Pete Carroll is a demanding coach. He expects his team to compete at a high level week in and week out and it has yielded results.
Aside from winning the 2013 Super Bowl and appearing in the game the following year, Carroll also owns a 93-67 overall record as a head coach, including five seasons with 10 or more wins. He has only had three losing seasons in 10 years as a head coach, and two of those seasons fell one game short of .500.
So when it comes to impressing a coach like that, it can be difficult.
