Pete Carroll is expected to leave USC for Seattle to be the next head coach of the Seahawks, according to a report from Chris Mortensen. “It is expected to happen,” Mortensen wrote in a tweet Friday afternoon.
Carroll has plenty of NFL experience. Along with spending several years as an assistant, he was also a head coach for the Jets and Patriots for four seasons in the late 90’s. His record as an NFL coach was 33-31.
At USC, he’s obviously had massive success, although this season was a down year for the Trojans, who lost four games.

this makes no sense
Carroll hasn’t been involved with the NFL in 10 years and the Seahawks are in need of a modern approach, not a dinosaur who was never any good in the NFL to begin with. If Carroll is the GM this makes even less sense. At least I can watch home games from the friendly confines of my home next year.

Agreed.
I completely agree. He has been out of the NFL for 10 years yes…plus he was a very mediocre coach. he took a superbowl team and in 3 seasons, got it to 8-8…impressive stuff.
I would not even agree with it as coach, let alone as president. I guess its the prestige of USC talent under him and they think he could evaluate talent in the front office. this is dumb. its like when the browns gave butch davis complete control.
