Qwest Field: Where Hall-of-Fame Football Coaching Careers Go to Die

For the second year in a row, a legendary coach has ended his career with a loss at Qwest Field.

Last year, it was Bill Parcells who, though he's taken over as a GM in Miami, claims his final game as coach was last year's Cowboys playoff loss at Seattle.

This year, it's Joe Gibbs, who resigned this morning, three days after his Redskins lost to the Hawks at Qwest.

Other coaching legends who saw their careers wind down against Seattle teams:

John Wooden's final loss as a coach was at Hec Ed Pavilion on Feb. 22nd, 1975, when the Huskies beat his Bruins 103-81. (UCLA went on to win the NCAA tournament that year).

Bill Walsh's final win as a coach was against the Huskies, a 46-28 victory at Stanford in 1994.
