Seahawks executive Scot McCloughan resigning to tend to personal matters
Posted by Curtis Crabtree on April 23, 2014
The Seattle Seahawks are losing a key member of their front office staff.
A source confirmed to PFT that Seahawks’ senior personnel executive Scot McCloughan is resigning from his position in order to tend to personal matters that require his attention. The move was first reported by Jason La Canfora of CBSSports.com.
McCloughan joined the Seahawks in 2010 in a supporting role to general manager John Schneider. McCloughan had previously been the general manager of the San Francisco 49ers before stepping down following the 2009 season. McCloughan’s departure from San Francisco was also to tend to a “private personal matter.”
McCloughan has been a key figure in building the rosters of both of the NFC West’s powerhouse teams.
McCloughan drafted Dashon Goldson, Frank Gore, Vernon Davis, Joe Staley and Patrick Willis during his time with the 49ers as GM and VP of football operations. He then helped identify key players for Seattle such as Earl Thomas, Richard Sherman, Kam Chancellor and Russell Wilson that allowed Seattle to win their first Super Bowl in February.
It’s a big blow to the Seahawks personnel department. McCloughan intends to build his own independent scouting service to work from home so he can be around his family.
