Unfortunately, the head coach gives his player an opportunity by leaving the Seattle Seahawks due to the embarrassment he brought to the team.

Regretfully, because of the shame he caused the team, the head coach gives his player a chance to leave the Seattle Seahawks.

The 72-year-old had been in the role since 2010, but on Wednesday, the Seahawks said in a statement that he would “remain with the organization as an advisor” in addition to his “role evolving from head coach.”

In the 2013 season, Carroll led the team to their lone Super Bowl victory.

After the club was eliminated from the NFL playoffs, they decided to take on an advisory role.

Carroll’s accomplishments were acknowledged by Seahawks chair Jody Allen in a statement, which also stated: “His leadership skills and ability to create a championship culture will remain vital components of our organization’s progress ahead.”

During an emotional goodbye press conference on Wednesday, Carroll stated he had battled to continue as coach into the upcoming season.

“I competed pretty hard to be the coach, just so you know,” he stated.

“I simply wanted to make sure that I advocated for all of our coaches, players, and accomplishments. Not just so we could remain the coach, but also so we could have a chance to succeed and maintain the organization. That was my reason for fighting.”

In front of the staff, assistant coaches, and several current players, Carroll spoke for about thirty minutes about his record-breaking career while shedding tears and laughing.

“I’m happy that this run has occurred. I truly am,” he continued.

“This level of consistency that we’ve demonstrated is such that it makes you proud.”

Carroll won two NFC titles, had a winning record in 11 of his 14 seasons, and led Seattle to a historic Super Bowl victory in his fourth season as head coach.

His record stands as the highest in Seahawks franchise history, with 137 wins and a.606 win percentage.

Seattle defeated Arizona 21-20 on Sunday to wrap up the regular season. With Carroll in control, the Seahawks had an opportunity to make the playoffs for the eleventh time going into the last two weeks of the regular season, but a defeat to Pittsburgh in Week 17 left Seattle in need of assistance elsewhere, which it was unable to obtain to end the season.

Late in the fourth quarter, wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba of the Seattle Seahawks scored a 29-yard touchdown to secure the team’s victory over the Philadelphia Eagles.
With a 137-89-1 record and 10 postseason appearances at the end of his tenure. Overall in the postseason, he was 10-9.

In his eighteen years as head coach of the New York Jets (1994), New England Patriots (1997–99), and Seahawks, Carroll is 170-120-1 overall.

On Monday, he had denied reports that he was retiring.

“I’m not exhausted. I’m not worn out. Carroll was the oldest head coach in the NFL. “I’m not any of that stuff,” he declared. “I must perform better, we must improve as a coaching team, and I must assist my coaches more.”
