Strictly off the resumes, Carrol gets the nod.
Pete is 100-60 in the regular season to Reid's 99-61; virtually a wash so you go to playoff performance. Carrol is 10-7 w/ 2 conference championships and a SB in 8 playoff seasons while Reid is 5-6 w/ 1 conference championship and a SB in 7 playoff appearances.
The Seahawks were in slightly better shape than the Chiefs when Carrol got there, but they weren't a safe bet by any means.
I think Reid's a safer bet going forward and the guy I'd rather have right this very minute, but a rearview mirror analysis of the last decade says that Carrol has a slightly stronger case. Reid comes in a safe 3rd, IMO, especially with Sean Payton's SB coming in the 2009 season (and his suspension being in this one). Harbaugh maybe in the running but apart from that 2012 run he's really done very little. The Ravens haven't won a playoff game since 2014 so that's gotta hold him back.
There really isn't much of a conversation after 3rd, IMO.
