Pete Carroll has just taken the job as had coach for the Seattle Seahawks. I think that he should of stayed at USC for more than a couple of reasons…

Pete Carroll is a college coach plain and simple.His high energy motivational techniques works in sync with the college football athlete. Young and impressional  student athletes embrace a great college coach like Carroll ,and his success speaks for itself. I love college football and coaches like him bring a tradition unmatched in any sport today.USC will sorely miss Pete ,and I think Pete will sorely miss SC when he gets a taste of the pro athlete. Coaching pro athletes is tough because are more individualistic in nature and tend to get inflated egos due to the the money they are making. Coaching college football is more about unity, team and tradition. He had a dream job to me and leaving the school is a big mistake.

I don't think Pete Carroll will be smiling after his stint in Seattle.

Carroll not only was a great motivator of young college minds but was very successful as well.He won two National Championships in his 9 year tenor as coach.He turned out countless All-Americans and NFL draft picks.He also coached three Heisman Trophy winners and had a astounding 97-18 record at SC. His teams finished seven consecutive seasons in the AP top four. You cannot do any better than Carroll in a nine year time frame as head coach. He thrived in the College game, The game needs him and SC needs him. His lost will be felt by all college football fans.

As I have stated previously this article, I think it is a big mistake for Pete Carrol to jump ship to the NFL. He will never get the satisfaction, pride and success that he enjoyed at USC in Seattle. I think he also did his recruits a dishonor by leaving them high and dry. Lets face it, Players come to school for the coaches. I wonder how Carroll feels about that. I would not want to try to coach and motivate the modern spoiled athlete. Carroll left possibly one the best jobs in the world to coach these types of players. And by the way, it is not like The Seahawks have tasted to much success lately. Case rested, you should of stayed in Southern California, Petey.
