There you go, cherry picking again. That is like asking what Belichick's playoff record is since 2019. Or Tomlin's playoff record since 2009. Or Andy Reid's playoff record before 2019.
You seem to act like Carroll lost every game all by himself. Coaches can help players achieve their highest level of performance, but they do not play the game for them. You might know a little bit about football (I'm guessing from Madden), but you really seem to not understand "the game" and "the game" within professional football in particular....and you prove it more and more every time you post. If you did, then you would know that the number one factor influencing whether a team wins or loses is player execution. You can have the absolute best play calling and even the best coaches, but one busted play...one missed assignment...one injury to a key player...or one badly timed penalty can and often does change the direction of the game. The NFL is very competitive. This is proven EVERY SINGLE SEASON. At the start of each season, almost every fans says "this could be our year". At the beginning of the playoffs, most fans of 12 teams (now 14) thinks their team has a great chance of going to an even winning the SB. But in reality, less than half (44%) of the teams will make the playoffs and only 1 team (0.03%) will actually win the SB.
Based on what you post, you put out the impression that you think if a coach does not take their team to the playoffs each season or doesn't advance to later rounds in the playoffs then they are a failure and could never be successful in future playoffs or winning the SB. Almost as if you think they forgot everything they know about football after a couple of unsuccessful seasons.
I don't know where your hatred of PC came from. Were you a Husky fan with an ingrained hatred of PC from his USC days? Did he run over your dog? Date your ex? Pissed in your Wheaties? No matter, but the stats do not support your narrative. The opinion of other coaches do not support you narrative (PC is highly regarded by his peers). The opinions of most of the players that have played for him does not support your narrative. In fact there is really absolutely nothing that supports your narrative.
This team is playing well at this time. Who knows, they may explode and not win another game this season....or they may go on to win the SB. In any case, while PC will get credit or blame either way, it will be the players that win or lose any particular game.
I don't hate Pete, I've just watched him get outcoached too many times in the playoffs for far too long. Getting filleted by Garrett was the last straw for me, I can't unsee it. Their only playoff wins since 2015 have come against a 40 year old injured backup, the Lions, and a kicker missing a chippy. I'm not impressed.
Rattling off records from over a decade ago doesn't mean much in football. He had the team of the century, which I will give Pete full credit for being instrumental in assembling, and coaching into what they became. But he only was able to get 1 Superbowl out of that team.
DVOA wise they were the 90's Cowboys, but in a salary cap era. He had a bigger advantage over opponents than Dallas who were originally assembled before the salary cap existed. The dynasty that never was. Not impressed, he squandered it.
Pete should send Kaep a gift basket every year for throwing at Sherm, otherwise the Seahawks would have 0 SuperBowls had he not. I thank my luckystars every year Kaep was dumb enough to throw at Sherm, even though Kaep was moving the ball so comfortably at the end of the game going to his left as they marched right down the field.
80% of the love Pete gets on here right now should be going to JS. I think JS is the best college prospect evaluator in the business, and has been hamstrung many years by Pete Al Davis'ing drafts. Flushing 1st rounders on guys like Jamal, and Percy. Pete
has made JS's job incredibly hard over the years.
Pete is a player's coach, and a likeable guy, of course they are going to say good things about him.
My biggest concern for what they are currently building, is the 2022 draft class is legit. If they stack another class next year in this crappy conference? They should own it. "Should" being the key word. Based on history, Pete could very well squander this team, too.
I mean… we got no one on here with any confidence at all that they can make it to the NFCCG with a top 5 QB in this dilapidated conference, which speaks volumes about their actual confidence in Pete Carroll. In 2012, before Wilson ever threw a pass in the regular season, many 12's were confident the team could make a run. Bear in mind they went 7-9 the 2 years prior.
Ultimately, it's the coaches job to get the players ready to play, and to out maneuver the opponent on the chess board. I will continue to critique with this in mind. And not simply just hand out passes because he won a superbowl 10 years ago, and is a likeable guy.
If Pete is coach of the year material, he shouldn't have much of a problem navigating this NFC with a top 5 QB at the helm.
