Pete Carroll already giving Seahawks fans a reason to howl with laughter

When Pete Carroll was the Seattle Seahawks, the rumor was that he wanted to run the ball too much. In reality, late in the 2010s, things changed. Carroll's offense turned into more of a Russell Wilson-centric one, and he threw the ball too much. Wilson liked to throw, and Seattle wanted to make him happy.

Eventually, except for maybe one season when current Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer was Seattle's offensive coordinator, the team let Wilson be too Russell Wilson, and that hurt the offense. The quarterback was always better working with a strong running attack, but Carroll caved.
