So why didn't the Seahawks move on from Carroll? Moves makes more sense with him gone. 

I'm guessing he will retire soon.  Maybe after this season.

With the collateral today and the number of teams that won’t need a coach next year they probably were planning on Pete retiring in 2022 and going for the 2023 cycle.

Reports indicated it was a possibility though the general thought was that he'd be allowed to retire.

Isn’t Pete like 70? Retirement is a pretty safe assessment i think.

He needs to.

If I was him I would. Like now. They're doing a total teardown. What does a 70 year old want with that? Unless they're planning on some addition big moves to bring in talent with all that capital they got from dealing Wilson. Watson is really the only thing that makes sense.

He's too old for a rebuild.  Let him name a successor and throw him a retirement party.

Seattle had a great run

Wish we could get one of those.

I would take a series of losing seasons if it meant having what they did for the last decade.

He’ll go to a contender but def would be nice to have him and Shaq for a year

Wow those are some huge moves.

I don't really think Carrol has been putting his best stuff out there for the last few years but I don't get him doing moves this big while running full speed at a complete rebuild competing for a top 5 pick just to retire after year 1. I also don't get them going QB needy this year of all years. Weird moves unless Carrol wants to do a giant rebuild or has some evil plan in mind to upgrade what he just got rid of this year (which I absolutly belive he can't do).

Carroll is just simply overrated.  He would have been fired years ago if Russell Wilson wasn't drafted by the Seahawks.  They were ready to hand the keys to the franchise to Matt Flynn in 2012.

He had a great thing going until he forced it in the SB and has been going down hill since. He has skills, even with bad drafting and poor trades he still got into the playoffs until last year. I don't think he is close to BB and he sure did luck in plenty but he was a good coach for a nice window.

I loved to beat the guy and I hated to lose to his teams until 2016 when it stopped mattering.
