Pete Carroll ranks third among NFL head coaches in career games coached

The Carolina Panthers have fired head coach Frank Reich after a 1-10 start to the season. Whoever replaces Reich will become the team’s fifth head coach since they fired Ron Rivera near the end of the 2019 NFL season.

Reich’s firing is a reminder that although Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll may have his flaws, he’s still better at his job than most and there’s a reason why he’s stuck around so long. Let’s see where Carroll ranks compared to the competition around the league in total experience at this level. Here’s how all 32 coaches stack up in career games coached.
