The report is that, after the Seahawks go about the formality of interviewing a minority candidate for the Head Coach vacancy, the Seahawks will announce the hiring of Pete Carroll as Head Coach.

This is a very unbelievable turn of events, especially considering the Washington Huskies stole the USC offensive & defensive coordinator last year to become the Head Coach and Defensive Coordinator at UW, and now the Seahawks are stealing their head coach... Sorry USC.
Here is an article by Steve Kelley (I'm not a big fan), writing on the Carroll decision.
Picking Pete Carroll would make bad situation worsel
Kelley does not like the move, citing Pete Carroll's previous NFL coaching experience as a negative.
I see the Carroll decision being a move in a new direction, which I like, and I also don't think that Carroll's experience as an NFL coach was as terrible as Kelley makes it out to be. Carroll went 27-21 in three seasons with the Patriots, making the playoffs 2 out of 3 seasons (1997-99). He is much more experienced as a Head Coach now (albeit, at the NCAA D-1 level), and is as experienced an evaluator of talent as anyone in the college or pro ranks. With the Seahawks 2 draft picks in the first round, Carroll should make 2010 a good draft for the Hawks.
