The Seattle Seahawks have made several big moves over the past nine seasons in an attempt to get back to the top of the NFL after winning Super Bowl XLVIII and nearly repeating the next season. They have made blockbuster trades and big-money free agent signings. They changed coordinators and overhauled their defensive scheme and personnel. And they moved on from a franchise quarterback.

But on Wednesday, they made their biggest move yet by announcing that Pete Carroll is out as head coach after the most successful run in franchise history and a 14-year tenure.
