Seahawks New Coach Mr. Pete Carroll

[Obst]

I love the haters.

If the NCAA cracks down on USC then USC will struggle the next couple of years, but I laugh at all of the people who are so joyfully talking about the "fall of Troy" beginning. You guys only hope so.

USC is a big time school and will attract big time coaches. This won't hurt them half as bad as some of you are acting like it will. Reports are already saying USC is going to target Mike Riley, Jack Del Rio, and Jeff Fisher. Doubt they get Fisher or Del Rio but if they can get 1 of those 3 they will be in great shape.

This will hurt this year's recruiting class but it's a speed bump that USC will get over by next year.

Please take Jack Del Rio, I'm begging you.

I'd take Jack Del Rio as a college HC. He'd easily be able to recruit. But I'm hearing that SC may be interested in him for the AD position rather than HC.

Didnt we try this before Pete?

[Hasselbeck]

Nice to see all the USC haters become Seahawk haters.

Hopefully Petey produces the same type of winning environment he did at SC.

[Hasselbeck]

Why would anyone want to coach the Seahawks?

Umm lets see.. one of the best stadiums in the league, the richest owner by a wide margin, one of the best training facilities in the league (The VMAC) .. in a shitty division where you could rebound quickly and make the playoffs.

Just to name a few.

Carroll takes this job likely b/c he can stay on the west coast, he'll get paid, he will have power to control personnel decisions and it's not like the division is incredibly difficult.

Besides, if USC will get sanctions, where else will he go?

Will be funny to see him running back to the NCAA with his tail between his legs in about 3-4 years.

I've seen this movie before.

Carroll is as good a coach as Bum's son at the NFL level

I'm not worried about Carroll the coach though, it's Carroll the GM I am a bit up in the air on.

But he can't be worse than Mora/Ruskell.. that's for damn sure

I imagine he'll retire if this doesn't work out.

I think this is an indication that USC might be in deep poopy with the NCAA. This happened awfully quick following the whole McKnight thing (which followed the Bush thing....).

[citizenerased]

I wish Mark Sanchez would've held a press conference and done the same thing to Petey that Petey did to him last year. Sorry Seahawks fans, I hope he fails worse than the Colts in the playoffs this year.

GTFO with that shit. He's been there for virtually a decade - when is he allowed to leave? 15 years? 20 years? Carried out of his office in his coffin?

LULZ....pwned

I'm as hard on Phillips as any fan, but Carroll's career record doesn't even compare;

Phillips - 81-54 .597
Carroll - 33-31 .516

He's only got 1 postseason win, so it's not like he's substantially better in that department either.

Carroll's NFL claim to fame in the pros is that he preceeded Belichick in NE and Parcells in NY.

He'll be just as mediocre in Seattle where he won't be able to stockpile talent like he did in LA.

THANK GOD.

Best news ive heard in a long time that gives me hope for NDs program

[Palooza]

I'm interested in what Carroll will do in Seattle. Seahawks are pretty irrelevant (to me at least), so it should be fun to see how this all plays out since Carroll is such a big name.

I hope he fails, though, but something tells me, he might do quite well.

[Bigpapa42]

Don't blame him for taking the opportunity, but still disappointing. Its was a helluva run at USC.

Now I gotta cheer against Petey.
