'I Expect A Good Playoff Run!' Seattle Seahawks' Uchenna Nwosu Reveals Thoughts About New Coaching Staff

With a new head coach for the first time since Pete Carroll took over in 2010, Seattle seems poised for a resurgence after a one-year absence from playoff contention - just their third postseason miss under Carroll during his tenure.

The Seattle Seahawks are a different team heading into 2024.

With a new head coach for the first time since Pete Carroll took over in 2010, Seattle seems poised for a resurgence after a one-year absence from playoff contention - just their third postseason miss under Carroll during his tenure.

And while the faces around the coaching rooms are new, veteran linebacker applauds the changes.

“You know, these coaches seem committed,” he said. “They are really putting in the time and effort so far. And that’s what you want to see from a staff… As a team, I expect a good playoff run. We’ve been close the last two years. I feel like it’s time to really get over that hump. We’ve got all the players. I feel like we’ve got the right coaches now.”

Last offseason, Nwosu signed a three-year, $45 million contract extension with the Seahawks and expected to be playing under Pete Carroll. But apparently the change of coaches was refreshing for him to a point.

“Last year was kind of frustrating,” Nwosu said. “And sometimes when you get change, it can bring out the best in everybody. I see a lot more smiles on people’s faces. They’re more happy, they’re more energetic… I don’t know if that’s just because it’s the new year, new season, or it could be the coaching changes and new opportunity. But everybody is kind of coming along together and everybody’s talking more, everybody’s hanging out more and I feel like it’s bringing the locker room closer.”
