RENTON, Wash. (AP) – When Pete Carroll took over as head coach of the Seattle Seahawks in January he quickly realized the players he inherited didn’t give him the option of doing everything he was used to at USC.
While he’s slowly been able to mold the offense to resemble what he had as coach of the Trojans, the defense needed attention to develop a scheme that would best suit the players he had on the roster.
Carroll had to go back to his experiences with the San Francisco 49ers in the mid-1990s. Carroll and defensive line coach Dan Quinn each learned from former 49ers assistant coach Bill McPherson and decided to try out a scheme that they got while serving under him.
