RedBaron +1WHY???-
FlyMaster Exactly...Why? This is just the Falcons trick of making it seem like the job is appealing. Hmmm...let me think should I stay at a potential National Championship place or go to the worst team in the NFL? Not a tough decision.

kgoon1590 Pete Carroll has NFL head coaching experience, but I really feel like he's a coach that loves college ball. On the other hand, does he really have anything left to prove? He's definitely one of the top three college fooball active coaches, if not the best. -
JaketheSnake Has there been an NFL coaching job in the last 5 years that Pete Carroll hasn't been linked to? -

... do with this. The compensation supposedly came from New Era Sports & Entertainment on the condition Bush would sign with them when he went pro. But it still happened under Carroll’s watch and I doubt he was completely blind to the whole thing. And I find it somewhat telling that for the past couple years NFL teams have put Carroll’s name in the mix for a head coaching spot and Carroll has been all “no thanks, borskis,” but now with this Atlanta job open, he seems more than a little interested. (I suppose the timing on these two ...

... Coast; where Carroll has enjoyed so much success as the coach at USC.
A lot of my fellow Footballguys have questioned my assertion, wondering a) why Carroll would ever want to leave the confines of USC where he can contend for major bowls every year and make as much as most NFL coaches, and b) why an NFL team would be willing to throw Carroll all the $$$ in the world given the recent lack of success college coaches have brought to bear.
Today comes news that Carroll is genuinely interested in the Atlanta Falcons job.

Sources: USC’s Carroll Interested in Falcons’ Opening
Published 1/10/2008 by Ryan Wilson at Football Outsiders
Sources: USC’s Carroll Interested in Falcons’ Opening I understand that becoming an NFL head coach is an intriguing notion for many college coaches. But I have no idea why USC’s Pete Carroll would be interested in the Atlanta job. First, it’s the Atlanta job. Second, Carroll’s done the professional football thing; he seems much better suited for the college game. I know, I know, competitive spirit, facing a challenge head on and all that, but the Falcons? If Carroll’s truly interested in returning to the NFL, shouldn’t he ease into it? Maybe coach up the Redskins for a few ...

Don’t do it
Published 1/10/2008 by Angela at Boston Brat
Falcons looking toward Pete Carroll for their next head coach.
Don’t get me wrong - I like Pete Carroll. Super duper nice guy, handsome, and genuine. I know he’s done a lot with his kids at USC, and I always root for the team for that sole reason. But a pro coach he does not make.
He’s nice to a fault. And in Atlanta, they need a boss, not a buddy. That team is in dire need of a major overhaul. I can’t picture Pete doing that.
I can’t imagine Lawyer Milloy as being too enthused about playing for his old coach. Which ...

Why Pete Carroll is talking to Atlanta

... So Pete Carroll is reportedly talking to the Atlanta Falcons about possibly being their next head coach.
People always seem to wonder why Carroll would even consider leaving USC, considering all the success he’s had there (including one national championship) and how it would be really easy for him to continue his success there.
But we’re human folks. We always wonder if the grass on the other side is greener. We wonder if we could be the best at the highest level.
That doesn’t mean he’s going to leave for ...

... He wants to take him to a gay bar. For some reason, Pete Carroll is allegedly going to talk to Arthur Blank about the Falcons job this coming Wednesday, perhaps out of pure courtesy, perhaps because for some reason he wants to leave college football heaven and unparalleled success for the shitheap of the Atlanta Falcons. And the reason he would want to do that is unfathomable, unless somewhere in Pete Carroll’s defensive brain lurks a glowing, undying shred of moron. Or perhaps Arthur Blank simply wants to take him to a gay bar, and has something to put into ...
