It seems like so long ago that people were wondering whether or not Pete Carroll could get it done in the NFL when he came back to take over the Seattle Seahawks after building the USC dynasty. Well, one Super Bowl victory later, he’s proven himself, and now the team has rewarded Carroll with a new contract.

Carroll’s original contract was set to expire after this upcoming season, but he’ll be sticking around for a while now, and deservedly so.

Carroll is on his way to potentially building the next dynasty in the NFL with this young Seahawks team he has. They thoroughly dominated the vaunted Denver Broncos in this past Super Bowl, and can only seem to go up from here. They even made a few offseason moves to maybe even improve what they already have.

Regardless, this is an extension that is well-deserved.
