So long Pete. You were good.

He’ll have to be better than good if he’s going to fix the Seahawks.

And when the NCAA comes down hard on USC, Pete will be far away. The only ones who will pay are the kids.

Money talks........

The NCAA was still investigating Bush and now McKnight. (Not including the basketball team.)
He saw an open window and took a dive.

People like to talk about how Pete was a so-so (at best) pro coach in the past. His so-so is better than we (Seahawks fans) have had for a couple of years now. Add to that what he may have learned over the past 9 seasons being one of the best college coaches out there and I for one am cautiously optimistic about the future of my favorite club.

But ownership needs to be patient and give this man time to build the team. At least 3 years to make it his own, showing improvement all the way. Even though Seattle won one more game this year than last, no one who watched them can really argue that they were “better” than last years’ team.

Saban has a chance to make history if he were to get a national championship with a third different school. Carroll and Saban are good friends. Don't count it out. Saban has never demonstrated any loyalty to this point. Why start now?

I suspect USC will do better in future years without Pete Carroll than San Diego State has done since Don Coryell went to the NFL.

At least friends and family in Washington may now feel compelled to cheer for my USC coach!

Hmmmmm....I’ll bet most of Pete’s USC teams could have beat most Seahawk teams, in any given year....

Running as fast as he can before the fan gets hit.

NCAA problems coming down the road, plus increased money = Buh-bye.......
