Pete Carroll to seahawks??

[scpanther22]

:confused:

ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports that the Seahawks have made USC's Pete Carroll their No. 1 target to replace fired head coach Jim Mora, and that the sides have "strong mutual interest."

Now this is interesting. Seahawks owner Paul Allen undoubtedly has the money to lure Carroll away, and Mortensen says talks have gotten so hot and heavy that he'd be "surprised" if Carroll isn't Seattle's next coach. ESPN's Adam Schefter also says he'd heard recently that Carroll wanted back into the pros. Carroll, 58, has been in at Southern Cal since the 2001 season. According to Mortensen, the Seahawks are interviewing Vikings DC Leslie Frazier only as a formality to satisfy the Rooney Rule.

Makes sense...bad year at USC abandons a sinking ship

good, Seattle will still be weak when we face them then

I'm sure Leslie Frasier will get more interest, though...even if they don't really want him. That guy's gotta be getting tired of flying all over to interview for jobs that he knows he won't get.

With the ongoing NCAA investigation, him being accused of marital infidelity, and the fact that he obviously hasn't learned his lesson, I wouldn't be surprised to see him jump.

Turned them down

Vikings defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier has reportedly denied the Seahawks' attempt to interview him for their head coaching opening.

Frazier heard ESPN's report that he was only a tool to satisfy the Rooney Rule with and declined, as any self-respecting and quality head coaching candidate would. The Seahawks will now have a hard time satisfying the rule, unless they can get Redskins DBs coach Jerry Gray to roll over like Dan Snyder did.

Mort reports he already declined the Seahawks interview request because he saw through their sham.

As much as I want it to be true, if Mortensen is reporting he's leaving, Carroll probably just signed a 20 year extension at USC.

Mort also said not to believe the Fox-to-CLE speculation and voila! Mangini kept his job.

He wouldn't do well where he actually has to rely on coaching a team. USC wins on talent. When they have the players they cruise. They didn't this year and it showed.

Wow what a huge limb for him to climb out on.

mort is a retard

[UNCrules2187]

Wow what a huge limb for him to climb out on.

To be honest though, most people did expect Mangini to be fired.

Believe it when I see it.
