Pete Carroll to the Seahawks.(rumor)

[swiperboyfan]

Rumor is out that Pete Carroll is going to take the Seahawks job. I wonder how many of their recruits that we could snag if that went down. Hopefully if it does happen we wouldn't lose any coaches.

He has it made at So Cal

Where did you hear this? Could be great for our recruiting if true!

My thread not good enough for you?

In your opinion. Dude has been interested in other NFL head coaching jobs. This is his perfect NFL opportunity. He'll stay on the west coast and get to be a head coach/GM. He's always wanted that role.

By no later than middle of next week he will be announced as Seattle's new coach, book it.

Not to mention college football teaches us that you need to bounce long before a team can fire you and your stock plummets. It is a "what have you done for me lately" profession. I am not saying Carroll will fail to win another National Title at USC, but he is a high profile coach getting a lot of attention. If he takes the NFL job now he can fail and still make a lot of money in the college ranks afterwards. If he gets fired from USC because they can't get it done with more parity (or a USC slide) in the Pac-10 no one will want him.

ESPN reporting it

Thanks, I'll flip over to ESPN

Seattle Seahawks fire Jim Mora; Pete Carroll courted, sources say - ESPN

As a Seahawks fan, this would be awesome. As a Vol fan, this would be awesomer. Lets snag some recruits!

 

[VOLNBAMA]

wonder what Scroggins would do?

 

[FittyElevem]

Would we have a better chance of picking up recruits or losing one of our coaches?

 

[BleedinOrange98]

Chris Mortenson just reported on NFL live that he would surprised if Carrol wasn't the Seahawks next head coach by next week! He confirmed this with multiple sources. Wow who would USC go after? Prater back to UT anyone?

My two favorite teams growing up as a kid were the Packers and the Seahawks. They were both pretty bad for some time and i learned to deal with disappointment.

This would make me afraid of potentially losing CLK.....

 

[volguess06]

if they leave we'll have to see who they get to come in to replace Carroll. If they pull a big name they can retain their recruits.. USC recruits itself with the city, weather and women IMO

kevin riley oregon st coach already contacted him per bruce feldman

this is true. i'm more worried about losing some of our coaches than the potential recruiting gain. this could get interesting.

 

[volunteers4life]

CLK wouldnt go if offered. He has to prove himself where he is IMO. More likely, he will see the potential benefits of poaching the USC class first and be seeing stars. I believe CLK is at home in Tennessee and I dont believe USC would take any chances with someone the NCAA seems to be targeting considering their most recent BB sanctions and all. May be too risky of a move for USC since their athletic department is already dealing with trying to get past a scandalous situation. My guess is their AD will go a more conservative route due to this issue. JMO though.

USC is under enough NCAA scrutiny as it is to pursue Mr. Secondary Violation.

 

[SGMVols]

I'd be shocked if USC offered Kiffin the job.

 

[NYYVol]

I'd be shocked if USC offered Kiffin the job.

I wouldn't imagine he would be on their list.
