Michael Bennett compared the culture of the Seattle Seahawks to Google.

Carroll is the oldest head coach in the NFL but is player-friendly.

“A lot of white coaches want to be fathers to black players,” Bennett said. “Pete Carroll’s not like—‘You gotta tuck in your shirt.’” He shakes his head. “Do you know how much easier it is to work for somebody when you can be yourself? Why do you think Google, Apple and Facebook are so successful? When people can be who they really are, they do so much better.” The Seahawks, he says, are the Google of the NFL. “They let you be you.”
