Pete Carroll was very transparent about how his time as head coach of the Seattle Seahawks came to an end.

In an appearance on Seattle Sports 710 AM on Friday, Carroll described the meetings with Seahawks owner Jody Allens and others in upper management for the team that ultimately led to the end of his tenure as the team's coach.

Carroll said that management was offering "media opinions" and that was a key difference between the two sides.

"The difficult part is, if you guys could know, it's really hard because they're not football people," Carroll said, via ESPN's Brady Henderson.
