Pete Carroll preseason motivational speech to Seattle Seahawks cited undefeated 1972 Miami Dolphins as benchmark, sources say

Pete Carroll was so convinced the Seattle Seahawks could have a successful 2022 season that during training camp, the longtime head coach gave the team a presentation about 50th anniversary of the 1972 undefeated Miami Dolphins and asked his players why they couldn't accomplish the same feat, sources told ESPN.

Carroll, the model of positivity, always has preached that events can't happen until a team believes that they can. He reminded the Seahawks that while he was at USC, he coached teams that won every game for three straight seasons.

"I know it's possible," Carroll told the Seahawks players, according to sources.
