McCormack took over during the 57-day players strike and led the team to a 4-3 record. He then returned to his management position when the Seahawks hired Chuck Knox as their new head coach in 1983. McCormack was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame July 28, 1984.

A player out of the University of Washington, Moon played in the NFL for 17 seasons, after having played in the CFL for six seasons prior. Moon's career began in the CFL after not being drafted, because of racist stereotypes, coaches assumed he lacked the smarts to play quarterback. Moon went on to have a successful career in the CFL and an even more successful run with the Houston Oilers. Although Moon played for Seattle towards the end of his career, he was still selected to the Pro Bowl during his first season with the Seahawks and was then named MVP of the Pro Bowl that year.
