Richard Sherman dishes on Seahawks’ Pete Carroll celebration, what ex-coach means to him

Pete Carroll’s first few hours spent away from being the head coach of the Seattle Seahawks were spent around some of the players that helped lift him to his greatest triumph.

After stepping down as Seahawks coach Wednesday, Carroll was joined that night by several members of Seattle’s 2013 Super Bowl team in a private party that, according to the Seattle News Tribune, was set up with just a few hours’ notice.

The party was publicized in a social media post late that night by that 2013 team’s quarterback, now-Denver Broncos signal-caller Russell Wilson, as well as several members of the famed “Legion of Boom” defense that became the calling card of that golden era of Seahawks football. The party was, appropriately, hosted at the Seattle restaurant “Legion” co-owned by two of the faces of that defense, cornerback and now “Undisputed” co-host Richard Sherman and safety Kam Chancellor.

Several “LoB” members at the event included Sherman, Chancellor, current linebacker Bobby Wagner and former cornerback DeShawn Shead, the last of whom returned to Seattle as an assistant coach under Carroll for the past three seasons. 

Other Seahawks in attendance who played for Carroll were former wide receivers Sydney Rice, Doug Baldwin and Jermaine Kearse, current wide receivers DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett, cornerback Quandre Diggs, offensive lineman Charles Cross, linebacker Uchenna Nwosu and safety Julian Love.

“It was incredible,” Sherman said, “It was a lot of emotion. … It was a love fest. It was Pete giving some of his speeches and his jokes and the things that he says all of the time, some of the stories that he tells — it was hilarious because you could hear guys quoting word-for-word the stories, [whether they were] older guys that he coached 10 years ago or guys that he coached just this year. It really just shows the impact that he’s made on so many young men — the style that he’s had, the love that he has from his guys, from his players.”
