As the news breaks, fans and fellow coaches are taking to social media to express their support for Carroll and to celebrate his enduring legacy in the NFL.
“Pete Carroll is a true legend and a beloved figure in our sport,” tweeted former Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson. “Glad to hear he’s doing well and still inspiring us all with his passion and energy.”
The incident serves as a reminder of the power and speed of social media, where false information can spread quickly. However, in this case, the swift response from Carroll’s representatives has helped to set the record straight and reassure fans that the coach is indeed alive and well.
