I am not sure how to feel about all of this. As long as we arent affected coaching staff wise, I say "have a great trip to Seattle, Pete"

Which is probably what would be needed, since IMO if Carroll leaves, that means they're under serious threat of having the hammer dropped. They're going to need somebody who's the best in the business at doing more with less, Riley.

If Carroll's out, methinks USC is going to disappear from the national scene for a while.

agreed. riley will have them competitive, but they ain't going to be rolling over everyone.

Wouldn't this be an interesting scenario?? Highly unlikely because Mora seems to be a HC failure, at least in the NFL. When he was coaching the Falcons, he got in hot water, and subsequently fired, because he expressed some interest in the HC position at the University of Washington, his "dream job" if I remember correctly. So he winds up in Seattle as HC in waiting, then HC after Holmgren retired. Today, he gets fired from the Seahawks, who hire Pete Carroll. USC woo's Steve Sarkisian, HC at UW for those of you under a rock, to replace Carroll. UW then hires Mora to replace Sarkisian. Let the circle...be unbroken....... hehehehehe

Just because Carroll may leave for Seattle doesn't automatically mean the axe is going to fall at SC. Probably has more to do with money and ego.

This one seems to have more legs than the other times Carroll's been rumored to the NFL. All this talk in one day too. If Urban was still "resigning" this would be a major shakeup of college football.

That's the only reason he would leave... It's not just some random up-and-go that he all of a sudden decides to actually entertain this move to the NFL. He's had better opportunities than Seattle.

At least Paul Allen happens to be one of the better Sports owners in America, and may yet put together a good franchise.

I think the axe is indeed about to fall.

The Trojans on their forum seem sure he's gone.

Trojan fans who actually stick around during mediocre seasons tend to be the 'hair on fire' types.

The other opportunities didn't offer full organizational control. Seattle is.

Per Adam Schefter - Interesting point to note: Seahawks chairman Paul Allen and CEO Tod Leiweke fired Jim Mora in Los Angeles, where Pete Carroll lives. ;)

Mods: Merge this if you feel it's necessary, I simply didn't want it to get lost in the other Pete Carroll threads...


I live in Seattle, and was flipping between our sports stations out here and they are both reporting that the Carroll thing is pretty much a done deal. John Clayton (ESPN football guru, and Seattle native) was saying that he expects an official announcement on Sunday. It's looking like Carroll would be taking over as coach, and GM - which is probably the biggest lure. Not to mention Paul Allen, the Seahawk's owner is worth 20 billion dollars and can pay him anything he wants.

Just wanted to share what the local guys are saying.
