In 2010, the Seattle Seahawks hired Pete Carroll as their head coach and vice president of football operations. He was part of the hiring process for Seattle’s general manager John Schneider, and has had a hand in everything the Seahawks have done for nearly a decade and a half—including bringing home a Super Bowl championship in 2013. But in 2024, following a 9-8 playoff-less season, Schneider and Carroll mutually agreed that the coach would step away from his current roles and into an advisory position.
After losing to a Carroll-led Seahawks team in each of the past three seasons, the Detroit Lions are surely happy to see Seattle making a change.
