Don’t ever leave. Always come, Pete. (Sorry.)
Our selfish wishes notwithstanding, Circle of Life sits atop the standings, tied with Father Time — both undefeated. Peter Clay Carroll will grow old, someday (?). He’ll move on, someday (?).
Carroll is 45 55 65, in human years. No coach in the NFL is older, in human years. But there’s something ageless about the man who leads the Seattle Seahawks. Something that defies our typical expectations of youth and old age.
What he coaches another decade? Marv Levy was 68 when his Buffalo Bills made the Super Bowl for the last time; he stayed on a while longer and went 26-22 in three seasons after turning 70.
