Good stuff. Well deserved. Maybe one of these years he gets a chance at COY?

Great move by the Seahawks, lock down Pete Carroll for the next three years while they sort out their ownership issues

It is a crime that he is not considered for this year

Is he not being considered?

I'd find that pretty surprising. The team lost a fuck-ton of talent in the offseason, wasn't projected by many to win more than 8 games (CBS had us at like 4 or 5 or something) and the Seahawks have completely rebounded and played well.

Good news that he'll be around longer. I honestly thought he'd retire when he contract expired at the end of the 2019 season when his previous contract expired.

Technically, every coach is considered I suppose. I think the perception is that he doesn't have any kind of realistic chance. It seems like the guys who win this award are normally the up-and-comers....without going back and looking up all the prev winners.

I hear Pete is getting $11 million a year too. If true, where does that stack up with the rest of the league? I would fully be behind Pete being the highest paid coach in the NFL

You're probably right.

You would think that given how well the Seahawks have outperformed preseason expectations, overcame losing Richard Sherman, Sheldon Richardson, Cliff Avril, Michael Bennett, Kam Chancellor, Earl Thomas, K.J. Wright (for most of the season), Jimmy Graham, Luke Willson, Paul Richardson, and overcame all the offseason drama surrounding the tensions in the locker room, AND essentially replaced the entire coaching staff that Pete Carroll would be getting a lot more credit.

That's an extremely long sentence but I hope it at least somewhat makes sense. As I wrote that I thought to myself "does that sound coherent?" lol.

The 10 Highest-Paid Coaches in the NFL

He was previously making $9m a year.

Pete is going to be paid like the Top 2 Coach in the NFL, maybe even the top as there is some confusion on Belicheats pay saying it's between 10-12.5 million??

Like many of us said many weeks ago, Pete more than earned this with one of his greatest seasons coaching ever. The expectations were low this year with huge turnovers on the Staff and roster. All Pete did was improve on last seasons team with all the big names gone and even though the Defense isn't as good the offense is better with a beastly running game and for once a Oline that can runblock with the best of them. One day their Pass blocking will improve also, i have no doubts.

Pete in my eyes IS WITH OUT A DOUBT THE COACH OF THE YEAR!

PNW Coach of the Year "Pete Carroll" as voted on by the best fan base in the NFL! Go Hawks!

 

[Anointed One]

Well deserved... Ironically ends in 2021 at the same time the CBA ends...

 

[jerseyhawksfan79]

Well deserved and glad he's on our sidelines for several more years.

 

[flyerhawk]

Easy decision to extend him until he wants to retire. One could argue that he should have fired Tom Cable a few years ago but that is revisionist history.

 

[boogiewithstu2007]

Smart move, things are on the up swing, keep it going ....

I dont know about that JMR. COY is usually reserved for successful coaches.

[SonnyCID]

Any writer that had the Seahawks going 4-12 in the preseason should be forced to vote Pete COY.

Yeah, you nailed it. My favorite is that he can't win because his team is too good (not necessarily an argument for this year but years past)….and you have to think, "well how the hell did it get that way??"

I'm just glad that it seems he's finally being recognized as one of the best coaches even if he won't win the award.
