Pete Carroll out as Seattle Seahawks coach and move Into Advisor Role

Pete Carroll, the legendary head coach of the Seattle Seahawks, has recently announced his decision to step down from his coaching position and transition into an advisory role within the organization. This news has sent shockwaves throughout the football community, as Carroll's tenure with the Seahawks has been nothing short of remarkable.

Carroll's impact on the Seahawks cannot be overstated. Since joining the team in 2010, he led them to unprecedented success, including two Super Bowl appearances and one championship victory. His unique coaching style, characterized by a relentless focus on competition and a commitment to player development, transformed the Seahawks into one of the most dominant teams in recent NFL history.

The Seahawks and Pete Carroll, who over the course of 14 seasons became the winningest coach in franchise history, have amicably agreed that his role will evolve from head coach to an advisor with the organization, Seahawks Chair Jody Allen announced on Wednesday.

"After thoughtful meetings and careful consideration for the best interest of the franchise, we have amicably agreed with Pete Carroll that his role will evolve from Head Coach to remain with the organization as an advisor," Allen said in a statement. "Pete is the winningest coach in Seahawks history, brought the city its first Super Bowl title, and created a tremendous impact over the past 14 years on the field and in the community. His expertise in leadership and building a championship culture will continue as an integral part of our organization moving forward.

Carroll stepped aside with a 137-69-1 record in the regular season in his time with the Seahawks. He led Seattle to five NFC West titles and 10 playoff victories.

But the Seahawks plateaued toward the end of Carroll’s time. Seattle finished with a losing record in 2021, made the playoffs at 9-8 in 2022 and was unable to make the leap that it was expected to being more of a contender in the NFC West this season.

Carroll himself sounded frustrated going into Week 18 about how this season had gone.

"I'm freakin jacked, I'm fired up, I'm not tired, I'm not worn down," he said. "You guys tried your best, you didn't wear me out. It's the end of the season, I'm supposed to go lay on the couch somewhere -- I ain't feeling like that. What's coming, I don't know. I've got no idea and I really don't care right now, but I'm excited about it because there's a lot to learn, there's a lot to study, there's some great discoveries that are going to come our way.

"And as my all-time mentor Bud Grant said, not in so many words, 'There's rivers to wade, there's waves to catch and there's mountains to hike.' It wasn't exactly how he said it, but I get it. There's some cool stuff that we're going to do here and I look forward to all that."
