The 2023 NFL season did not go as planned for the Seattle Seahawks. Although many did not have Super Bowl aspirations for this young roster, they were expected to take a step forward after a surprising 2022 season. Even though they finished with the same record as the previous season (9-8), the decisions that followed were extremely different. Despite the rumors heading into Week 18 of the 2023 season finale, not many expected Pete Carroll to step down from coaching. The 72-year-old was as energetic as ever this past season, showing no signs of age or retirement. However, Jody Allen and company decided to make a franchise-altering move when they ultimately fired Pete Carroll. In spite of the fact that the franchise's winningest head coach was continuing to stack winning seasons, the poor defensive play over recent years had many feeling this organization was stagnant. Could some of the outside noise have crept into this decision? Possibly. But, the result of what followed should have 12s excited about what's to come.
