SEATTLE -- The Seattle Seahawks locked up coach Pete Carroll with a three-year contract extension Friday, barely two months after he led the franchise to its first Super Bowl title.
The extension runs through the 2016 season. Carroll's original five-year deal, signed with the team in January 2010, was set to expire after next season.
"This was a huge priority for us coming into the offseason," general manager John Schneider said. "We knew it was around the corner, and quite honestly we're trying to take care of our own people and keep our young players together. But where do you start? You start at the top."
Carroll has proved his attitude and approach can work in the NFL during his third stint as a head coach at the pro level. He has preached competition with his players and it has shown results with the emergence of young stars Russell Wilson and Richard Sherman.
He is 38-26 in four regular seasons with Seattle and 5-2 in the playoffs. At age 62, Carroll is the second-oldest coach in the NFL (the Giants' Tom Coughlin is 67) and is one of seven current coaches who have won a Super Bowl. It was a crowning achievement for Carroll to raise the Lombardi Trophy after struggles in his previous stints as an NFL coach with the Jets and Patriots.

| Yup he does deserve it. I kinda can't believe he's 62 though. Knew he was about that age but it just doesn't seem like it. He looks more like he's around his late 40s, and carries himself / acts like he's in his 20s pretty much.  |

| Well I guess I'd say he does look about that old actually, maybe just a little younger. It's definitely just the way he carries himself that doesn't make him seem like a 62 year old man. |
