Pete Carroll Says He Fought For His Job, Seems To Not Want To Leave Seahawks | Pat McAfee Reacts

[@andrewguenther6294]

So dope that Bobby Wagner hopped on the show!

[@Tony_Kaku]

A shame that people remember Pete for the 1 yard play but forget that he built the Legendary defense (300+ roster moves in 1 year) that destroyed a historic offense the year before.

[@coleeto2]

Pete took the blame for that, but we will never truly know if Russ switched out of a run play.

This is bittersweet for me as a seahawks fan. On one hand, i do think Pete had reached a point of stagnation and (at least this year) had lost the team. But on the other hand, ill never forget what hes done for this franchise.

[@scottinnh88]

That’s how I feel as a Pats fan I’ll always be great full for what Belichick has done for this franchise this area and for New England and Boston in general. People say it was all Tom Brady but all coaches need great players to build a dynasty. Coaches can’t do it on their own. Can Andy Reid win games with Mahones? Absolutely not right.

[@scottsodyssey2485]

No he wouldn't. That SB was nine years ago, it holds no bearing on anything today. It was just time to move on. Its been time. Pete should have been let go when they traded Russ, start fresh. Only the GM didn't have the power to do so and the owner stayed hands off. Well this time Jody Allen stepped in and did her job. The only mistake is keeping him in the building, never been a big fan of that. Look how Bruce Arians behaved in Tampa the year after he "stepped down". He was in the news more than players, it was a circus.

Massive props to Pete and the way he handled it. I was tired of having a middling team that just couldn't get over the hump and unfortunately, it had to do with Pete at least to some extent with the coordinators he brought in. I hope he doesn't end up coaching for another team and he stays in the area and helps John to keep building this thing up. At the same time, if he still has that itch, I get it. Love Pete and man, that press conference had me emotional for sure!!!

[@mukkerman001]

Pete loves “his” team, it seems he was more worried about his staff , than his coaching career. I think he wants to stick around to help the transition. I can’t see him not carrying on with the Seahawks in some capacity, he loves being around the alumni. Big loss for this Seahawks fan 💔

[@plaubelmakina8916]

The calibre of coaches leaving organizations in the NFL is stunning. I do not remember another year like this. How many more will we see after the playoffs? If the Steelers lose the wildcard game will Tomlin be next?

[@Yuniverse7]

yes, usually there would be several, but mostly because they were that bad. Pete Carroll, Bill Belichick, and Vrabel are the exceptions for sure. (yes none of these three made to the playoffs this year, but their resume speaks for themselves)

[@brookeb452]

From what’s been reported, which was right after Christmas, Tomlin is expected back next season and is already involved in making roster moves and looking for an OC and they’d like to extend his contract that currently runs through 2024. Steelers have that strong reputation for loyalty, even when it’s been detrimental at times(not saying that’s the case with Tomlin). I think they realize that making Tomlin a scapegoat really wouldn’t fix their issues and they really don’t lie with him.. and unlike the titans with Vrabel. Plus they’re in the playoffs despite all the problems they’re going through. Ofc that things can always change and it’s not been said officially.

[@jpete3027666]

Mike McCarthy maybe if the Cowboys have an early exit or don’t at least make it to the NFCCG?

[@biggtastee2401]

Most likely. I think Andy Reid will leave/retire and McCarthy is definitely done in Dallas if they don't make the SB. JJ has no patience.

That’s literally just something he’d use to fire up the team after a comeback victory. People who think he legitimately believed that they didn’t need to have a good start to the game are laughably mislead by a MOMENT not a philosophy.

[@IntraVortex]

The Pittsburg loss at home sealed the deal. We gave up 245 rushing yards consistent with our rank of 30th against the rush. Additionally, we didn't run the ball with perhaps the best running back in the game in Kenneth Walker III ranking near the bottom in run/pass imbalance. No Harbaugh!!! No Quinn!!!!

[@jeffeyjeffey8]

Pete Carroll and not running the ball seems to be a major flaw

He had final say in majority of the roster until 2020ish when John drafted what we all called a great 2 drafts so far. Look at how we showed up to face the Steelers in Seattle…terrible decision making and terrible energy from the players. That’s coaching. Go Hawks.

Pete was definitely better at late round draft picks at the beginning of his career. Kam and Sherm were 5th rounders, Baldwin was undrafted. Riq Woolen was a 5th rounder but he isn’t a superstar.

