for more than 4,500 yards. But this season, Bates had a problem with which he fought from the start: failed to amend the West Coast offense run by Seattle last season. Like A Bates stretch the field with long passes, but the staff provi
it did not allow the OC to develop his playbook.

Bates does not want long but drives an aggressive offensive system. The fade routes calls in many situations of 3rd-and-short are signs of the offense that Bates wanted for the Seahawks and a source of criticism of the coordinator. Nell'NFC won wild-card game against New Orleans, quarterback Matt Hasselbeck had thrown two long touchdown passes to wide receiver Brandon Stokely (45 yards) in a 3rd-and-3 and the wide receiver Mike Williams (38 yards ) in a 3rd-and-2. Other critics call for the 4 th downs: The Seahawks have tried 13 4 th down conversions this season. Nor did idendità 3 ... The Seahawks offensive has changed often in recent seasons and could change again. The team has gone from the offense of Mike Holmgren in 2008 that Greg Knapp in 2009 to the offense of Bates in 2010. Even blocking schemes have changed from season to season: the last change when the offensive line coach Alex Gibbs has left the team recently from the beginning of the last regular season.
