Longtime Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll led Seattle to a surprising playoff berth last season.
In less than a month, Carroll will be 72 years old.
Carroll developed a reputation for staying physically active, and being the NFL’s oldest coach didn’t seem to slow him down. Earlier this week, Carroll decided to show off his pitching skills during team practice.
His athletic prowess was on full display as he pumped, threw passes on the move and connected on a few touchdowns.

The Seahawks defense didn’t feature much of a pass rush when Carroll was quarterback, but Carroll had an impressive performance.

“QB Pete is coming soon to Quarterback on @Netflix,” the Seahawks wrote in a post on their verified account on X, the company formerly known as Twitter. It was accompanied by a video of Carroll performing the impressive throws.
Carroll played high school football and attended Pacific University, where he played safety. He then moved on to coaching.
Carroll has nearly 50 years in coaching, gaining experience at the college level, where he led the USC Trojans to two national championships.
He left Southern California after the 2009 season to become the head coach of the Seahawks.

Music superstar Snoop Dogg, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and actor Will Ferrell didn’t seem impressed by the video of Carroll replacing the quarterback. The commissioner and celebrities threw pointed comments at the coach-turned-temporary quarterback.
“I received a video earlier today from one of your practices. I’m very concerned about it,” Goodell said. “I keep hearing about the abuse you put on your defensive secondary, shredding it every day with your passing and your running.”

“Pete Carroll… you have some nerve to treat your players with such disrespect,” Snoop Dogg joked.
“What are you doing? It’s young men out there! They’re fighting for their livelihoods,” Ferrell commented.
When the games start, the Seahawks will continue to let Geno Smith handle quarterback duties.
