Pete Carroll used Bill Walsh story to teach Steve Kerr about coaching

Long before Pete Carroll became head coach of the Seattle Seahawks, he was the defensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers.

In 1995 and 1996, Carroll was a part of George Seifert's coaching staff.

It was during that time that former 49ers head coach Bill Walsh returned to the franchise in an administrative role after spending three seasons coaching at Stanford.

During a podcast for The Ringer with Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, Carroll recalled a story about his interactions with Walsh, and how he had used it as a teaching lesson for Kerr, who had spent time with the Seahawks coach when he got hired by Golden State in 2014.
