Carroll and Belichick, NFL's coaches over 70, are still competing

The two septuagenarian NFL coaches still have what it takes to compete in this ever-changing young man’s game.

Forty-eight hours after celebrating his 72nd birthday, Pete Carroll led his Seattle Seahawks into Detroit and beat the hyped-up Lions 37-31 in overtime.

Despite starting 0-2 for the first time since 2021, Bill Belichick, who’s about six months younger than Carroll, showed the same creativity as ever in unveiling a never-before-seen play to block a field goal attempt in the Patriots’ 24-17 loss to Miami.

Belichick didn’t win Sunday but showed he’s ingenious as ever when his special teams coaches and players unveiling a never-before-seen man-in-motion play to block a field goal try by Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders.

hasn't had a decent season since Brady left. In that same time, Brady won a Super Bowl, went to a conference championship the next year and almost got back to the Super Bowl. He retired after last year after a injuries contributed to an average year.

I'm hearing Belichick is on the hot seat as fans and the media are not used to losing up there.
