In a shocking move, Pete Carroll steps down as Seahawks head coach.
The Seattle Seahawks parted ways with Pete Carroll on Wednesday after nearly 15 years as head coach.
Team owner Jody Allen released a statement announcing that Carroll was not fired, but that his role was "evolving" from head coach to consultant.
In an emotional press conference following the announcement, Carroll told reporters Wednesday that it was "always fun," praising the players he coached.
He said his best moment as Seahawks coach was seeing his wife, Glenna, at the New Jersey victory after the team defeated the Denver Broncos in 2014.
Seattle hired Carroll from his USC in 2010 and the most successful era in Seahawks history began.
Two years after Carroll, then 34, took over the franchise, the Seahawks signed quarterback Russell Wilson, and the good times really began.
Two years later, Carroll and Wilson led the team to its first Super Bowl victory and retained the Lombardi Trophy.
Wilson was traded to the Broncos before the 2022 season, but Carroll kept his job (at the time).
