3:28 PM: Just announced by Chief Sealth International High School athletic director Ernest Policarpio:

Chief Sealth International High School welcomes Luther Carr III as the Seahawks’ newest head football coach.

Carr comes to Chief Sealth with over 21 years of coaching experience, 10 at the college Division 1 level. In 2012 to 2013, Coach Carr led the Seahawks to two playoff berths and two Huling Bowl victories.

The Chief Sealth community is excited to have Luther Carr back as a Seahawk.

Simon Iniguez coached the Sealth football team the past two seasons. (added) AD Policarpio confirms he left “in good standing.” We also confirmed with him that in a way, Coach Carr has never left – he’s continued on the teaching faculty at Denny International Middle School next door.

Where was he the last 2 seasons? Why did he leave after 2013?

That school is such a mess, they never should have let him go in the first place. These are just the kind of ridiculous decisions made at Sealth daily. We need an overhaul of the entire administration at Sealth and the District office and the board.

Happy to have coach back though!,

Luther Carr, was my coach back in the day at Garfield, he thought me well beyond football and I consider him to be one of the strongest inspirational leaders in my life! Glade to see Sealth get such a leader on staff!
