\"SeattleThe Pete Carroll era begins in Seattle after he left a very successful college coaching career at Southern Cal for another shot at the NFL.\u00a0 Carroll has some unfinished business following his first stint as a pro football head coach with the New York Jets and New England Patriots, posting a 33-31 record in four seasons between the teams and a winning record against the NFL line.\u00a0 The guy who immediately followed him in New England just happened to be former Jets defensive coordinator Bill Belichick, who went on to win three Super Bowls with the Patriots.\u00a0 This time around, Carroll inherits a squad that has a unique blend of youth and experience.\u00a0 Five years removed from their one and only Super Bowl appearance, the Seahawks still have veteran QB Matt Hasselbeck leading the offense designed by new offensive coordinator Jeremy Bates, who has been working hard to develop 2009 free-agent WR signee T.J. Houshmandzadeh and former USC great Mike Williams as his top targets.<\/p>\n
