Pete Carroll

Personally, I think Johnson is going to Washington. He has a pick to get his franchise QB, and will be given free reign over an offense that has some key pieces already. People are underestimating Josh Harris, he will get somebody like Adam Peters and lure Ben Johnson in. 

I think Gus Bradley, Dave Canales, or Dan Quinn end up in Seattle. They are a sentimental fan base and I can see them bringing one of their own back.

Pete the Cheat broke every rule in the book at USC and F’d the program so badly they still ain’t recovered and took a promotion to the NFL. 
 

that play call in the Super Bowl against the Pats that lost them the game - IMO that’s the single worst play call I’ve ever seen. Sure, the panthers offense was a joke this year and also called horrible plays routinely but pound for pound, the magnitude of the game, legacies on the line—— that is the worst play call in NFL history at least in my life time.

I had a conversation with some old college teammates and they asked me, "What coach would you want to play for in the NFL?"  It was too hard for stupid former football players who were retelling ancient memories and exaggerated war stories that defy the actual statistics and facts, but here was my Mt. Rushmore:

1. Andy Reid

2. Pete Carroll

3. Mike Tomlin

4. John Harbaugh

It was hard not putting Ryans, Saleh, Shanahan, and McDaniel on that list, so I developed a second Mt Rushmore of coaches I think I would like to play for.


The Mt Rushmore of coaches I would not like to play for:

1.  Bill Belichick

2. Sean Payton

3.  Mike McCarthy

4. Nick Sirianni

 

So it was written.

Along with his accomplishments, not much more needs to be said. I’m all for going after him for HC barring a Harbaugh union

no. i love this forum simply b/c anytime anything happens someone makes a post saying we should get him. Carrol is 72. he's also staying on as a consultant or some bs job.

Pete isn’t on the market. He’s stepping down and becoming an advisor for Seattle.

He’s basically retiring.

we'll see... he seemed pretty clear in his multiple press conferences since the end of the season that he badly wanted to keep coaching the Seahawks. when asked if he still wanted to coach/would coach elsewhere he basically said "no comment" not "no I'll stay with the Seahawks." This is a pure firing -- Pete has class and has made it amicable but I think there's a solid chance he'll consider a HC job somewhere else.

 

Reality is Carroll is one of the greatest NFL head coaches of all time and despite his age he'd be the best coach in team history and probably bring us back to back winning seasons for the first time within his first 3-4 years. Would be stupid not to consider him if he is open to opportunities.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
