Seahawks Move on From Pete Carroll As Coach
Pete Carroll is out as the coach of Seattle Seahawks, the team announced on Wednesday afternoon. The news was first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter. He is expected to stay within the organization as an advisor.
“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,” team owner Jody Allen said in a release.
Carroll has been with the Seahawks since 2010, compiling a 137–89 record since taking the job. He is the winningest coach in the franchise’s history and led the organization to its first-ever Super Bowl win after the 2013 season.

The shocking move comes after Seattle just missed out on the postseason with a 9–8 record. On Monday, Carroll firmly stated that he wanted to coach Seattle in 2024.
“I plan to be coaching this team. I told you I love these guys. That’s what I would like to be doing and see how far we can go,” he said. “I’m not tired. I’m not worn out. I need to do a better job and help my coaches more.”
