Following the Seattle Seahawks' 38-30 win over the Arizona Cardinals to close out a 7-10 season, Pete Carroll was asked if there's any question on whether he will return as head coach.

"No," he said. "I'm in great shape."

Carroll is under contract through 2025 after signing a five-year extension in 2020.

Carroll was asked what his conversations will be like with Jody Allen in the coming days.

"Like we've always had," Carroll said. "Really pointed at figuring things out. She's very analytical and she wants to make sure that we're doing everything that we can possibly do to get everything right. She's a terrifically completive person in that regard and she doesn't want any stone unturned. Exactly the way I look at it. I just feel so connected to that thought that that's what we do, but to have your owner talk that same way, that's a competitive perspective.

"It goes back to the old line we used to have: We're in a relentless pursuit of finding a competitive edge in everything we're doing. That's what is. That's what she represents. So we'll try to do a great job of exchanging the information and setting the course for making sure that we give ourselves the best chance to be champions."
