How the Seahawks Learned Their Lesson and Re-Built a Super Bowl Contender
There was never really a bottoming out for the Legion of Boom Seahawks—it was more of a filtering out of the stars as Pete Carroll & Co. continually found ways to keep their heads above water. A streak of five straight postseason appearances, with playoff wins in all five years and two trips to the Super Bowl mixed in, was snapped with a 9–7 season in 2017. And that was followed by another three straight trips to the tournament.
Rock bottom? That came in 2021, a 7–10 season which preceded the Russell Wilson trade.
Through all that, it would have been easy for Seahawks GM John Schneider and his staff to keep riding what had been tried and true as the team’s top football exec settled into his second decade in charge. But he and his staff knew the talent the Seahawks had once accumulated in building that powerhouse wasn’t the same. And it was time to address it.
Seahawks General Manager John Schneider named PFWA Executive of the Year
SEATTLE — Seattle Seahawks general manager and president of football operations John Schneider has been named the NFL’s Executive of the Year by the Professional Football Writers of America, an honor recognizing his role in assembling a team that finished the regular season 14-3 and earned a spot in this weekend’s NFC Championship Game.
Schneider, who helped build the Seahawks into Super Bowl champions early in his tenure, is receiving the award for the first time. More than a decade after those championship seasons, he has again overseen the construction of one of the league’s top teams, one that followed up its regular-season success with a dominant divisional-round victory.

John Schneider finally gets major award Pete Carroll kept him from getting
For 14 years, Pete Carroll was truly in charge of the on-field product of the Seattle Seahawks. He was the head coach, but he was also the Vice President of Football Operations and had final say over roster moves. General manager John Schneider simply had a great input and worked out getting contracts signed.
That changed when the team decided to move on from Carroll after the 2023 season. Carroll still had a year left on his guaranteed contract, but he was listed as an "advisor" in 2024; he didn't seem to have to do much of that.
Instead, Schneider became the President of Football Operations and took on the duties that most other GMs have. The roster was one made from Schneider's view, and he oversaw the head coach. He was also in charge of hiring the new coach.
