Seahawks coach Pete Carroll has proven he is a winner in the Emerald City, taking his team to the Super Bowl twice during his time in Seattle. But how does Carroll stack up compared to other head coaches around the league?
CBS Sports’ Cody Benjamin evaluated all 32 head coaches in the NFL – old and new – to put together his 2022 head coach rankings. Carroll came in at No. 8 on his list.
“He’s not so unlike Mike Vrabel in terms of style – tough and old-school, but in a player-friendly way,” Benjamin writes. “He’s just done it longer and already reached the mountaintop. You worry about stubbornness here, especially as he looks to prove his run-first approach doesn’t need Russell Wilson to work.”

“But the guy’s been around for so long, with such a sway on team culture, that even a holey roster has yet to totally torpedo his record,” Benjamin continues. “The disappointing 2021 finish was his first losing season in 10 years.”
2022 will be a huge test for Carroll and his staff in the post-Wilson/Wagner era.
