Pete Carroll's son takes NFL coaching role following father's exit from Seahawks
Pete Carroll's role in the NFL has changed this offseason, and not much later, his son has also seen a big change. Carroll's son, Nathan Carroll, has received a job with the Carolina Panthers, per Tom Pelissero via the Spun.
The new role will be as a passing game coordinator, reuniting the son with Dave Canales and general manager Dan Morgan, two former Seahawks members. Nathan Carroll is not a new name in the NFL. Although he has never been given any roles as prominent as his father's, he's logged a fair number of roles in the NFL.
That said, this will be Carroll's new role in the NFL outside of Seattle. Before joining the Panthers, Carroll spent essentially the entire Pete Carroll era working with the Seahawks going back to 2010.
Nathan Carroll spent three years as a defensive assistant coach, one year as an offensive assistant coach, four years as an assistant wide receivers coach, four years as a wide receivers coach and two years as a senior offensive assistant coach, per Pro Football History.
After such a long tenure with the Seahawks, his attention turns toward helping Bryce Young bounce back after a difficult rookie campaign.
