Seahawks hopefuls may have been wishing for draft-pick compensation in exchange for Carroll, sort of how Sean Payton was traded from New Orleans to Denver two offseasons ago. That won’t happen. Carroll is free to coach elsewhere and the Seahawks wouldn’t benefit from him filling a head coaching vacancy.

Longtime former Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll is reportedly in line to interview with a second team.

While Carroll clearly wants to get back into the business of coaching the game at the highest level, he should steer clear.
