MUELLER AND REINFELDT, BACK IN SEATTLE?
According to Pro Football Talk, rumors are circulating that Seahawks owner Paul Allen will bring back Randy Mueller and Mike Reinfeldt to the franchise. The report has Mueller as general manager and Reinfeldt as president.
While I said in my case for Mueller that he should be hired as president, I don't think I'll have a problem with him as general manager. If you've taken the time to read my case, you'd also know that I want Reinfeldt back in Seattle as well. Reinfeldt would be better served as the Seahawks president, while Mueller can deal with the football side of things as GM. But barring any changes in plan, it looks like many Seahawks fans will get their wish.
What does this mean for Bob Ferguson? That remains to be seen. But Mueller is certainly someone that nobody should raise their noses at. The man is a damn good football executive and should never have been able to leave Seattle in the first place. But the past is the past and the Seahawks are headed in the right direction.
Sure, Paul Allen could have gotten rid of Bob Whitsitt a long time ago. But as the old saying goes, it's better late than never. Removing Whitsitt from the Seahawks front office was a move that had to be done.
More importantly, bringing Mueller and Reinfeldt back to the Seahawks front office are two moves that have to be done. Stay tuned.
