Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll has already acknowledged that he’ll regret the playcall that allowed a second Super Bowl to slip from his grasp.
Legendary head coach, John Madden, believes the audible from run to pass, will “torment” Carroll for the rest of his life.
“That will torment him forever,” Hall of Famer John Madden told Sam Farmer of the Los Angeles Times. “Winning one game is hard. Getting to the Super Bowl is hard. Then getting that close and losing has to be tough, because we only remember the winners of the Super Bowl.
“One of the biggest gaps in sports is the difference between the winning and losing teams of the Super Bowl. They don’t invite the losing team to the White House. They don’t have parades for them. They don’t throw confetti on them.
“Does it haunt you? Hell yes, it haunts you. I’m still haunted by some championship games.”
I’m not sure we’ll ever find out what caused Carroll to audible from a Marshawn Lynch run play, into whatever play Russell Wilson tried to pull off.
