There are college coaches and NFL coaches. I think he is in the arena he was made for.

And how are the NFL teams gonna compete with his clause about getting to rent the songgirls at half price?

Stay where you are. College football is better off with you. You have a wonderful thing going.

Pete needs to stay where he is. He tried the NFL it didnt work. No need to try it again.

Pete won't go back to the pros. He knows that he's made for the college game. He's well paid, he's on his way to becoming a legend at this level, and he's the King of L.A. He makes enough at SC that it won't be worth it for a little more to give all of that up.

Logic doesn't always win over ego in these situations. I agree that he should stay but it wouldn't surprise me if he wants to try and overcome his previous NFL failure...

Agreed
I watched him on the Pats sideline for a few years and he had that deer in the headlights look too often. The players didn't buy into his college rah rah emotion, and his frustration with some of his players not respecting him all that much was obvious. Its just the opposite at USC.
He's got a good thing going, and if he tries the NFL and flops again, where does he go from there--TV Commentator?

Another year, another option for Carroll...what's new?

Pete is the King of Los Angeles. Makes bank, amazing weather, gets the best HS players in the Nation... and they play HARD for him. Oh, and he contends for a National Title every year and settles for a Rose Bowl victory. Life for Mr. Carroll is GOOD... why go and EFF it up by taking over for the Browns or Raiders?

Honestly? Your coaching a pro football team in college so why in the world would this be a consideration

I bet somewhere deep down this article was originally written in 2004? Any most likely by Bill (Ladyboy) Platshke

Pete will stay at USC, but he'd be the first call I made if I secured an expansion team for LA (which has to happen at some point). That would probably tempt him more than, say, the Detroit job.

New beach house. nice weather, a great fit (as coach), $4 million, great run, school with great history and academics (for the Irish fans), his foundation, and I'm just guessing, a deep desire to coach this team from tripping up 1 game a year. Probably, 20 more reasons to stay.


I'M IN..........

As an OU fan I would love to see Carroll move on to the NFL. He and his staff do a great job of recruiting. I know as a Sooner fan I always cringe at the thought of playing SC.

he pretty much has an nfl team now.LA has no nfl team. why leave to go to a crappy team in the nfl? or have a team that is consistantly in the top 10 . i wonder?

He, like Saban, would have his pick of the best college jobs.

Pete Carroll has arguably the most plum coaching job in football. Why would he take a demotion to coach in the No Fun League? The odds of that happening are somewhere between zero and zero percent.

I wonder how much the NFL would fine him for wearing home jerseys at an away game?
