Seattle Seahawks are staying committed to head coach Pete Carroll for the foreseeable future. According to multiple reports, Seahawks gave Carroll a five-year extension that runs through the 2025 NFL season.

While the numbers remain under wraps, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that Carroll became “one of, if not the, highest-paid head coach” in the league.

While Seahawks didn’t publicly announce the extension, Carroll acknowledged his new deal during a chat with reporters ahead of Week 9 game against Buffalo Bills on Sunday. According to the 69-year-old head coach, the deal was in the works for a long time, but both parties wanted to keep the negotiations under wraps. 

“For a gesture like this from Jody Allen and the organization and all, and then, at a time when everybody’s suffering and struggling and all that,” said Carroll. “It was something that has been in the works for a long time. I’m talking about way before all the issues that have happened, and so it finally came together. “

The new contract comes as a reward for Pete Carroll and the big job he has done to keep Seattle Seahawks as contenders. Despite losing impactful players almost every season and having little continuity besides quarterback Russell Wilson, Carroll still managed to put Seattle in a position to win games and compete on the highest level.

Carroll joined the Seahawks organization in 2010 and has since become the franchise’s winningest head coach with 106-61-1. During his tenure, Seattle missed out on playoffs just twice while winning one Super Bowl and playing in another one.

Seattle Seahawks decided to reward their head coach Pete Carroll with a new deal after the team managed to clinch the wild-card berth with an impressive 38-31 win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. Carroll, whose old deal was expiring after the 2019 season, will now stay with the franchise through 2021.

“This will continue the championship culture that we have created in Seattle,” Jody Allen, the team’s chair and trustee of the Paul G. Allen Trust, said in a statement.

Since joining the Seattle Seahawks from USC in 2010, Pete Carroll has led the team to seven playoff appearances in nine seasons while winning the Super Bowl after the 2013 season and making another Super Bowl trip the following year. Earlier in 2018, Carroll became the coach with most wins in the franchise’s history.

“The organization has been exceedingly good to me throughout the whole time we’ve been here, and they’ve continued to take that position, and I couldn’t be happier,” – said the 67-year-old coach after inking the deal.

“So grateful to Jody and the organization,” – he added. “I love this team and couldn’t be more proud to represent the 12s.“

While Seattle had a successful year so far, few could have predicted that back in the offseason. The team decided to make several significant roster changes including moving on from legends like Richard Sherman and Michael Bennett.  Pete Carroll also fired his defensive and offensive coordinators among other coaching changes.

Then after the Seahawks started the season 0-2, speculations started circling that Carroll might decide to retire after this season and leave the rebuilding process to someone else. But the team bounced back with nine wins in 14 games and their future now seems bright.
