With Russell Wilson gone the team is focused on building toward the future this season. Pete Carroll has been the Head Coach of the team since 2010 and he likely has more days behind him than ahead of him as a Head Coach. He will overseas this rebuild for now and help set up the future of the franchise. For now, though he needs to focus on recovering from COVID and returning to training camp healthy.

The Seattle Seahawks have won a Super Bowl under the leadership of Head Coach Pete Carroll and while they may not do that again, he will forever be cemented in the history books of the franchise. A future Seahawks Ring of Honor and NFL Hall of Fame Inductee, Carroll is one of the best Head Coaches of his era. We here at Def Pen Sports wish him the best in his recovery from COVID and hope to see him return to training camp quickly.
