He became the head coach of the Seahawks in 2010, leading the team to its first Super Bowl title in 2014 and achieving a commendable record of 137 wins, 89 losses, and 1 tie during his tenure.
Beyond his coaching achievements, the resolution highlights Carroll's commitment to fostering an inclusive and compassionate environment for his players, empowering them to reach their full potential. His philanthropic efforts, including community outreach programs aimed at helping youth affected by gangs and the juvenile justice system, further demonstrate his dedication to making a positive impact in society. The Senate resolution not only celebrates Carroll's football legacy but also acknowledges his contributions to the community, reflecting the values of leadership and compassion he embodies.
