The Seattle Seahawks will be looking at coaching candidates after deciding to move on from Pete Carroll as the franchise’s head coach after 14 years, sliding him into an advisory role.

Carroll went 137-89-1 during his tenure in Seattle, winning five NFC West titles, 10 playoff games and sending his team to two Super Bowl appearances, crescendoing with a championship title in 2013.

In a Sugar Bowl that came down to the very final second, it was the No. 2 UW Huskies that prevailed in the College Football Playoff semifinal over No. 3 Texas to clinch a spot to play for the national championship.

According to Yahoo Sports’ college football writer Ross Dellenger, no matter who wins next Monday in Houston – UW or No. 1 Michigan – this will be just the fourth time since 2000 that the championship is won by a team that didn’t sign a top-five recruiting class in the preceding four years.

Following the Seattle Seahawks’ painful 28-16 loss to the divisional rival San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, Seattle Sports’ Bump and Stacy were hard-pressed to find many positives from the offense.

As the finalists for the 2023 Heisman Trophy are set to be revealed during pregame for Monday Night Football, former UW Huskies quarterback Damon Huard told his brother Brock on Seattle Sports that he believes Washington gunslinger Michael Penix Jr. should be alone at the top of the list.

Despite Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith returning late in the fourth quarter from an arm injury to set a potential game-winning field goal attempt, the Los Angeles Rams defended home turf for a 17-16 divisional victory Sunday, sweeping the season series in the process.

The Seahawks have now lost two of their last three after winning five of the previous six, blowing a 13-point lead Sunday and failing to score more than seven points in a half for the eighth time this season.

As Boye Mafe pinned Sam Howell to Lumen Field’s turf to start the second half, a 25-year-old Seattle Seahawks franchise record changed hands in the process.

Mafe became the first Seattle Seahawk to sack a quarterback in seven consecutive games, breaking defensive end Michael Sinclair’s six-game record that stretched from the end of the 1997 season into the 1998 season.

The No. 5 UW Huskies outdueled USC 52-42 in what developed into a thrilling quarterback display Saturday night, totaling nearly 600 passing yards and five touchdowns between two potential first-round NFL Draft prospects: USC’s Caleb Williams and Washington’s Michael Penix Jr.

UW’s real hero was in the backfield, though, with junior running back Dillon Johnson rushing for 256 yards on nearly 10 yards per carry, scoring four touchdowns in the process. It was the first time Johnson rushed for more than 100 yards in any game in his four seasons of college football.

The big news with the Seattle Seahawks right now may be Monday’s trade for defensive lineman Leonard Williams, but the team provided plenty of reason for excitement the day before.

Adorning the franchise’s vintage throwbacks, the Seahawks stunned the visiting Cleveland Browns 24-20 on Sunday after rookie Jaxon Smith-Njigba scored a go-ahead touchdown – the team’s first points since the opening quarter – with just 38 seconds remaining.

Much like when Pete Carroll first took over the Seattle Seahawks in 2010, the defense has mutated from allowing a pedestrian 23.6 points per game last year into a borderline top-10 unit shepherded by rookie phenom Devon Witherspoon, stalwart defender Bobby Wagner and a pass-rush rotation where seven different players have multiple sacks through six games.

During Monday’s Pete Carroll Show on Seattle Sports, the Seattle Seahawks head coach spoke about how a defense full of young players is growing under the mentorship of legendary veteran linebacker Bobby Wagner.

During Monday’s Pete Carroll Show on Seattle Sports, the Seattle Seahawks head coach spoke about how a defense full of young players is growing under the mentorship of legendary veteran linebacker Bobby Wagner.

One young player who’s proving that is rookie cornerback Devon Witherspoon, who keeps making his presence felt.

Jessica Campbell, the first woman to become a full-time coach in the American Hockey League, served as a coach for the Seattle Kraken in a preseason game against the Calgary Flames at Climate Pledge Arena on Monday, capping off a week of historic firsts for women in the NHL.

After finishing last year with the eighth-worst scoring defense in the league, the Seattle Seahawks used both the draft and free agency to shore up its defensive struggles, including bringing in veteran defensive end Mario Edwards Jr. to stifle opposing rushing attacks.

For the 29-year-old former second-round pick, the decision to come to Seattle was too easy.

After the Seattle Seahawks used the fifth overall pick on a cornerback – Illinois’ Devon Witherspoon – the team’s secondary has become the headliners of the defense throughout training camp. But for Seattle Sports’ Michael Bumpus, the Seahawks’ deepest position might be the plethora of edge rushers at the coaching staff’s disposal.

Former UCLA wide receiver Jake Bobo is hoping to become the latest undrafted success story for Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider and coach Pete Carroll as he battles for one of the remaining 53 roster spots.

K.J. Wright, who played linebacker with the Seahawks for 10 of his 11 seasons in the NFL, can see why Bobo has been grabbing attention with his play in the preseason.

After trailing Chicago 3-1 for eight innings, the Mariners rattled off three runs to capture Seattle’s first lead of the game in a desperate attempt to keep its eight-game win streak alive before eventually falling to the White Sox 5-4 in extra innings.

Eugenio Suarez hit a one-out center field single that brought in the tying and go-ahead runs from J.P. Crawford and Cal Raleigh after Julio Rodriguez was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded.

The Seattle Kraken travel back to Dallas to take on the Stars in Game 5 after their second-round series evened out Tuesday to 2-2 with a 6-3 loss – tied for the most goals allowed by the Kraken this postseason.

Despite Tuesday’s disappointing result, it’s worth noting that Game 4 was the fifth home game for the Kraken this playoff run, a number far more than most pundits expected for the newly-formed franchise.

Come Thursday night, following a highly-lauded matchup between division rivals San Francisco and Seattle, the fog hanging over the Seahawks’ playoff chances will hopefully clear up.

With Carolina’s upset win Sunday over Seattle, anchored by the Panthers’ nearly 40 minutes of possessing the football, the Seahawks (7-6 record) are outside of the playoff pack for the first time in over two months, a mere half-game behind the Washington Commanders (7-5-1) and the New York Giants (7-5-1) for the NFC’s final playoff spot with four weeks to go.
