This news comes as a massive surprise for several reasons. One, Carroll is widely regarded as one of the best head coaches in the game — having led Seattle to 11 winning seasons in his 14-year tenure.

Secondly, Carroll himself said after Sunday’s Week 18 game against the Arizona Cardinals that he expected to return as head coach in 2024.
