I don't know, they may be a good fit, it's been quite some time between head coaching jobs in the NFL for Pete, but he may be able to turn that team around. Having said that, he's got his work cut out for him, because that is a bad team, they did have some injury problems like alot of teams did but he's got plenty of work to do there.

I wonder if there are storm clouds on the horizon at USC, hence the quick get-away.

Absolutely what I was just going to post about. He's getting out while the getting is good. Why else would you leave one of the top 5 jobs in the country to go to the......Seahawks?

this is hard for me to believe. When exactly did Carroll say he "definitely" wasn't taking the Seahawks job? Would he really take the job before doing that?

i don't think he can officially announce taking it til they fulfill the rooney rule-which is a ridiculous rule. i understand the intent of the rule, but wasting someone's time to show you 'interviewed' them is just silly.

"mea culpa" knucklehead! It appears that the internal struggles with Mike Garrett were the major impetus for Carroll to go now. Plashke of Times had a decent article on it.

Garrett has the mess to clean up left behind by carroll.

His combined NFL record as head coach was 33–31. Doesn't the Seahawks management have Southern Cali ties ?
Wiki says --> The Seahawks have agreed to a five year deal with USC head coach Pete Carroll to replace Jim Mora as their next head coach.

After that Petey will most likely be named coach.

i agree it is an insult to all black coaches and i don't care for the rule. BUT, the rule got mike tomlin the job in pittsburgh. steelers looked at someone they other wise would not have interviewed.
