In 1999, the Patriots fired Pete Carroll and hired Bill Belichick. Now, in 2015, the two are taking their teams to the Super Bowl. Carroll and the Seahawks are in, and the Patriots won the AFC Championship game. Carroll has become the first coach to lead his team to consecutive Super Bowls since Belichick did it in 2004 and 2005.
Carroll is in his fifth season with the Seahawks, while Belichick is still with the Patriots. After New England, Carroll went to USC, won a Championship and six bowl games, and then made his way back into the NFL.
Here’s how the two coaches compare:
