Will Pete Carroll leave USC at the end of the season?

Question

Recently Stanford's new head coach Harbaugh suggested this will be Pete's last year at USC and will jump ship to the NFL. Do you think he'll want to test the waters again after being chased out of New England?

Answer 1

HAHAHA Man Harbaugh is dreaming isn't he? Come on Carroll has had a job offer from almost every Franchise in the last few years. I believe San Diego offered him a job. Wouldn't you want that job? Good team, young players, not going to have to move very fair. He didn't take it though. Miami wanted to get him. The owner was willing to pay what it would cost to get him. He had a blank check offered to him basically, and would likely have a lot of control. Not as good of a team as San Diego BUT he would have the control. Didn't want the job. He doesn't want an NFL job or he would have taken one by now. Can't blame Harbaugh for his fantasy though. If you were in the Pac-10 wouldn't you want Carroll to go back to the NFL? Although I think Stanford made a mistake letting Walt Harris go. Yeah he was having big problems, BUT it wasn't his team yet, it's going to be a harder school to recruit to(remember he came from Pitt and where would you rather go Pitt, a school with a history as a powerhouse, or Stanford, and who knows them for football). I think you give Harris time to get his system in and players who play his style, and he would have done better. Heck look how Pitt was screwed up. You can't go in and totally change the system and expect things to work in 1 or 2 years.

Answer 2

Only if he knows something with USC getting a recruiting ban from the NCAA.

So, let's get the rumor straight. A competitor said, "hey, don't go to USC because Pete Carrol is a big fat liar."

Answer 3

Pete's program now draws the best recruits available, its because of his program that the team is so successful...even after losing his offensive coordinator his heisman QB , bush, and the big receiver this year USC will still be a top team, loaded with young talent...I know theres a shortage of good pro coaches, but he makes as much if not more than most of them and is in one of the top college coaching spots in the nation...he wont budge...

Answer 4

He won't leave, he's already been to the NFL and he came back. There is no way that he would leave USC just to try it again. Besides, he has one of the best football coaching jobs in the nation as it is, college or professional.
