Today we learn that Alex Gibbs will likely join the staff as Seahawks offensive line coach, replacing Mike Solari.

Gibbs is considered the preeminent offensive line coach in football. He spent last season with the Houston Texans, who ranked first...number 1 in the NFL in passing yards per game averaging over 290 yards a contest.

Zach Nally of Bleacherreport.com calls is Carroll's best hire yet.

"His longest stint was an offensive coaching gig in Denver under former head coach Mike Shanahan and Jeremy Bates, the new offensive coordinator in Seattle. He spent three marginally successful years there (1984-1987) before returning to establish one of the league's most dominant running games (1995-2003).

At Denver, the offensive line set numerous franchise records including most total yards (6,554 in 2000), most first downs (383 in 2000), most rushing yards (2,468 in 1998), and most rushing touchdowns (32 in 1998).

His offensive line also knew how to pass protect. From 1995-2000, Gibbs' line did not allow more than 35 sacks per season."

Gibbs is a baller.

If he does come aboard, Gibbs is a great hire for the Seahawks. Nice move.

It wasn't like a Ray Rhodes situation where he took a playoff team and drove them to the ground. The team sucked the year before with a HOF coach. They were slightly better this year and they had alot of injuries. Makes no sense. On a side note Carrol will never succeed in the NFL.

They had much more injuries the year before with Holmgren
