The 2023 season turned out to be Pete Carroll's Waterloo with the Seattle Seahawks. He needed his defense to be good again, as, after all, Carroll was a defensive-minded head coach who needed to show he could improve his specialty. He couldn't.
After the season, Seattle relieved Carroll from his role as coach and Vice President of Football Operations. The team needed a change, and Carroll and many others were part of that. That included free agent bust linebacker Devin Bush.
Bush had signed a one-year prove-it deal with the Seahawks in the 2023 offseason.
