After a decent start to the season, the Seattle Seahawks have been on a free-fall as of late. They've lost eight of their last nine games, their only win coming against the lowly Jacksonville Jaguars. Russell Wilson's injury might be part of this skid, but it's become increasingly clear that this team has issues even with Wilson healthy.
The frustration seems to have come to a boiling point for Seahawks coach Pete Carroll. During the post-game presser after yet another Seahawks loss (this time to a Kyler Murray-less Arizona Cardinals), the decorated coach was visibly ticked off. (via Brady Henderson)

After the presser was over, Carroll was heard saying, “I’m really done. I’m done.” Not the best look coming from your head coach.

Brady Henderson, ESPN's reporter for the Seahawks, noted a few interesting things during Carroll's uncharacteristic presser.
“Carroll seemed about as mystified as everyone as to why the Seahawks’ offense has been so bad. He was clearly unhappy about the Sidney Jones INT reversal. Said Tre Brown suffered a patellar injury. Didn’t say whether it’s season-ending but noted “those are pretty tough” injuries.”

Tre Jones' injury update aside, it's a fair question to wonder if Carroll's stint with the Seahawks will be over after this season. He has brought significant success to the franchise, bringing them a Super Bowl win and years of title contention. However, in recent years, it seems like he has lost his touch when it comes to coaching, culminating in this disastrous season for a once-proud franchise.
Was Carroll's “I'm done” comments a foreshadowing of what's about to come? Time will tell.
