Pete Carroll is advocating for a retool instead of a rebuild for the Seattle Seahawks. 

"Not for one reason at all am I thinking that we have to restart this whole thing and create a new philosophy and a new approach and all that," he told 710 ESPN Seattle on Monday. "I don't think that. I think we've got the essence of the things that we need. We've got to build on them, we've got to support it better and we've got to continue to grow and progress. There ain't no standing still, but there's the foundation for doing things."

Carroll volunteered that thought when asked a general question on his weekly radio show about the team's future.

This will be only the third season in which the Seahawks will miss the playoffs.
