A heavy sadness has been hanging over my heart this week.
Sadness.
Grief.
Loss.
And the undeniable fact that one of my favorite people in the whole wide world has taken a step back from his everyday influence in my life.
Yes, as a surprise to really no one in the world of the Seattle Seahawks, Coach Pete Carroll is transitioning away from his position as head coach.
He didn't quit.
He didn't get fired.
It's more of a conscious uncoupling, if you will, to allow some fresh blood into the club leadership while still preserving a measure of Pete's wisdom and expertise. Here, read how owner Jodi Allen said it for herself in the official press release:

So yeah. I know. He'll still be around.
He'll still be a part of the Seahawks magic.
He'll live on forever in the hearts of us 12s.
But what Pete Carroll will no longer do is put on displays like this one in his post game locker room team talks.
And because of that, I will miss him forever.
