The Seattle Seahawks, who won the regular-season finale 21–20 against the Arizona Cardinals, will have to watch the playoffs from home beginning on Sunday. Now, where will Pete Carroll watch the Seahawks the following season from?
Saying that the Seahawks’ season was a letdown would be an understatement for a team that many believed made progress this offseason in an effort to close the gap on the NFC West-leading San Francisco 49ers. But it appears they’ve deteriorated even despite two first-round selections, one of which was in the top five. This raised the question of what Seahawks coach Carroll should take away from this poor season. Was the 72-year-old still in a safe position? Or is his seat getting hotter because he isn’t making any progress? “Warm” is putting it mildly. Carroll is off work on Wednesday.
“Yes, I do. When asked earlier this week if he thought he will coach the Seahawks the next season, Carroll responded, “I do.” “I do at this point.” Saying “at this point” undoubtedly increased conjecture. It is difficult to argue against the
Seahawks’ gradual slide downward throughout the previous ten seasons following their victory in Super Bowl XLVIII. Although Seattle has qualified for the postseason in seven of those seasons, it has only advanced past the Wild Card round four times, with its most recent appearance occurring in 2021.
