RENTON, Wash. -- The Seattle Seahawks have given head coach Pete Carroll a contract extension that runs through the 2021 season.
The team made the announcement Monday, a day after the Seahawks secured a wild-card berth with their 38-31 win over the Kansas City Chiefs.
"This will continue the championship culture that we have created in Seattle," Jody Allen, the team's chair and trustee of the Paul G. Allen Trust, said in a statement:
The Seahawks will have gone to the postseason in seven of Carroll's nine seasons in Seattle.
"So grateful to Jody and the organization," Carroll said.
