In the aftermath of Black Wednesday, which saw the ousting of Darrell Bevell and Tom Cable — with other prominent heads reputed to be rolling soon — Seahawks coach Pete Carroll will no doubt tell you it’s all in the name of always competing.
That’s in his football DNA, no doubt. But it also has the markings of a guy who may be hearing his biological clock ticking, at least as it pertains to coaching.
Carroll will turn 67 during the first month of next season. He has two years left on the three-year extension he agreed to prior to the 2016 season, kicking in this past year and lasting through the 2019 season.
