Brady Henderson reports on Brian Schottenheimer being out as Seahawks offensive coordinator after three seasons.

SEATTLE -- In a surprising move, Brian Schottenheimer is out as Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator after three seasons.

The decision comes after a disappointing end to an odd season in which the Seahawks scored the most points in franchise history but slogged their way through the second half.

On his 710 ESPN Seattle radio show Monday, coach Pete Carroll was asked for his assessment of the job Schottenheimer did in 2020, and whether he expected him back.

In his public comments since the season ended, Carroll has expressed regret that the Seahawks didn't adjust better to the way opponents were defending them in the second half of the season.

Seattle reestablished its run-heavy offense in 2018 and 2019, then dropped back to pass more than any team in the NFL did over the first 10 weeks of this season in a drastic shift.

The Seahawks scored a franchise-record 459 points in the regular season, but that was heavily weighted toward the beginning of the season, as Seattle topped 30 points in seven of its first eight games.

But over the final eight weeks of the regular season, Seattle's points-per-game average dropped to 22.6 (which was 16th) and Wilson threw 12 TD passes (tied for 13th).

Wilson threw two touchdowns and a pick-six that Carroll said was not his fault.

When asked about the Seahawks' offensive regression after their hot start, Carroll said they didn't adjust well enough to how opponents were defending their deep passing in the play-action game, traditionally a big part of Seattle's success.

The Seahawks ranked fifth in offensive scoring in Schottenheimer's first season, eighth in 2019 and sixth in 2020
