Carroll is the most successful coach in Seahawks history, owning a 137-89-1 record for a .606 winning percentage over 14 seasons. He led Seattle to its only Super Bowl championship at the end of the 2013 season, where the Seahawks beat the Denver Broncos 43-8.
Under Carroll, the Seahawks made the playoffs 10 times, but they have missed the postseason in two of the last three years. Seattle finished the 2023 season with a 9-8 record for the second year in a row but fell short of a playoff berth, unlike in 2022.
