Carroll may want to return to the NFL, but I doubt he wants to take the helm of the basket-case that is the Atlanta Falcons....
Is his ego writing a bad check?
Pete Carroll isn’t going to leave USC for any place. He has a great lifestyle, makes plenty of money and can have one of the top three teams in the country every year. If not for Booty’s mid-season injury, USC would have been in the BCS Championship game. Unfortunately they would have taken on OSU and that would have been a real rout.
USC v. LSU would have been a great game.
Carroll is the king of Los Angeles. He’s already effectively running the entire operation of L.A.’s only “professional” squad. He’s not interested in returning to the NFL when he has a job for life at ‘SC.
...on the other hand he would not have to pay the players as much. LOL!
Especially if he doesn't get complete control of football operations, and Blank is not the type of guy to give up that up.
Bet the Trojans could beat the Falcons right now.