[@Ryan-mq2mi]

Do you still feel this way? I’m not sure if he’s coaching. I did a quick Google search and didn’t see anything. My guess is this was either a mutiny by the players or there is something to consider that people really have it and that is that Pete Carroll is not only the oldest coach in the league, but he’s been the oldest coach in the league for quite a few years now. he doesn’t look at, he’s full of energy, but we’re dealing with different kids in a different game and who knows how long Pete has left anyway. So they may have been thinking that and thought they needed to inject some youth, maybe someone is not as hard on the kids.

[@MegaTriumph1]

Pete moving at lightning speed is missing the finer points of the game. So he needs to slow his world down and pay attention to detail. Like your defense wasn't very good and your offense wasn't very good. Things like that. Jamal wasn't a good trade. Letting Ryan Neal go was not a good idea. etc.

[@Ki11Th3mA11Kid]

Jamal Adam's trade wasn't on Pete thats on John Shnider 100% as the GM John is the one who makes all the roster moves, trades and such. And probably 75% of the draft is his picks based on his research and scouting. Pete's Job is to COACH and that's both the players. And the staff/other coaches under him who he also needs to coach up. He's only able to work with what he's given in that aspect. Though I'm sure his input and analysis and voice was definitely involved in all matters from trades to drafts and free agency but at the end of the day those decisions are done by John Shnider 🤷 And yes the Adam's trade was atrocious seeing how its played out and Adam's couldn't stay healthy if his ass lived in a unbreakable titanium bubble his whole life lmao. Dude would find a way to injure himself and become unavailable 75% of the season 💀💀💀 Adam's is legit talented. But if he's NEVER on the field then it completely nullifying that aspect. Because the best Ability is... you guessed it AVAILABILITY 🎉. Which Adam's is only good for 4 games a year lmao. But all the good draft picks. Free agency pick ups. Russell Wilson trade and Leonard Williams trade is from John who might actually be the best GM in the NFL to be completely honest 😅 if not that then a top 5 without a doubt. His draft classes on 2011, 2012, 2021, 2022 were all PHENOMENAL 💯🤯. Stacked with HOF players ane late round diamond in the roughs like Richard Sherman, Kam Chancellor, Golden Tate, Doug Baldwin, Tyler Lockett, Russell Wilson, Woolen, Mafe, Bobby Wagner and others who've played significant roles in our successful decade.

[@Ki11Th3mA11Kid]

As far as letting Ryan Neal go that was fine. Especially when we brought in Julian Love as a replacement got pro bowl nominations this year and has been a BALLER especially the last couple weeks with the game sealing INT's and Pass Deflections he's made.

[@TheRandalHandle]

As a Seattle fan, this is a bad move, unless Seattle secretly has an All-Star candidate waiting in the wings. The defense has been bad for the last couple years and it seems like Pete does not like to fire coordinators. The current DC probably should never have been hired in the first place and he definitely should have been replaced by now. This season was a defensive disaster with some serious injuries on both sides of the ball. I do not understand the move or the timing. These are some really big shoes to fill and Pete Carroll is hands down the greatest coach in Seattle sports history, not just football.

So, I looked at a sheet that showed the Seahawks cap space (1.2m) the players who are due big money and what the savings could be if cut pre-June 1st; How realistic is this scenario - the team cuts Diggs, Adams, Lockett, Dissly, (try to restructure) Geno's contract (or release him if he refuses), cut Okada, O'Connell, Whitaker, Bumphus, Morris, Thomas, sign Leonard Williams and Jarran Reed, keep an eye on the Justin Jefferson situation and potentially pursue him in FA and draft somebody (like Nix or Penix) giving that QB an arsenal of talent with Metcalf, JSN, Jefferson, Walker, Charbonnet.. I know the off-season is heartbreaking and these players I mentioned are more than adored and appreciated in Seattle, but if the Seahawks are legitimately in a new era - I honestly think this could really shake the NFC West (as well as) the NFC as a whole. That offense would be high octane and exciting to watch (depending which direction we go with coaches). As for defense, they have two 3rd round picks and a 4th they could address in the draft or see who is available in FA. I honestly feel like the Seahawks are a contender and are just missing a few pieces and feel like this could be what propels them to elite status.

