Seahawks' Pete Carroll has no hard feelings toward 49ers' Richard Sherman

RENTON, Wash. -- If Seahawks coach Pete Carroll was at all upset by the critical comments Richard Sherman made on his way out of Seattle, he didn't say so on Wednesday.

No hard feelings, according to Carroll.

"Sherm had to do what he had to do," Carroll said. "He had to change allegiance and get tuned into his new team, and whatever took place was OK. I didn't care."

With Sherman returning to CenturyLink Field Sunday for the first time as a member of the San Francisco 49ers, Carroll spent most of his weekly press conference fielding questions about the sometimes-tumultuous ending to the All-Pro cornerback's career in Seattle and his messy departure this past offseason.
