    The Bills NEXT Special Teams coach?

    Pete Rodriguez is no longer the Seahawks' special-teams coach after coach Mike Holmgren dismissed him yesterday.

    Rodriguez announced yesterday that he is seeking employment elsewhere after six seasons in Seattle.

    Rodriguez, 63, has long been considered one of the top special-teams coaches in the NFL. He joined the Seahawks before the 1998 season as former coach Dennis Erickson's assistant head coach and special-teams coach. In 1999, Holmgren kept Rodriguez as special-teams coordinator.

    After several years of high league rankings in special teams with the Phoenix (now Arizona) Cardinals, Washington and Seattle in the 1990s, Rodriguez said he felt that the Seahawks were just above-average the past two seasons, and the high standards previously set were not met.

    Here's some interesting info from that article......

    "I think Mike wants to get back to that same standard, so it's time to move on," Rodriguez added. "And once you set that high standard, it's expected of you every year to achieve that standard. We weren't quite able to do that."

    The Seahawks had the top punt coverage unit in the NFL in 2003, allowing just 4.8 yards per return. But it wasn't enough for Rodriguez to remain.
    He's leaving because he feels that they didn't do good enough? Man! Top punt return coverage?

                      Tasker has already stated (several times) that he is not interested in the time commitment involved with coaching... not to mention the pay cut.

                        Rodriguez sounds great to me. He's been one of the best in the league for years.

                            I'd sign him up!
                            Someone said "What's he gonna turn out like?" Ha!
                            And someone else said "Never mind!"
