Did Pete punch, yell or put a student in a closet?

[Peruna_Ate_My_Rolex]

Nope but I heard he made a pass at Kate and said to her, "I heard that chump smupony94 had been asking you to take him to the Hawai'i Bowl. Stay away from that psycho loser."

On a side note, I heard Mike Garrett has Oscar The Cat at the top of his list of potential replacements.

I really dislike Pete now

Well at least with the Seahawks , the players will be payed legally.

Probably the other shoe is about to hit and all that "Microsoft" $$$$$$ makes this the right time!

I'm sure SC will make a run for Mike Riley and leave Oregon State devastated.

Garrett loves Riley and only hired PC after Riley said NO!

SC was dogmeat at the time so perhaps Riley will make the jump this time!

Should be interesting to see which direction USC goes.

SMU rising like a Phoenix and USC in limbo.

Who'd of thunk?

Sources: Seattle, Carroll agree on deal


USC Trojans
Pete Carroll has reached an agreement in principle with the Seahawks on a deal to be their next head coach, multiple NFL sources confirmed early Saturday morning.


Carroll was fully expected to be introduced by the Seahawks as early as Monday, after the team interviewed Vikings defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier on Saturday morning.

According to league sources, Frazier met with the Seahawks in Minneapolis, satisfying the Rooney Rule, which requires teams to interview a minority candidate for head-coaching and senior football-operations hires.


Seahawks CEO Tod Leiweke had told Frazier that Carroll definitely does not have Seattle's job. Frazier had been unwilling to talk with the Seahawks about the head-coaching vacancy if Carroll had been promised full control of the Seahawks. Multiple sources indicated he had been.

On Friday, Jim Mora became the first Seahawks coach to be let go after just one season when the team finished 5-11.


Seattle also contacted the agent for Chargers defensive coordinator Ron Rivera, but as of Saturday morning, nothing had been set up. An interview with Rivera also would satisfy the Rooney Rule.


But the bottom line is, Carroll's agreement with Seattle is "100 percent done," one NFL source close to the situation said.


In a text message to ESPN's Chris Mortensen on Friday, Carroll said, "You know I haven't responded to a NFL question in two years."

But a league source told Mortensen that Carroll was trying to persuade USC offensive coordinator Jeremy Bates to join him in Seattle -- as opposed to Bates pursuing the same position with the Chicago Bears.

Carroll is no stranger to the NFL, having served as the head coach for the Patriots from 1997 to 1999 and for the Jets in 1994.

He was the Jets' defensive coordinator from 1990 to 1993 after stints as the defensive backs coach for the Vikings (1985-89) and Bills (1984).

Even before the deal had been agreed to in principle, the ripple effect from Carroll's pending move was reaching beyond the NFL and college ranks.


When the news broke Friday that Carroll could be headed to Seattle, USC's incoming freshman class at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl in San Antonio began franctically calling USC's assistant coaches.

For the rest of the day, not a single USC assistant returned a single phone call, according to sources at the game.


By Saturday afternoon, some calls had been returned.


But witnesses to the scene said players such as All-American wide receiver Kyle Prater and running back Dillon Baxter could not figure out what was unfolding with Carroll.


Baxter, for one, had verbally committed to USC as a high-school freshman and never looked at another school. But now that Carroll is expected to leave USC, other schools already have begun contacting the players scheduled to enroll there in the fall with hopes they will change their minds.

Prater said on Saturday's broadcast of the All-American Bowl he has spoken to USC passing game coordinator/receivers coach John Morton and will discuss things with his family and advisers before making a decision on enrolling.

Prater said he was scheduled to fly to Los Angeles to sign with the team and enroll in classes starting Monday but will postpone the trip.
