Former Seahawks players share their appreciation for Pete Carroll

Pete Carroll Seahawks Hawks Golden Tate Jimmy Graham Jon Ryan Richard Sherman Russell Wilson

Wednesday was an emotional day for the Seattle Seahawks, their coaching staff, their players and their fans. In the most stunning development in franchise history, the team removed Pete Carroll as their head coach. Carroll will still be in the building, but things will never be quite the same without him calling the shots and whoever replaces him has a large pair of Monarchs to fill.

What set Carroll apart from just about every other football coach on the planet was his idea that it could be fun – and his players loved him for it. Since the news broke that Carroll is out as head coach, we haven’t heard from any current players, who may be stunned into silence. However, many of his former players have been singing his praises on social media.

Here’s how former Seahawks are reacting.
