Seattle Seahawks owner Jody Allen released a statement that said Pete Carroll will not continue as their head coach:

"After thoughtful meeting and careful consideration for the best interest of the franchise, we have amicably agreed with Pete Carroll that his role will evolve from Head Coach to reamin with the organization as an advisor."
"Pete is the winningest coach in Seahawks history, brought the city its first Super Bowl title, and created a tremendous impact over the past 14 years on the field and in the community."
"His expertise in leadership and building a championship culture will continue as an integral part of our organization moving forward. Pete will always be abeloved member of the Seahawks family."

In his 14-year tenure as the Seahawks head coach, Carroll posted a record of 181-130-1. He won five division titles, made it to the postseason ten times and helped Seattle win its first Super Bowl in franchise history.

Looks like Carroll will remain with the organization in a lesser role.
