Pete Carroll

Personally, I think Johnson is going to Washington. He has a pick to get his franchise QB, and will be given free reign over an offense that has some key pieces already. People are underestimating Josh Harris, he will get somebody like Adam Peters and lure Ben Johnson in. 

I think Gus Bradley, Dave Canales, or Dan Quinn end up in Seattle. They are a sentimental fan base and I can see them bringing one of their own back.

Pete the Cheat broke every rule in the book at USC and F’d the program so badly they still ain’t recovered and took a promotion to the NFL. 
 

that play call in the Super Bowl against the Pats that lost them the game - IMO that’s the single worst play call I’ve ever seen. Sure, the panthers offense was a joke this year and also called horrible plays routinely but pound for pound, the magnitude of the game, legacies on the line—— that is the worst play call in NFL history at least in my life time.

I had a conversation with some old college teammates and they asked me, "What coach would you want to play for in the NFL?"  It was too hard for stupid former football players who were retelling ancient memories and exaggerated war stories that defy the actual statistics and facts, but here was my Mt. Rushmore:

1. Andy Reid

2. Pete Carroll

3. Mike Tomlin

4. John Harbaugh

It was hard not putting Ryans, Saleh, Shanahan, and McDaniel on that list, so I developed a second Mt Rushmore of coaches I think I would like to play for.


The Mt Rushmore of coaches I would not like to play for:

1.  Bill Belichick

2. Sean Payton

3.  Mike McCarthy

4. Nick Sirianni

 

So it was written.

Along with his accomplishments, not much more needs to be said. I’m all for going after him for HC barring a Harbaugh union

no. i love this forum simply b/c anytime anything happens someone makes a post saying we should get him. Carrol is 72. he's also staying on as a consultant or some bs job.

Pete isn’t on the market. He’s stepping down and becoming an advisor for Seattle.

He’s basically retiring.

we'll see... he seemed pretty clear in his multiple press conferences since the end of the season that he badly wanted to keep coaching the Seahawks. when asked if he still wanted to coach/would coach elsewhere he basically said "no comment" not "no I'll stay with the Seahawks." This is a pure firing -- Pete has class and has made it amicable but I think there's a solid chance he'll consider a HC job somewhere else.

 

Reality is Carroll is one of the greatest NFL head coaches of all time and despite his age he'd be the best coach in team history and probably bring us back to back winning seasons for the first time within his first 3-4 years. Would be stupid not to consider him if he is open to opportunities.

    • The much shorter and less number analytical version of the above is that the T-Mac pick wasn't about giving Bryce an alpha receiver this season that dominates the targets. It was about shifting the rest of the WRs down a peg in their role to give Bryce better options this year while giving us a true #1 to take over next year when Thielen retires or signs somewhere else. It's to let XL and Coker grow this year as the 3rd and 4th option instead of the 2nd and 3rd option, so that they are then ready to step into those increased roles in 2026. Expectations are different than real possibilities. It's very POSSIBLE for T-Mac to get to 1k this year, but I think it's unfair to put that EXPECTATION on him leading into the season due to the other options Bryce will have at his disposal this year.
    • Did you read my post though, I very clearly pointed out why T-Mac is in a situation that is nothing remotely like those 4 last year, so let's try again.... Malik Nabers had 1,204 yards, the next 3 best pass catchers on that team... Wan'Dale Robinson (699 yards), Darius Slayton (573), Theo Johnson (331) Brian Thomas Jr had 1,282 yards, the next 3... Brenton Strange (411), Parker Washington (390), Christian Kirk (379) Ladd McConkey had 1,149 yards, the next 3... Quentin Johnston (711), Josh Palmer (584), Will Dissly (481) Bowers had 1,194 yards, the next 3... Jacoby Meyers (1,027), Tre Tucker (529), Alexander Mattisdon (294) I'm not going to pretend I'm an expert on the games of all those next 3 players behind rookies, but I don't think it's at all a stretch to say that Thielen, XL, and Coker next year will ALL be better than EVERY player on that list with the possible exception of Jacoby Meyers. If you can't see how having Thielen, XL, and Coker on the team will take more targets from T-Mac than Nabers, BTJ, Ladd, and Bowers had taken from them with the rest of their Top 4 options on their teams, then you're just fooling yourself. Even looking at 2 years ago, Puka was the only rookie to get there, and his next 3 leading receivers were Kupp (737 in 12 games), HIgbee (495), and Atwell (483).  But this was also with the team having 4,300 receiving yards too, and if we have 4,300 yards in the passing game this year, then yes, I don't care what anyone else gets, T-Mac better be getting 1,000 or it will be a bad season for him. If you can't see that putting expectations on T-Mac in a vacuum because of what past rookies have been able to do, without any regard to the players on the team around him, then that's on you, sorry. So for you then, it sounds like you expect those yard to come from Thielen's total and that's what gets T-Mac over the 1k mark, which is a totally fair and valid prediction or expectation. Again, I'm not saying I don't think T-Mac will get to 1,000 yards. I'm saying it's not fair to have that as the EXPECTATION for him going into the season when you look at the offensive talent we have this year. Those are two VERY different things. If you EXPECT XL or Coker to take a step back and not improve this year, or if you EXPECT Thielen to finally lose a step and not come close to the 1k yard mark himself, then yes, I think EXPECTING 1,000 yards from T-Mac is perfectly acceptable in any or all of those situations and I'd then agree with you myself. But I don't expect those things.   I do expect XL and Coker to continue to improve. I do expect Thielen to have one more season of being the same guy he has been for us the last 2 years.  He's averaged 60.3 yards per game in his two years here, which would be a 1,025 yard season in 17 games.   It's going to be VERY hard if not impossible for XL and Coker to improve, Thielen to be the same player for us, and T-Mac get to 1,000 yards all in the same season.  If all 4 of those things happen, then as I've said before, Bryce might be a legitimate MVP contender as it means he's putting up video game like numbers, as it's hard to have 4 WRs who all produce like that in one season. Your argument of T-Mac not getting to 1,000 meaning either he didn't work out or the offense didn't work out, isn't fair, as there is a very real possibility that the offense clicks, all 4 of those WRs work out, and because of it, all 4 of them have suppressed stats this year compared to what they might have been able to put up without one or more of the other guys on the same team.
