The Seahawks are going to hire former 49ers general manager Scot McCloughan. Seattle is expected to make an announcement later this week and his exact title isn't yet known. "It's huge for us because Scot is one of the most respected personnel people in the league," Seahawks general manager John Schneider said Monday. "He played a critical role in helping the Seahawks become a Super Bowl team [in 2005] and did a great job in rebuilding the 49ers over the last few years."
