In an article in The Athletic, former Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson wanted coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Schneider fired before he was traded to the Broncos.
The story used anonymous sources and said that Wilson made the request in February 2022.
Wilson was quick in denying the report saying Pete Carroll “was a father figure” to him.
I love Pete and he was a father figure to me and John believed in me and drafted me as well. I never wanted them fired. All any of us wanted was to win.
