Arr, mateys! The Super Bowl-conquering captain, Pete Carroll, didst astound us with his mighty throwing arm whilst takin' the place of a quarterback at a jolly ol' Seahawks practice. Aye, he be a true jack of all trades!
Longtime Seattle Seahawks head coach, Pete Carroll, who is approaching his 72nd birthday, has surprised many by leading the team to a playoff berth last season. Despite being the oldest coach in the NFL, Carroll has maintained his physical fitness and recently showcased his throwing skills during a team practice. The Seahawks' defense did not put up much of a challenge against Carroll, but he displayed an impressive performance on the field. The team even jokingly suggested that Carroll should star in a quarterback documentary on Netflix.Carroll's football journey began in high school and continued at the University of the Pacific, where he played safety before transitioning into coaching. With nearly 50 years of coaching experience, including leading the USC Trojans to two national championships, Carroll took over as the Seahawks' head coach in 2010.
However, not everyone was impressed with Carroll's temporary quarterback role. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and celebrities Snoop Dogg and Will Ferrell expressed their concerns about Carroll's treatment of his players, jokingly criticizing his passes and runs during practice.
When the regular season begins, the Seahawks will continue to rely on Geno Smith as their quarterback, as he had a successful season in 2022, earning the AP Comeback Player of the Year honors and his first Pro Bowl selection. The team recently rewarded Smith with a three-year contract extension.
Overall, Carroll's age has not hindered his ability to lead the Seahawks, and his playful display on the field adds to his legacy as a coach with a youthful spirit.
