I wonder if it's age related? The 'hawks overachieved last year and maybe underachieved a bit this year. Tough division.

Maybe they are getting that dude from Tennessee. Low key also think Seattle is a great spot for Fields too.

A lot of people think Dan Quinn will be going back to Seattle.

Bombshell: Pete Carroll is out as #Seahawks coach, per sources.

Just saw it, the reason I stopped in. I hadn't even heard a whisper about him being removed.

Pete Carroll's retirement press conference was awesome. More teams should give an exiting coach a presser. It feels like the Packers really did McCarthy dirty a few years back. Pete Carroll seems like a genuinely good person. One of the few dudes to win a SB and an NCAA.

Pete Carroll was a damn cheat. He fled USC after getting them banned from bowls for a few years. He was a piece of shit with Seattle also. Good riddance.

I’m with Tex on this one. Pete Carroll cheated at USC and just before the university was about to get nailed, the rat jumped off the ship so he wouldn’t have to coach through the sanctions the NCAA dropped on the program.

He’s probably a role model for Jim Harbaugh.

It’s official, Bill Belichick out of New England.

Presser at Noon. Everyone is wondering if Bill will show any emotion - I doubt it.

PFT has all sorts of juicy speculation.

Saucy!

Pete is staying with the team, that is why he got a presser. The packers did McCarthy just fine. He was done. You feel he was done wrong because whined and cried that he was done wrong when he should have owned up to his failures and given a classy good bye like Pete did.

Jerry would never do Fat mike dirty like the Packers did!!

I heard Pete Carroll was retiring from coaching because he's 70, and taking on an advisory role with the Seahawks... so, not fired.

Belichick was a mild surprise. Based on the more recent rumblings, there was a chance he'd stay if he gave up the GM duties, and it sounded like he was open to it. BB is pretty old too and after 20 some years with NE probably is ready to be done. He'll be a first ballot HOF no matter what grudges anyone in the press might have with him.

Nick Saban retiring from Alabama was a bit of a surprise, but I think he's done too. When you're worshipped as a CFB HC no need for the NFL grind.

I have heard that a lot of CFB coaches are absolutely fed up with the NIL and the transfer portal stuff, so maybe some younger CFB coaches try to break into the NFL.

How many job openings were there last year? I can only think of DEN, CAR, IND ,HOU, and ARI (or was ARI the year before?), so it's a few more job openings than last year.
