Seahawks plan ahead, hire Vermeil to replace Mora

The Seahawks have embraced a plan-ahead approach that is allowing the team to really get ahead of the curve on major transactions. The first step was the hiring of Mora to replace Mike Holmgren for the 2009 season, over a year in advance.

“This is a technique that I learned from my days at Microsoft,” Allen said. “It’s a simple best-business practice. A lean organization is able to plan ahead, to adapt in advance, to really be proactive and aggressive. So that’s simply what we’re doing.”

Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck didn’t seem particularly concerned about the move to hire Vermeil.

“What the hell do I care?” Hasselbeck asked. “I’m getting traded to the Browns in 2012, so I’ve got much bigger fish to fry. Ever try and buy a house in Cleveland three years in advance?”
