It’s no secret the culture built by Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll is one that many players strive to be a part of.
Players who sign with Seattle or get traded often revel in the team’s competitiveness in every aspect of training, but also the fun-loving, good-naturedness of it all.
That is why it shouldn’t be a surprise that a poll of 32 Pro Bowl players, asking them which coach they’d most prefer to play for, resulted in Carroll in a tie with Andy Reid of the Chiefs for the most responses, at four each.
Carroll has coached 14 NFL seasons, the last 10 with the Seahawks, and has gone 133-90-1 with 10 playoff appearances, two Super Bowl showings and one victory with Seattle in 2014.
Seattle also showed up with four votes for the best NFL city to travel to, tying with Miami for second place behind Los Angeles.
The combination of love for coach Carroll and the city of Seattle is enticing, considering the quality of player at the Pro Bowl and the team’s expected free agent binge this offseason.
The Seahawks have plenty of holes to fill on the offense and defense heading into the 2020 season – perhaps they’ll be able to woo a Pro Bowl player to the Emerald City.
