- His career continues with a focus on education and potential coaching roles.
Former Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll, who will celebrate his 73rd birthday on September 15, is set to return to the University of Southern California (USC) this spring to teach a class. While details about the course remain undisclosed, Carroll expressed his enthusiasm for the opportunity during an interview on Sports Radio 93.3 KJR-FM. He also hinted at a potential return to coaching, stating he "could coach tomorrow," but clarified that he is not currently seeking a coaching position. This fall marks a significant change for Carroll, as it will be the first time since 2000 that he is not actively coaching football. After 14 successful seasons with the Seahawks, where he led the team to numerous playoff appearances and a Super Bowl victory, Carroll parted ways with the franchise in January. His tenure with the Seahawks solidified his legacy, making him the all-time leader in games coached and wins for the team. Before his time in the NFL, Carroll enjoyed a successful nine-year stint as head coach at USC, where he achieved a remarkable 97-19 record. However, his tenure was marred by sanctions that led to the vacating of the Trojans' 2004 national title due to violations involving player benefits. Despite his departure from the Seahawks, there are no indications that Carroll plans to formally retire from coaching, leaving the door open for future opportunities.
