Last week, The Athletic reported that Russell Wilson tried to get coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Schneider fired in Seattle last year before he was traded to Denver. That report also mentioned that Wilson and Carroll did not embrace each other ahead of the Week 1 game between the Seahawks and Broncos.
At the NFL combine, Carroll said he has no ill will towards any player who he used to coach, including those who may not have felt they were maximized as players, and he always wants to keep communication open.
“My response to that is a similar response that’s always been with the guys that I’ve coached,” Carroll said, via ProFootballTalk. “I’m always going to hang with them, and I’m never going to leave them. I’m going to be there at the end, with all of the good stuff and all of the bad stuff. I’m going to still be there.”
