Pete Carroll Makes Too Much Sense

If you guys hire Pete, you’re signing on to have Brennan Carroll as HC within 2-3 years. As long as you’re ok with that, then go ahead

I know it's an intangible so it can be hard gauge through the TV, but I'm still surprised how many people overlook the X factor that is top level charisma and charm.TheHB said:I think Carroll’s 14 years as head coach in the NFL, including a Super Bowl title, would do very well in living rooms and transfer portals, actually.
The SC years are gravy.
But anyone whose ever listened to him talk for more than a couple minutes is sold.
That said, he’s not my No. 1.
Carroll is an absolute magnet of a human being. He has the kind of cult leader appeal where people's eyes just glaze over when he talks. We joke about the Aurora Bridge, but Pete could actually get a gang of us together and persuade us to leap in just a matter of weeks. -
This is actual fact. I was living in LA at the time. Everybody hated this hire. I loved it as he was the 49ers DB coach and then DC in the late 80s/90s. His coaching Rolodex is huge and respect from players universal.Southerndawg said:

Pete was seriously doubted when he took the job at SC. He was no where near their first choice. He had been a players coach in the NFL and hadn't yet been able to put together a championship level team. He rolls in and it becomes crystal clear his coaching style works extremely well with kids, much more so than it did in the NFL at that time.
Pete would kill it at UW, especially in the portal and NIL era.
Caveat emptor. I’m massively dooging. -
We’re all overlooking the FREE PUB for @JetFuelSteelBeams if PC gets the job.

He's the proven version of Prime, White Prime.RoadTrip said:
I wanted Fisch for the short term access to immediate talent but the more I think about this it's healthybfor the city of Seattle. He's a fing legend and has a ton of contacts. It might not pay off in year 1 but maybe by year 3 or 4 the Dawgs can get back to the playoffs?Postal91 said:
The coach is proven winner and now he has the damn portal at his dispense. I bet you he gets real dangerous real quick and brings a ton of coaching talent that will just rip the recruiting landscape apart, sitting back chewing gum and laughing while looking over Lake Washington. -

Well fuck, let me go get my w2s! After getting bent over a barrel last year now I'm completely sold! We go from an insurance salesman to this. Done.DerekJohnson said:

If it leads to that conclusion after 2-3 years, I'm 100% fine with thatntxduck said:If you guys hire Pete, you’re signing on to have Brennan Carroll as HC within 2-3 years. As long as you’re ok with that, then go ahead
