CARROL? How can anyone be surprised that he will consider leaving USC?
Read the writing on the wall: If he stays, he essentially gets executed by brewing NCAA investigations into illegal recruitment and player misconduct going back 6-8 years. Let's go ahead and call a spade a spade like Bob Knight did about John Calipari. Carrol's going to skip town out of LA because it won't be for long that the last 5 years of wins and championships will be stripped from USC. HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH "nothing else to prove at the college level"

Ah hah, well that explains why he's leaving USC.

So this makes our pick at 4th more valuable, right? Hasslebeck isn't a young guy, but a great mentor to the franchise QB that Seattle needs (plus the new Seattle coach may want a new QB). Since The Warpath can't even come close to a consensus on do-we-or-don't-we draft a QB with the 4th pick, do we trade down with Seattle so they can get in position for a top QB?

Hasselbeck has been hit with injury bug in Seattle recently so we could possibly trade back with them. Buffalo might want a franchise QB also.

The LA Daily News is reporting that the Seahawks have agreed to a 5 year, $35M contract with Pete Carroll (heard it on Comcast Sportsnite, no link). I can't believe he'd leave Southern Cal and venture into the NFL again. Stunner.

Can't be true yet they didn't satisfy the Rooney Rule yet that's why they want to interview Frazier

Rooney Rule. Yawn. They probably have a deal in place, and will do some going through the motions BS interview to satisfy the rule. They'll waste their own time and Coach Frazier's time, then announce the Carroll hire.

Not surprised at all that he's returning to the NFL. But I'm pretty surprised that it's for the same price we got Shanahan for. Shanahan 2 rings, Carroll 0

Yeah that kind of perked my ears as well. I still kind of wonder how we got Shanahan at only 7/year. Is it likely that there's more than base pay in there? Playoff bonuses? Small ownership stake? Something?

Since we are not that good of a team right now I think it would be smarter for the Seahawks to start drafting Offensive Linemen & wide receivers.

I would rather have Pete Carroll as our General manager instead of a coach.(But I think he is better then Mora as a coach)
