PETE CARROLL TO ARIZONA CARDINALS?

Β 

Someone mentioned to me the possibility of USC coach Pete Carroll taking over the Arizona Cardinals months ago, and I reported it. Now I'm hearing the rumblings again. Carroll wants to prove that he can succeed at football's highest level. He's a West Coast guy who never really fit in with the New England Patriots and New York Jets. Coaching the Arizona Cardinals? I'm told Carroll would consider that. Sources tell me that Arizona will fire Dennis Green, so it looks as if the job certainly will be open. Carroll would listen to the Cardinals if the money is right ($4-5 million a year). And Carroll would want control of the works. Arizona would need to consider Carroll, given his relationship with the franchise's face for the future: Matt Leinart. If Leinart is happy, the Cardinals figure to get better, which is vital if the franchise hopes to keep filling that new stadium.

it likely wouldnt happen till after signing day

plus, USC would get a big time coach, thats too good of job

Personally, I don't think it'll happen; but if it does, expect the Titans' Jeff Fisher or the Jaguars' Jack Del Rioβ€”both Southern California alumsβ€”to be hot priorities for the Southern California head coaching job.

mariucci is another name

I agree TD but, what about those recruits who want to come and play for Petey and he ends up leaving.What will that say to the recruits?I'm just hoping that it will help with a couple of recruits in Cal.You know more than I do how many recruits read this stuff on the NEt.Just IMO. :lol:

i don't see him leaving right now, he's built too good of a program to just leave.

Sure, but what's a NC compared to the Superbowl?

I completely agree.

Shorter season and less work. If he keeps up his recruiting then he is guaranteed 10 wins a year in the Pac-10. Gets to live in California.

Why would he leave?

I think we're more likely to see Mucc go to Arizona than Petey go to AZ and Mucc go to USC. Like CW, Petey has stated hundreds of times that he is staying put. Pete already tried the pros and flopped so there is no reason to try again and leave his comfy job in SC. The man is a hero there, why would he leave? Look at what happened to Spurrier!!

HAVE MONEY WILL TRAVEL SAYS LITTLE PETE, GOOD POST , WE HEAR THE SAME RUMBLINGS . OK WITH ME AFTER WE BEAT SC :lol: :lol:

It wouldn't matter. If poodle leaves, it WILL affect recruiting for next year's class in a significant way. No recruit likes uncertainty, and the next big time coach would bring his own staff and a boat load of uncertainty with him to USC. If this is true it would be huge for the PAC-10 and for ND in recruiting.

He has already been to the pinnacle of college football 3...I mean once. But has produced 2 Heisman winners. I would love any of those coaches previously mentioned to go to USC, b/c I don't think they can repeat what Petie has done.

every year there is speculation that Carroll will leave and he always denies it saying he wants to stay at USC.

id love to see him go, and i would love for it to be known all around recruiting that he could leave so that it could effect recruits that want to play for him.

Even though I hate him, I have to admit he's better than Dennis Green.

I can't see Carroll going back to the NFL... for what? The hours are longer, the critics are harsher... the pay is about the same.

Β 

He's a celebrity in LA... he gets tons of press. In AZ... he wouldn't enjoy the same national notoriety.

Β 

At USC, he's in position to challenge for a NC every year. In AZ, he'll be lucky to get a winning pre-season.

Β 

If he'd trade what he's worked hard to establish (a premiere program) for a chance to win on the next stage... he's got some serious personal demons to exorcise, and all the power to him.

Β 

If wants to go back to pro.. it's not about money or fame, he's got that... it's about proving to a coaching community that he's the real deal.

Β 

Anyway, I'd rather have Carroll at USC than Jeff Fisher... I think Fisher is a better coach.

Hello guys, I have been feeling that Pete would be leaving within two years? Everything said about the positives in him staying are all good points. But if he gets stuck with recruiting violations or other mis-appropriations...then why coach a "lame duck" team...regardless of its storied history?

Β 

There is a reason for the rumors...timing is everything?
