Richard Sherman believes Pete Carroll still wants to coach, floats possible suitor

When the Seattle Seahawks announced that Pete Carroll wouldn’t be their head coach anymore, there was some thought that he would retire from coaching as he was reassigned within the organization.

However, that might not be the case. Richard Sherman, along with many other Seahawks players who played under Carroll, had dinner with their former coach on Wednesday night. As the group shared memories together, Sherman had one takeaway: Carroll still wants to be on the sideline.
