Pete Carroll is apparently banking on third times being charms this coming year for the Seahawks’ offense — specifically with their new offensive coordinator.

Seattle is expected to hire Indianapolis Colts quarterbacks coach Brian Schottenheimer as the third play caller Carroll has had since he arrived to run the franchise in 2010. That is according to multiple national reports, the first Saturday by ESPN’s Adam Schefter.The Seahawks would not confirm Schottenheimer, 44, is their guy to replace Darrell Bevell. The team said only there is “nothing to report at this point.”NFL Network reported Carroll has offered Schottenheimer the job, and all that remains is finalizing the deal.

Carroll fired Bevell on Wednesday after seven seasons as his offensive coordinator. Bevell replaced Jeremy Bates, Carroll’s coordinator for his first season leading the Seahawks in 2010.

The son of former Kansas City Chiefs, Cleveland Browns and Washington Redskins head coach Marty Schottenheimer, Brian was the St. Louis Rams’ offensive coordinator in 2012-14 and the New York Jets’ from 2006-11.

Carroll has stated his primary goal to get his fallen Seahawks back soaring in 2018 is to run the ball, like his teams used to.

Schottenheimer fits that aim.
