RENTON, Wash. – With Pete Carroll stepping aside as head coach of the Seattle Seahawks, the team will embark on the search for a new coach for the first time since 2010.
General manager John Schneider will be tasked with finding Carroll’s replacement as he takes full control of the front office after working in tandem with Carroll for the last 14 seasons.
NFL, his teams have always had strong defensive units as well.
– University of Washington head coach Kalen DeBoer
If the National Championship winning head coach wouldn’t have any interest in the job, perhaps the runner-up head coach would.
DeBoer has had two brilliant seasons as head coach of the Washington Huskies since taking over the job in 2022. DeBoer had led UW to a 25-3 record over that span as Washington won the final Pac-12 Championship in December before advancing to face Harbaugh’s Michigan team in the title game.
DeBoer may not want to leave Washington or move to the professional game, but given his track record of success and strong offensive background, he’d be a compelling candidate for the Seahawks. And if he did make the jump, maybe he could continue coaching Michael Penix Jr. at the next level as well.
