PHOENIX -- When Los Angeles Chargers defensive coordinator Gus Bradley was fired as the head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars, one of the people he sought guidance from was Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll.
Bradley had worked for three seasons as Carroll’s defensive coordinator in Seattle before taking the head coaching job with the Jaguars in 2013. Like Bradley, Carroll had been let go as a head coach earlier in his career, both with the New York Jets and New England Patriots.
