A shocker in Seattle: Pete Carroll is expected to be out as the Seahawks head coach, per sources. He still could remain in the organization, but not as the head coach.

    I can’t believe Jody Allen finally did it. I didn’t think she would rock the boat, but I’m glad she did. Phase two is getting a serious hire. Let’s go Jim Harbaugh!

        I don’t dislike Pete Carroll, but his time passed quite a while ago. I’m confident that Paul would have moved off of him 5 years ago if he hadn’t passed away.

        Pete, as a defensive coach who created one of the greatest NFL defenses to ever grace the gridiron, has consistently produced below average to actually bad defenses since 2018.

        The last few years we got flat out coached offensively and defensively by McVay and Shanahan. If you can’t see that then whatever, but this was the right move at the right time.

        No hate on Pete whatsoever, but nobody stays relevant forever. This team has too much young talent, and it needs a hungrier coaching staff to take advantage of that.

          He’s also lost some of the best defensive coaches over the last little while. If you look at the tree of defensive coaches from Carroll it’s pretty astounding.

            I was never a fan of Clint Hurt, Sean Desai hasn’t impressed in Philly, and Ken Norton Jr. wasn’t very good either. The two really stand out Seahawks DC’s were Dan Quinn and Kris Richard, and Dan Quinn may still end up back in Seattle.

      Harbs v shanahan two or three times a year… That would be something.

      At least Seattle already budgets for khakis.

        It is just one thought. I really wonder if he is going to consider heading back to the NFL after that ass whooping Michigan gave UW. What is another candidate you would like to see?

          Well, I want Harbaugh to stay at Michigan. I don’t know if that is possible at this point, but I don’t really care who Seattle hires. If Seattle is keeping Carroll on in the front office, it might be a reason Harbaugh passes on the job.
