After stepping down as head coach of the Seattle Seahawks, Pete Carroll took a subtle dig at the team’s owners, claiming they lacked football knowledge. The Seahawks missed out on the playoffs for the second year in a row, leading to Carroll’s departure after 14 years. Although he boasted an impressive record of 147-98, including a Super Bowl win in 2014, Carroll hinted at a disagreement over necessary changes to the team. He expressed his determination to fix the issues in a precise and specific manner, but acknowledged that the owners may not share his vision.
Carroll insinuated a power struggle within the Seahawks’ hierarchy and made a dig at the owners, led by Jody Allen – sister of the late former owner, Paul Allen. According to Carroll, it’s challenging to communicate with non-football individuals to delve into the nitty-gritty of the matter. Currently, Carroll holds the position of vice president of football operations in Seattle, but it’s uncertain if his comments will affect his role. Despite not ruling out coaching another team, the 72-year-old cannot fathom working for another team at the moment.
