For a guy who is 72 years old and has been the head coach of the Seattle Seahawks for 13 years, Pete Carroll hasn’t lost a bit of energy. The guy is known for his electric pregame and postgame speeches, and is also physically active at the team’s practices, as we saw when he was dropping dimes during practice earlier this season.
On Monday Night Football, the Seahawks put together arguably their best performance of the season against the Philadelphia Eagles, one of the best teams in the NFL. Behind backup quarterback Drew Lock, the Seahawks put together a game winning drive after Lock hit rookie wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba on a go route with under 30 seconds left in the game, putting the Seahawks ahead for good at 20-17.
Although the odds aren’t great, the Seahawks’ chances of making the playoffs are still alive with the win, putting them at 7-7 with three games left in the season. As you can imagine, Lock was pretty fired up after the game.
But who was the guy matching his energy? Ol’ Pete Carroll himself.
In the locker room after the game, Carroll told his team:
“There’s quite a few things in this game we can point out, but I just think this thing is too important… CAN YOU WIN A GAME IN THE FIRST QUARTER? CAN YOU WIN A GAME IN THE SECOND QUARTER? CAN YOU WIN A GAME IN THE THIRD QUARTER? CAN YOU WIN THE MOTHERF*CKER IN THE FOURTH QUARTER?”
And when Carroll closed out the speech, he couldn’t help himself but say:
“I’M SO F*CKING JACKED, I DON’T KNOW ABOUT YOU GUYS, I MEAN GOD D*MN.”
I mean SHEESH. I’m ready to run through a brick wall myself. There’s one thing for certain about Petey, he’s gonna bring the energy week in and week out.
