The NFL Scouting Combine is all about networking and getting deals done, but Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll can also add league news breaker to his resume.
Sean Desai left Philadelphia on Tuesday morning without a formal announcement, but during his afternoon press conference at Lucas Oil Stadium, Caroll confirmed from his perspective, that Seattle’s assistant head coach would be joining the Eagles as defensive coordinator.
