The Seattle Seahawks announced that after 14 years as the head coach, Pete Carroll will be moving into an advisory role with the organization. The decision was described as amicable, with Seahawks Chair Jody Allen expressing gratitude for Carroll's contributions.
During Carroll's tenure, the Seahawks became one of the most successful franchises in the NFL. They had a winning record in 11 of 14 seasons, reaching the postseason 10 times and winning five NFC West titles. Carroll led the team to its first Super Bowl title in 2013 and returned to the Super Bowl the following year.
Under Carroll's leadership, the Seahawks were known for their strong defense, leading the NFL in scoring defense for four consecutive seasons from 2012-2015. His coaching philosophy emphasized building a positive culture, caring for players, and instilling confidence in them.
Carroll, along with general manager John Schneider, took over the Seahawks in 2010, and their partnership resulted in significant success for the franchise. Carroll finishes his coaching tenure with a regular-season record of 137-89-1.
Prior to coaching the Seahawks, Carroll had a successful career in the NFL as an assistant, defensive coordinator, and head coach for the New York Jets and New England Patriots. He also spent nine seasons at USC, winning two national championships and four Rose Bowl titles.
The Seahawks will now embark on a new era with Carroll transitioning into an advisory role, and the search for a new head coach is expected to begin. The team finished the 2023 season with a 9-8 record but missed the playoffs.
