05:56 AM ET 10.03 | Pete Carroll apparently just could not resist. Asked Tuesday to assess the job Jim Harbaugh is doing as Stanford's first-year coach, Carroll praised the former NFL quarterback's competitive attitude and said, among other things, "Jimmy never did make himself into a statesman. . . . He's not real politically correct all the time, and I don't think he cares." After Carroll completed a lengthy answer, he paused five seconds for dramatic effect, then added, "He has not checked in with me about any of my career moves. I expect a call late in the week." Carroll's final statement was in reference to comments Harbaugh made last spring when he said Carroll would be at USC only one more year.

A war of words between Pete Carroll and Harbaugh is akin to the ****'s locking horns with the the Somalians.....Harbaugh being the Somalians ofcourse...

"Why not HAL....?"

Is this the same Jim H. that played for the Colts and got his nose broke like 4 times, and half his teeth knocked out? Good ol' days......I felt sorry for the guy...the offensive line just let ppl run right through them.

I think it was on purpose.

Yes Forna...same chode....also the same guy that Ditka literally ripped a new CORN HOLE into during a MNF game back in the day.

October 3, 2007  10:09 AM ET

And what for you ask?

Ditka was angry with Harbaugh for being a dumbazz

October 3, 2007  10:09 AM ET

I know...I was shocked as well

October 3, 2007  10:53 AM ET

Mmm....HOLE KERNELS OF CORN...much easier on the mouth than taking it straight from the COB.

what's the point spread this week? 40+?

Truth is Petie won't stay at South Central Pen much longer if he can't take them to another BCS title game. Harbaugh is right.

domertom-
You're clueless and your claims are completely unfounded. PC has no reason to leave, he is the king of LA, bringing in the best recruiting classes year after year.
Your "South Central Pen" crack shows your ignorance to the diversity found in the neighborhood around the campus of USC.
Go blame Ty Willingham for your 0-9 start this year. 10 yrs & $30M smooth.

Domertom.....im with Marinsur4.....show us your IQ....what next you'll say its the University of South Central....USC....duh......he might be another Irish.....we don't need a stinking NFL team when we have the Trojans...who can probably beat some of those 0-4 teams....

This just goes to show that even though the Pac 10 may be one of the best conferences this year, it's still boring. The SEC wins out both on and off the field, still. And this coming from and ND fan!

October 3, 2007  04:07 PM ET

FYI MARINsur4 & mic'; I've got a Phd. and no doubt Cal and Oregon will make you pout......again.

October 3, 2007  04:13 PM ET

MARINsur4; "I've experienced the wonders of your campus and surrounding neighborhood"........thanks but no thanks!

Take it easy, Pete. You don't want to rile old Hairbag. He might hurl a few more insults before he's out the door at Stanford. (Hairbag = my dead grandma's ****.)

ha, zero chance you have a doctorate. if you are smart enough to write a dissertation, you are smart enough to know not to knock a lower-income community solely based on the socio-economic standards of its residents. enjoy your winter, good luck getting to one of weis' supple teats.

October 3, 2007  05:37 PM ET

Pete will have a tough choice to make if Norv Turner and AJ Smith get canned in San Diego. I think that this job would be appealing for Coach Carroll
