McCloughan intends to organize his own independent scouting service, while working from home as he tends to his family matter.
Guy wants to work for himself now.

Hmm, imagine it and it apparently becomes fact.

Attached is a thread from .Net on the feelings of hiring Jeff Ireland to replace McCloughan. Pretty much the exact opposite of your Seahawks fans predictions like usual.
Some Seahawk fans give McClouhan partial credit for your 2010 draft because he was surprisingly released just before the draft selections and appears to be part of the team that set your draft board. Another part of that has been that Baalke has yet to replicate or even come anywhere near replicating the success of that draft class.
You may also not like that Singletary also gets some credit for Harbs early success but not in the way you think. The argument is that the talent on the roster was significant and Sing did more to demoralize and diminish it than promote or build it. His demeanor was such a disciplinarian that when a players coach like Harbauigh arrived the players were extremely motivated to play for him. Having early success on the year fed into that and that year built momentum as it went on. It's not a knock on Harbaugh or his style but does acknowledge his timing in that it was a perfect storm for him to step into a talented team that was mentally beat down and ready to prove they were better than perceived.
Just some food for thought.

2010 draft got davis, iupati and bowman. 2011 got aldon kaepernick cully hunter and miller. i dont care where you come off on some of the players of their off the field issues, to say he hasnt come even remotely close to replicating the 2010 draft is laughable.

The two organizations are compared endlessly by the idiotic media, but Seahawks fans tend to compare things in a different way. Pete Carroll and John Schneider are given credit for this "exotic and innovative" way of shaping the roster (1,000+ transactions or something in that neighborhood). The point being, they came into a situation where they had to completely rebuild the team.
They also look at Harbaugh and Baalke as stepping into a situation where the roster was already loaded. That is true to an extent, but the way it's constantly exaggerated (IMO) is used to discredit what Harbaugh has done.
Because as a head coach, game planning, studying film, in-game adjustments, changing the offensive and defensive systems really account for nothing.

No ill will for the man. If he is struggling, I hope he can get help.
