Will Pete Carroll just be another elderly coach who now sucks?

15 years ago, we saw this with Bobby Bowden and Joe Paterno. Now, we're seeing it with Bill Belichick and Gregg Popovich. The once great coach who gets old and sucks in their old age.

I think that half the reason why Saban retired is because he realized he'd soon start sucking, too.

    I don’t know, but anyone under 19 wasn’t alive when USC won their title, so unsure how much sizzle he has anymore

    Pete still has it. Ill push back on Pop being washed on your list, too. That roster is horrid outside of Wemby.

    They may remember him winning a super bowl or being the head coach of an NFL team..... So there is that.

    Old coach just GM and specific wheelhouse stuff

    Old coach not do gameday play calling, small details, and high pressure time sensitive tasks

    its not hard.

    I've heard that about the Spurs roster, but I really can't imagine that a coach with 5 championships has zero say over what his roster is. If the roster sucks, I think that's largely Pop's fault, anyway.

    Usually the "woke" people are the people who defend who bad Pop is nowadays. I mean, the Spurs were tied for last place in the Western Conference last year, and their last winning season was about 5 years ago. And now they're somehow worse than ever after improving the roster by adding Wemby.

    I still feel like an idiot for indulging this topic, but I don’t think there’s really a great comp here. Pete is Dennis Erickson with more success at both levels and no drinking problems.

    Well, now that you bring that up, Erickson sucked in his last job at ASU. I don't remember how old he was by then.

    fucking hell some of the takes on PC on here are awful.

    age.. the man acts way more like a 52 year old than a 72 year old. This isn't Biden (TITTT).

    one of the best recruiters in the history of the Pac. No joke with that. Do a little Googling kids.

    credibility. How many still coaching have major NFL cred and major ncaa power cred.

    i do not think we will be lucky enough to land him... but holy fuck to think he wouldn't be an amazing hire is downright stupid.

    I was responding to PatsDoog's claim that the Spurs roster sucks and that Popovich doesn't suck too. I was saying that the Spurs are now on about their 5th straight losing season, they keep getting worse and worse every year (even after adding Wemby before this year), and that even if the Spurs roster sucks that's largely Popovich's fault for not demanding a better roster.

    Erickson was P10 coach of the year in his first szn at ASU. But, yes, nosedived after that the next three years. I'd argue ASU is where coaching careers end, so not the best comp

    Football coaching is bizarre

    We have coaches with zero experience getting millions of dollars and carte Blanche

    Experience? Game has passed you by
