12s have been on a good ride since Pete Carroll became the coach of the Seahawks in 2010. In Carroll’s 10 seasons in Seattle, his teams have gone 100-59-1, won another 10 playoff games, been to the Super Bowl twice and won a championship in 2013. Things could be worse. Seattle has the fourth-most wins in the NFL over the last decade.
This being the NFL, though, things can change suddenly. The Falcons, for instance, were in the Super Bowl a few years ago, should have won it, and then had a losing record in 2019. San Francisco went 4-12 in 2018 and made it to the Super Bowl this past season.
