    Pros: Pete won big at USC which is a hard place to win at. Only guy to win big there in the past 40 yrs. Also he basically invented NIL.

    Cons: I fucking hate old people.

    At least he’s not fat.

    The thing I hate about Pete is that his age would be used against him. Not sure that matters as much in this mercenary world that college football is now.

    What I love about Pete is his program would be fun and he sure as hell would have a chip on his shoulder. He would recruit hard and is obsessed with winning. I could be convinced.

    This is where I’m at. Massive chip. Massively motivated. Infectious energy. And, a Rolodex of coaches to staff up. College now is more like the pros anyways.
    If Mack brown can get unc to a fringe top 25 program Carroll can get us to a top 12 I think. Would get some LA kids. This could potentially resurrect my doog boner.
    What a big dick move that would be. My doog boner would rage for at least 4 hours before my hospital visit where they would remove my boner. How is that even accomplished? Unrelated, but now I'm curious.
    Needle aspiration.
    Fuck yeah. I learned something today.

    I’d love it if it happened, but I think it’s a low probability event.

    Should start a "Things less likely than Pete Carroll becoming UWs HC" thread and see what happens. Could be a lot of weird takes. Regardless, we definitely need another thread about something.

    If I could figure out how to upload from my phone I would.

    I'm on board with this.

    It's Pete fucking Carroll. Every High School football player knows who that is. He can recruit. He will recruit. He sputtered a bit with the Seahawks, but that doesn't mean he can't still be successful at the college level.

    That is of course assuming we can't get a promising up-and-comer like Jed Fisch.

    Pete gets the chance at redemption and revenge in the city where he was just fired. 12 heads would implode. I'm now fully on-board.

    Fisch you know will leave, but won't know when so you can't plan for the transition. Carroll you will know at the outset and can have a seamless transition to keep it rolling. I also think he would just be a far better recruiter than Fisch.

    I think the doctor sticks a needle in your dick to drain the blood.

    Forgive me if I’ve said this before, but I’m worried Pete Carroll would be Chip Kelly at UCLA all over again.

    Respectively disagree. I think @AtomicDawg reference to Mack Brown is more accurate. I live in the Carolinas and Mack is not Pete. Pete’s a Hall of Famer in the pros and college. Realistically, I think it’s unrealistic. But, it would be epic if it happened.
