Pete Carroll Steps Down as Seahawks Head Coach
Carroll's Departure Follows a Decade Without a Super Bowl Win, Despite His Desire to Continue Coaching
- Pete Carroll, the former head coach of the Seattle Seahawks, has stepped down after 14 seasons, a Super Bowl win, two total Super Bowl appearances, and the most victories in franchise history.
- Carroll's departure was marked by a private party attended by several members of Seattle's 2013 Super Bowl team, including Russell Wilson and Richard Sherman.
- Despite Carroll's successful tenure, the Seahawks have not been a true Super Bowl contender in nearly a decade, leading to the decision to move in a different direction.
- Carroll, known for his upbeat, energetic personality, expressed his desire to continue coaching and may be considered for head coach positions for the 2024 season.
- The Seahawks' decision to move on from Carroll is also attributed to the team's lack of sustained postseason success, the decline of the defense, and the offense's lack of consistency.
