Pete Carroll out as Seahawks head coach after 14 seasons

The NFL coaching carousel experienced a shocking development on Wednesday.

Pete Carroll is out as head coach of the Seattle Seahawks after 14 seasons and will now become advisor in the organization, the team announced.

"After thoughtful meetings and careful consideration for the best interest of the franchise, we have amicably agreed with Pete Carroll that his role will evolve from Head Coach to remain with the organization as an advisor," Seahawks owner Jody Allen said in a statement.

Carroll, 72, was hired by the Seahawks in 2010. He had a 137-89-1 regular season record across 14 seasons with 10 playoff appearances and a Super Bowl XLVIII title.
