Adam Schefter reported Sunday Seattle is giving its coach a five-year extension. The contract will make him one of the highest-paid coaches in the league.

Per ESPN:
Carroll, who turned 69 in September, is the NFL’s oldest head coach, but few can match his energy and positivity. The Seahawks are right in the thick of the NFC West title hunt again this season, entering Sunday with a 6-1 record, and quarterback Russell Wilson playing at an MVP level.
Now in his 11th season with the Seahawks, Carroll is the winningest head coach in franchise history with a record of 106-60-1. Carroll has led Seattle to eight playoff appearances, four NFC West titles, two Super Bowl appearances and one Super Bowl victory.
