Stop me if you’ve heard the one before: so a San Francisco 49ERS reporter, Las Vegas Raiders’s head coach, and the chief coach and general coach and general manager in Seattle are in the same flight …
NFL Combine: Many debates for the best players in multiple positions
Grant Cohn, a 49rs publisher of SI, posted a fascinating video on social media on Monday after flying to NFL Combine in Indianapolis. He flew out of Seattle (he explains why in the video) and just so happened that the former Seahawks and New Raiders Coach Pete Carol were on the trainer. Meanwhile, in the first grade he was a general manager/president of SEAHAWKS football operations John Schneider, along with current Seattle Mike McDonald coach.
According to Kon, Carol dared to become the first grade and spent an hour or so in conversations with Schneider and McDonald during the flight. He even made a video of Carol, which stands in the path in the chat with the couple.
It’s not something you see every day.
On Tuesday morning, Brock Huard at Seattle Sport – the longtime host of Brock and Salk, a Fox Sports football analyst and a former NFL defender – shared his thoughts after watching a horse video.
“I sincerely believe there is no animation between John Schneider and Pete Carroll,” said Huard, who spent more than a decade in an interview with Carol the day after every Seahawks game.
This may come out as a little surprise, given that Seahawks released Carol after 14 seasons last year, keeping Schneider. And it must be a surprise, according to Huard.
“Do you know how rarely does it have to happen in NFL?” Huard continued. “Or baseball in the main league or some professional franchise where you have a marriage for 13-14 years, individual (where) one has to stay, one has to go? Usually these (connections) are broken. Usually they are not warm and friendly. Usually one burned a bridge, one undermined the other, one defended his own personal interest. I don’t feel (it’s) that way. “
Huard believes that Carol and Schneider, who both started with Seahawks in 2010, remain good friends.
“You don’t have this unless they just have real relationships and a real friendship,” Huard told their conversation on Monday. “I’m sure they talked about a higher level NFL things. I’m sure there is talk of property. … I would love to participate in (places) 3D and 3E just behind this conversation. It was just a little fly on the wall and listen to all this poster. “
I think this applies to all of us.
