Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll doesn't see the finish line to his coaching career coming into view after signing a three-year extension Monday, even though he'll be approaching 70 by the time his contract expires.

Carroll led the Seahawks to their lone Super Bowl victory in 2014, and boasts a 60-36 record during his tenure with the organization.

"I've got no end to this. I don't see it. I'm just going for it. I'm going to go as long as it's fun and it's good and we're winning games and all that," Carroll said Saturday, according to ESPN's Sheil Kapadia. "I don't feel any different than I've felt. As a matter of fact, I feel better. I'm under my playing weight. I'm in great shape. I'm ready to go."

Asked whether the Seahawks would be the last destination of his coaching career, Carroll wouldn't consider the prospect.

"No. I don't even want to think that," Carroll said. "There ain't no last stop - just keep going. I know you guys are wondering if this is what 65 gets you. I'm jacked up, I'm ready to go. I don't have any other thought about that. So if you guys are worried about being 65 - OK, look at me, it ain't that bad. I think it's pretty fun. If I can help you guys out some, I'd be happy to."
