In a shocking decision, the Seattle Seahawks separated with long -time head coach Pete Carroll.
The Seattle Seahawks announced last week that Pete Carroll would no longer be that of the team. This announcement was a little surprise. The 72-year-old was the oldest coach in the NFL at the time he was released. Although they would not know from the energy he shows.
Regardless of the fact that not many people in the NFL train beyond 72 years. Romeo Crennel was the oldest (73) to land a head coach job.
Last season. Carroll became the fourth oldest head coach of the NFL. Only Marv Levy, George Halas and the crenble were older. Carroll was head coach for 18 years and ran 18.
If this is the end, Carroll ended his career as head coach with a record of 170-120, in addition to a balanced playoff record of 11: 11 and 1: 1 Super Bowl record. Carroll is also the victorious coach in the history of Seattle Seahawks with a record of 137-89-1.
In his entire career he had only four lost seasons, three of whom came while they trained in Seattle. While that may sound bad, he spent most of his career as head coach in the Emerald City.
In the 14 years before Carroll’s arrival, the Seattle Seahawks made the playoffs six times and had only seven winners. Her record was 114-110 and won the division five times. Although the franchise in the Carroll -era had its greatest success, it also had some exhausts. In his first season, the team turned 7: 9, won the division and therefore made the playoffs.
This season, the most memorable playoff game of the Seattle Seahawks, The Beast Quake, was also created. Unfortunately, the Seahawks lost the next week against Chicago, but only three years later Seattle raised the Lombardi trophy when they defeated their former division competitor Denver. The following year, the Seahawks returned to the Super Bowl to be the first repeat champions since 2004.
However, there was no repetition when Carroll decided to name a passing game in second place, and the goal with 27 seconds before the game in the game after the goal. Russell Wilson’s litter was intercepted, and everyone is still surprised why he has decided to pass him instead of giving him to Marshawn Lynch. Nevertheless, Carroll is still loved by the franchise because they asked him to serve the team as a consultant.
Now the General Manager of Seattle Seahawks, John Schneider, has to decide who the best man who replaces the team’s victorious coach. The franchise has only employed three head coaches in the past 24 years. Seattle is a desirable team for coaches because they already have some excellent pieces, and with the right change changes, the team can be back in the playoffs.
