agreed, just posting what i read lol.

Β 

I know the Falcons are looking at the Giants def coordinator, but were denied permission to interview him.

Not a chance. After flaming out of the NFL once, Petey isn't gonna leave USC to take over that disaster. If he goes back, it'll be for a better gig.

Thought's of him going to the Redskins given the amount of money and power Dan Snydder will give to anyone?

Petey will want all of the power and a ton of money. There aren't very many teams (owners) that will do that. The Dolphins were one of the teams, and PC turned them down. The Redskins are another team that will do that......and I do not think PC will leave the West Coast for DC. If PC was going to take an NFL job, I think Miami would have been one of the only places he would have gone.

Β 

I know the Dolphins are looking again, but Bill is there, and he isn't going to step aside to give PC all of the power he needs.

Redskins are lookin at him too but he's not going anywhere. Pete has too much of a good deal going at SC. I still find it strange that he is always willing to talk to these teams.

I dont find it odd, from my understanding of these situations, he's more likely to get a raise the more interviews with other organizations he partakes in. Look at how many coaches immediately get an extension after interviewing with another school or the pros!

if he gets full control over personnel decisions then dont be surprised if he leaves. I'm not sure it'll be this year, but maybe in the future. Dolphins wouldnt give him full reign after Saban left. Falcons are looking for a GM, so they prob wont offer that either.

Now I get it. Thanks.

just confirmed on ESPN radio. during the mike tirico show. the poodle IS interested in the atlanta position. could this be leverage????

USC coach Pete Carroll is interested in the Atlanta Falcons' head coach opening and is expected to speak with Atlanta owner Arthur Blank via phone Wednesday, sources at the American Football Coaches Convention in Anaheim told ESPN's Joe Schad.

Β 

Pete Carroll has been rumored for many head coaching vacancies in the NFL in recent years.

Β 

Blank is expected to offer full control of personnel decisions to Carroll and the sources said that is what intrigues Carroll most. Carroll is currently on vacation in Hawaii.

Β 

The Falcons' interest in talking to Carroll about their opening was first reported Tuesday night by ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli.

Β 

Carroll, who has previously been a head coach in the NFL with the New York Jets and New England Patriots, is the biggest name on the list of Atlanta candidates.

Β 

Carroll, 56, recently completed his seventh season at Southern California with a resounding victory over Illinois in the Rose Bowl. He has led the Trojans to two national championships and compiled a 76-14 record. The 14 defeats have been by an average of just 4.1 points.

Β 

Southern California was 11-2 this season and many observers felt that, had it not been for injuries, the Trojans might have vied for the national title. Carroll's .844 winning mark at Southern California is the best in the nation among active coaches with at least five seasons of experience.

Β 

Over the past few seasons, there has been rampant speculation that Carroll might be lured back to the NFL, but he has rebuffed all overtures to return to the pro game. Conventional wisdom is that Carroll would only consider an NFL job if he had full control over the football operation.

Β 

In his first NFL head coaching stint, Carroll lasted just one season with the Jets, taking the team to a 6-10 record in 1994. He coached the Patriots for three seasons, 1997-99, and was 28-23, with one division title and two playoff berths.

Β 

The Falcons suffered a bad experience this season with a coach hired from the college ranks, when Bobby Petrino, formerly of Louisville, resigned with three games remaining to fill the Arkansas vacancy. But unlike Petrino, who had been an NFL assistant for three seasons, Carroll has prior head coaching experience in the league and was an assistant coach and defensive coordinator for 12 years as well.

Β 

In the past, Carroll has listened to NFL interest from Miami, San Diego, San Francisco, Arizona and Houston.

tirico is saying, no way..............

One suspicious part of the article:

Β 

"USC coach Pete Carroll is interested in the Atlanta Falcons' head coach opening and is expected to speak with Atlanta owner Arthur Blank via phone Wednesday, sources at the American Football Coaches Convention in Anaheim told ESPN's Joe Schad"

Β 

You don't think honorable coaches such as say Urban Meyer or Rick Neuheisal would tell Schad that PC was interested to help their recruiting efforts would they?
