Five Seahawks players and legends you would want to be quarantined with

Pete Carroll

Everybody needs a bit of positivity in their lives and Seahawks coach Pete Carroll is nothing but positive. Being forced to be quarantined is tough enough, but imagine what it might be like with Bill Belichick. Sure, you would get a lot of football knowledge but a lot of mumbled grumbling too about things like how the dishes weren’t clean enough.

With coach Carroll, not only would I still get to ask tons of questions about how to play defense in general and, specifically, the intricacies of Cover 2, but also just about the greater things in life. Carroll somehow still seems to manage a good work-life balance with family. We could all do better at that. I might actually ask Carroll to teach me more about life than football. Plus, how does he stay so positive?

Of course, there would be lots of football to discuss. What was it like to be forced out of New England then go to USC and resurrect one of the best programs in college football history? What was it like to deal with the constant assumptions he was cheating and how did he get USC back to a perennial contender for a national championship?

But, of course, what was the secret when he returned to the NFL as the Seahawks head coach and turned a team in decline into a Super Bowl champion within a few years of his return to the NFL? So many questions I would have for coach Carroll that even he, with all his positivity, might ask me to go into a different part of the house for a few hours so he could be alone.
