I seriously doubt it, unless Josh Allen goes with him.  

Who knows... there may be another 6'5" 235 lb mobile QB with a cannon for an arm, with even better abilities to read and react to defenses. 

I thought there'd never be another step past Cam, but then Josh comes along and you see that next evolutionary step in the big, mobile QB group. Generational talents, but also just one of them per generation I guess.

There are about 5 elite QBs in the NFL now. Brady has one in Buffalo.  The odds of him finding another in New Orleans are slim

Idk I do think ultimately Pete Carroll is a capable head coach but he's pushing his mid seventies and now he's going to be working under Mark Davis. And as far as his resume goes if I'm just being completely blunt when he was at his best in this league he will always be known as the coach who had the chance to win back to back Super Bowl's but arrogantly opted to take the ball out of the hands of Marshawn Lynch in one of the most obvious and simple run the ball scenarios in league history. He's kind of overrated.

I think their logic is to give the job to someone that can bring stability and build a winning culture at the Raiders. It’s possible that Carroll is a short term hire, perhaps 3-4 seasons, then hands the reins over to a chosen successor that builds on what is established over those seasons. 

Granted, there’s an argument to hire an up-and-coming coach that can be there for a decade plus, but I suspect the likes of Johnson and Coen probably wouldn’t have wanted the job because of the instability and lack of a QB. For someone like Carroll, it’s not as big an issue because he’s not likely to be a long term hire. 

That said, I’m surprised they didn’t consider Ron Rivera. 2023 was a bad year, but he did a solid job helping establish the foundation that Dan Quinn has built on.

Gets to two super bowls in a row, isn’t the offensive coordinator, is overrated. 
 

Got it.

It's a stretch too far if anyone is going to tell me Pete Carroll had absolutely no input on that call. He wanted to try and give Russell Wilson the "glory" at the end there and it ended catastrophically. Furthermore in Wilson's time there it has been documented and confirmed he was treated one way different from some of his teammates who were held to a different standard by Pete Carroll and his staff.

Even furthermore the one Super Bowl Pete Carroll won was coincidentally the worst Super Bowl I've ever seen. That was not even a contest. From the first snap. The Broncos were dead in the water. Peyton Manning was throwing ducks all over the place. Absolute trash. Honestly I think just about any other team that year would have wiped the floor with those Broncos. The least impressive Super Bowl win in history IMO.

Anyways. He didn't ever get back there again did he?

      I think Indiana will win it all but Miami should give them a much better fight than Oregon did.

      If you need some ‘chills’ to start your Friday….

      When I tell people I was at that game, they usually say oh that’s so cool you had the experience. I call it soul crushing. Why? The weeks and months leading up to it were great, the team was fun to watch every week…some weeks the offense was unstoppable and carried the team (saints and giants road games), other times the defense carried the load (jaguars, tampa). Lots of back and forth games against good teams (Seattle and Indy). Good young players on the team, but the veteran leadership was incredible…from Cam, Olsen, Kalil and J Stew to Luke, TD, Norman, Tillman, Jared Allen, CJ. Role players like Fozzy Whitaker, Cotchery (he caught that MFer), Philly brown, Kyle love, AJ Klein, and so on.  The Friday before the nfc championship my wife and I after a few drinks said let’s see what prices look like for flights/accommodations and we got to talking about how much prices would increase if we waited until we found out if we would be in the big game. We said screw it, we are only out $200 if we have to cancel.  Of course we come out and just pulverized the cardinals in front of the most raucous crowd by far we’ve ever had. We had no idea what we would do for game tickets and then found out a neighbor who worked for the team could get us 2 for face value (each employee got two of their own for free, something cool that JR did).  But then the NFL mafia decided that the storyline of manning going out on top like Elway would give them more goodwill than a non traditional QB who didn’t connect with their target demo and the rest is history. I never have and never will watch that game again. I am just hoping I can see them win one in the 2nd half of my life.
