Seattle clearly did not need more than three years to completely change the position of their franchise in the NFL. They were down for two seasons.

Let's see. Did Pete Carroll inherit
1) Oldest team in the league-
Nope.
2) Team in cap hell due to outrageous contracts from previous regime.
Nope.
3) Team penalized 36 million in cap room.
Nope.
Don't even compare Pete Carroll's situation he stepped into with Shanahan. It's not even remotely close. The only team that even remotely compares would possibly be the Raiders. Only they have been as idiotic as we have with draft picks and stupid contracts. Not only that, the NFC West was garbage when Carroll came into the league, and even got into the playoffs with a 7-9 record. Do you think he would have anything close to that playing in the NFC East back then? Hell no.
What was the difference in Bill Bellicheks and Pete Carroll's situations from their first stint as head coaches to their second stint. Their situation. If you think these guys some some epiphany after they were fired that led to to become some sort of coaching genius than I have some ocean front property to sell you in Utah.