The guy who beat him lost his job this week as well, this decision had nothing to do with that distant past

[@greyhamlogan2255]

Seahawks should have gone back to back, but SB49 was their last appearance. The Patriots, however, won 4 more. Getting rid of Brady and the demise of the Patriots was their coaches' downfall.

[@douglasthompson9482]

I love Pete. Changes were needed for sure but I don’t think that a head coach replacement was the answer. I suggest that they hire him back and focus on their defensive problems among some others.

[@independent7074]

Great guy. But he had nothing to add or change since the SB.

[@WAFishQuest]

Greetings humans! I come from a dimension where everyone is some kind of wood product. Our Pete Carrol equivalent is named Pete Barrel. He was the architect of The famous legion of brooms!

[@Pgh_heather_412]

does the pete carroll situation let him collect his salary in seattle but still be able to walk away if he accepts a coaching offer? or would seattle block him?

[@maydayjj]

Pete Caroll to NE!

[@user-qr8ki8ue4i]

That would be amusing, actually.

i have to wonder if colts and texans along with bengals quick turnaroundsa have pushed these teams to fire their headcoaches

Why are AJ's eyes wider than his ears? 🤣😂🤣😂

If they make the playoffs, he’s still the coach

[@brandonyoung8709]

Coach Pagano, Pete Carroll was higher (also Vice President of football ops) in the organization than John Schneider. John would not be in on the decision to let coach go.

[@Ryan-mq2mi]

I love Pete Carroll. I have to wonder if it’s because of his age, though. People don’t really realize this because he carries himself well, but Pete Carroll has been the oldest coach in the league for many years now. Most people didn’t even realize he’s the oldest coach let alone for quite a while now, ultimately though I think it’s just because it’s a dirty business. If you look at what happened to Bill Belichick, I think it’s foolish to move on from proving coaches or even players after one or two bad years. Pete Carroll didn’t even really have a bad year considering you had to get rid of Russell Wilson, and he made the playoffs with, a career back up quarterback that was a starter for the Jets for a little while years ago. I would say that’s a success. It’s also more than possible that players we’re starting to mutiny. It’s a weird time we live in where we raised kids pretty badly to be honest. Spoiled, soft, untested, not used to any authority from parents or teachers or coaches, or anyone else, and it’s pretty hard to deal with. They have no idea what it’s like outside the United States , they are talking about mental health as far as depression and anxiety when they don’t feel good, wanting time off, etc. But who knows what the deal is. It’s clearly also just a dirty business. I think fans need to vote with their feet a little more when it comes to this kind of stuff. Because ultimately that’s what will drive the decision making.

Arron was on earlier today lol😂

[@DJPrince2032]

If I was a team in the hunt for a head coach, I would be calling Bill and Pete to try and hire them as my head coach. Especially if I might have a team that might be ready to go (heres looking at you Chargers).

[@luisvillasenor6310]

That was not the Brad Stevens route

[@auzieten]

Pete wasn't just competing for himself, he was competing for his staff who are also affected. That's why he said WE didn't just want to be coach. Pete isn't a selfish guy, he looks out for his people.

[@tits279]

Pretty selfish to try and make wilson the super bowl hero instead of just giving it to lynch

[@auzieten]

@@tits279 Huh? That doesn't even make sense.

[@tits279]

@@auzieten is it not selfish to put one player ahead of the rest if the team with one of if not the worst coaching decision ever?

[@auzieten]

@tits279 No.. it's literally not what selfish means. This isn't a complicated concept. Selfish is looking out only for your own self interest, not the interest of someone else (i.e. Wilson). And also, that's not even what happened so it's an irrelevant point.

[@tits279]

@@auzieten you can be selfish in favour of those you like more then others like giving Wilson his own office for years and destroying the team unity. And that's exactly what happened the dumbest decision in coaching history made by pete caroll

[@findingyourselfoutdoors83]

I just don't see a lot of upside when it comes to letting Pete go and finding a new coach. Yeah Pete has struggled to beat the 49ers and Rams lately but, he also is starting fresh after the Russ trade. When Mike Holmgren retired we got Jim Mora, that went well if you all remember. Hopefully I am proven wrong; Pete is just so hard to replace.

[@zachntheboxwhite6254]

the pat mcafee show is so awesome lemme just dial someone up on video call no worries and so legit best show on anywhere , pete carroll was a awesome coach for seattle the seahawks will be ok but definately not the same

[@kelreneegranger]

i want harbaugh, but i would take pete too. (as a chargers fan)
