Mora out in Seattle, Pete Carroll in

I was surprised to learn that he was 33-31 as a head coach in the NFL. In fact he was 27-21 as the Patriots head coach. Fired after going 8-8 in his third year and replaced by Belicheck.

That's surprising to me too. I thought from all the negativity surrounding his NFL career he was way below .500. For what it's worth I think he'll do well in Seattle but their team is in dire straights talent wise. Old beat up bodies and never-will-bes all around.

You'd think that grumpy bastard would crack a smile after the whole thing. I mean you just won the national title! Playing for him must really suck.I'd rather be the national champion with a less publicly enamored coach than not the national champion with a happy go lucky type guy.

Why? Either way you still are a champ. What is wrong with happy go lucky if you still win?

Some people just react differently man, no big deal. Remember Saban learned a lot from Belichick.

I think he said not the national champ

Oh wow, now JMJ and his Daddy can't blame Michael Vick for JMJ's misfortunes. JMJ is one of those good coordinators who should never be a head coach. And the way he singled out his kicker didn't sit well with me.

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.
