(Reuters) - Pete Carroll's tenure as head coach of the Seattle
Seahawks will end after 14 seasons at the helm, the team said on
Wednesday.
"After thoughtful meetings and careful consideration for the best
interest of the franchise, we have amicably agreed with Pete Carroll
that his role will evolve from head coach to remain with the
organization as an advisor," the Seahawks said in a statement first
reported by NFL Network.

"Pete is the winningest coach in Seahawks
history, brought the city its first Super Bowl title, and
created a tremendous impact over the past 14 years on the field
and in the community.
"His expertise in leadership and building a championship culture
will continue as an integral part of our organization moving
forward. Pete will always be a beloved member of the Seahawks
family."
It was a surprise move given the rebuilding Seahawks finished
the season with a 9-8 record and only narrowly missed the
playoffs.
Carroll, 72, has been the head coach in Seattle since 2010,
accumulating a 137-89-1 record, according to the NFL, and
leading Seattle to a win in the Super Bowl at the end of the
2013 season.
