And? Virtually all of those wins came close to a decade ago at this point. Carroll is now 3-6 since his last post Super Bowl run in the playoffs. The last victory was against a 40 year old Luke McCown led Eagles team because Wentz got injured at the beginning of the game. That is a single playoff win in 6 years against a backup QB.
As I mentioned it is hard to win in the NFL and even more so in the playoffs. There are very few coaches that have acquired the success you seem to think PC should obtain every season.
The frustrating thing is I keep seeing the same mistakes made, year after year. It's like groundhogs day at this point. People just keep saying "give Pete time, he'll get us there". At this point we've been "re-tooling" the defense since 2017. Sure, Carroll might give you winning seasons, but let me tell you -- he's never going to get us to the big game again.
Yes, the same mistakes that impacts every team in the NFL. Will he get us back to the Superbowl? Maybe....maybe not. The fact that you claim it is an absolute that he won't is nothing more than some extreme speculation and unrealistic bias.
He's going to be 72 next season, one year removed from the oldest coach to ever coach the game. How much longer can he realistically keep hitting the road? How much longer can he manage all aspects of the team like he's been doing? At this point we're hitting dimensioning returns with Carroll.
So you are an expert of human age related phycologists? Where did you get your degree? What makes you think PC is losing his mental abilities? No player has made that claim. No coach has made that claim. No pundit has made that claim. If fact, it you actually listen to the people to know and have contact with PC, they claim just the opposite. A majority of players love playing for him. Coaches seem to hold him in very high regards. Pundits....well they're pundits, but many still say PC is one of the best coaches in the league.
At some point we have to ask why this keeps happening. You can only point to one person because he has total control of the franchise. For the record, I think he can be successful under the right circumstances but I think it's time he got the Holmgren treatment. Have his authority over Schneider stripped, force him to fire his defensive coordinator and hire an established DC out of a group of candidates.
I have listened to many Seahawk players, past and present. I have listened to many people that are or have been a part of the Seahawk organization. Not a single one has said that PC exerts any authority over JS. In fact, the gist seems to be that they work well together and are more often in agreement than not. Did you listen to the Doug Baldwin interview? How about interviews with ANY players that have worked with PC and JS? You have seemed to have developed your own vision as to the team dynamics....and nothing even close to reality.
(EDIT: BTW, Holmgren only relinquished GM duties to focus more on coaching. He still was very much involved in personnel decisions)
The Seahawks at this point are just spinning their wheels. Each season feels like a derivative of the next. The Seahawks have not really been a legitimate contender since 2014 under Carroll.
And who would you suggest that would be a
guaranteed improvement over PC? You can't name anybody because you don't know. You have built your unrealistic expectations and are holding onto them very firmly. The Seahawks out performed the expectations of everybody this season and you still seem to have expected them to go deep in the playoffs and maybe even win the Superbowl. Sure the team may have been "underperforming" the last few seasons. Teams tend to do that when 2-3 players eat up a bulk of your salary cap. At this point, I would expect the Seahawks to be decent competitors next season and certainly the season after next. If not, then maybe I will be moving into your camp. However, this season, they "over performed" and I don't think it is a good idea to throw the baby out with the bathwater (to use an old phrase). However, to claim as an absolute that PC will never make the Superbowl again is ridiculous rhetoric that makes it hard to take you seriously. It is as ridiculous as me saying the Seahawks will never win a Superbowl again without PC.
