Seahawks coach Pete Carroll took to Twitter Sunday morning to refute speculation that he could consider retiring at the end of this season.
Jay Glazer of Fox Sports fueled the rumor by stating that: “It’s gonna be Pete’s decision whether or not he moves on. They could be in a rebuilding year here. But Pete may or may not actually retire.”
Countered Carroll on Twitter: “People talking about retirement… I ain’t old enough to think about retiring!”
Carroll is the oldest coach in the NFL at 66 (his birthday is Sept 15, 1951) but has given no hint of retiring, signing a new contract in July 2016 that takes him through the 2019 season and saying at the time he saw no end date to his career.
