wow...

I've been listening to the speculation on sports radio since I heard Mora got fired this morning (wow in and of itself). Looks like it could be official. Hmmm
This Seattle fan is not yet sure what to think. Carroll is best known as a recruiter and that don't mean jack in the NFL. I know we could do worse and paying Mora 12M to do nothing does not mean much to Seattle's owner (Paul Allen of Microsoft dough) but still. I'm not sure what to make of this news yet. Pete is a great college coach but he has struggled as an NFL one. Seems to me my Hawks got desperate when Holmey signed up with the Browns. Who knows?
Time will tell...

I wish he would so we wouldn't be subjected to 2 or 3 trips to L.A. every year, the couple 10 min. stories every Saturday about USC and him doing analysis for every game he isn't playing in on College Gameday year in and year out.

He stunk in the NFL.
USC is a dream job. I don't get these college coaches who are perfect fits for the college level that keep wanting to try the NFL, and especially those who have been there before and it didn't work out. Top college coaches get paid big money, so I can't see that being it. Gotta be an ego thing. If he goes, what an idiot.

He's in...

There could be a bunch of factors here. Paul Allen just about doubled Pete's salary at USC. The recruiting violations investigations could be about to hit the fan. Carroll gets the shot to rebuild, restaff and be the Pres. of a team with two top 15 draft picks. (#6, #14) He just had his worst year at USC. (granted with a record many lessor programs would brag about)
I'm just not sure what to make of it yet. Heck I'm still in shock that Mora was fired despite the rough year we had.

This is funny. The Seahawks have to interview a minority as part of the process, so they're trying to get some black asst. coach from the Vikings to interview so they can comply with the rules, and after they interview him they can ignore him and hire Pete Carroll. That's the crazy PC world we live in.
