ESPN Reporting Pete Carroll May Leave USC For The Seattle Seahawks
Friday, January 8th, 2010
Breaking news in the world of The NFL and College Football. If a report from ESPN.com is true USC Football head coach Pete Carroll might be on the verge of leaving Southern California to sign a contract and become coach of the Seattle Seahawks.
The Seahawks fired their current head coach Jim Mora earlier Friday, the first time in team history a coach was let go after just one season. Speculation around the National Football League and NCAA has now shifted to Pete Carroll leaving the University of Southern California – taking over for Jim Mora and officially returning to the NFL after head coaching stints with the New England Patriots and the New York Jets.
ESPN sources close to Pete Carroll have stated, “You’re about to see a big headline that shakes up the major college football world,” and that Carroll leaving USC for the Seattle Seahawks was “going down.”
As excited as we are here at SaveFans! for this weekend’s upcoming NFL Wildcard games we are even more shocked by this news. Pete Carroll IS College Football in Los Angeles (really he is FOOTBALL since Los Angeles has no NFL team) and the thought of him leaving could put USC’s recent domination of the Pac-10 Conference and NCAA football in serious jeopardy.
So the million dollar question is…
Is Pete Carroll really quitting USC to coach the Seahawks? Could Carroll actually step down at SC after reestablishing the Trojans as the West Coast’s premiere division 1 college football program?
We will believe this story when we hear an official announcement that Pete Carroll has left USC for the Seattle Seahawks. Until then we will file it under the Urban Meyer stepping down at University of Florida file…
Football fans rejoice! The NFL season is nearly upon us and something is different this year… SaveFans! is launched and now you can
Brett Favre is consistently inconsistent. Last year the question heard around the NFL was is Brett a member of the Green Bay Packers, is he retired, or is he a part of The New York Jets? This year’s story sounded eerily similar… Jets, retired… Now… unretired… Minnesota Vikings.
As some of you may or may not know the Buffalo Bills signed a $78 million deal to play eight games over the next five years in good ol’ Toronto Ontario. Yes yes… break out those Ketchup Chips and Smarties because the NFL has now taken residency in the great white north, Canada. Dubbed the “Bills Toronto Series” the 5 regular season games and 3 preseason games played in Canada represent a first for a NFL – annual home games outside the U.S. Seeing how SaveFans! loves Canada… and football… we think this marriage is great. Now if we could only get an NFL team in Los Angeles… In the meantime Bills fans, Torontonians, Canadians, NFL fans, whoever you may be, pay what you want for tickets to this year’s
