It's Now Official: Carroll To Seahawks
NFL.com is now reporting that Carroll to the Seahawks is official. We had a lot of "Sources say it's 99.99999% there" yesterday, but this is from straight from the NFL itself.:
Carroll has reached to an agreement with the Seahawks on the major principles in a contract to become coach and director of football operations, but has not signed a contract, according to La Canfora.

you know, if this goes through (and it probably will), it makes Tedford the longest serving Pac-10 coach.

Longest continuously serving, at least. Riley has more seasons at OSU, I think.

OK this is totally off the subject, but has anyone seen this? This story is funny but sad at the same time. Why is it even news? And why would he steal $20?

solja boyeee
can’t wait to see it in Seatle in an effort to keep the team “loose”

oh yeah
Carrol’s forever douchey in my mind for that one. fuck him.

i’ll bet a few jump ship regardless. some will definitely stay. the rest will wait and see 1) who the next coach is, and 2) whether any sanctions are likely to come down in the reggie bush case. if SC bungles the first or gets hurt by the second, recruiting could really suffer.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
The fall of Troy
how good does this sound?
USC loses
taylor mays, joe McKnight, Stephan johnson, damion williams, josh pinkard, anthony mccoy ,Odowd is supposed to declare. and losing the O coordinator and Head coach, Ouch.
No excuses for Tedford and Cal
the big bad boogey monster has left the Pac10.
Tedford was feeling the heat and it is only going to increase if he can’t bring a Pac10 title home now that Carrol has left USC.
I don’t really see USC falling THAT far unless they hire a total bozo. Let’s hold off and see who the Trojans get.

i think theres a 2-3 year window
untill usc gets back on track i mean they lose a heck of a lot this year but still by the time the new coach settles in his system the name of the program will drive recruits back
USC was already losing a lot of talent this year and now losing Pete
no way should SC win the Pac10 next season. Plus, I am still not sold on Barkley.
Truth is, SC has never been this down during the Tedford era, this is our best shot to beat the Trojans and at the very least finish ahead of them in the Pac10.
USC still has plenty of top 10 recruiting classes the past four years…this is a very talented squad (7th this year, 4th last year, 8th in 2008, 2nd in 2007, 1st in 2006 according to rivals) and it’s wishful thinking that they’re now an easy out for any Pac-10 team.

Well they did lose four Pac10 games this year and just about every school
but WSU and Cal played SC close.
The days of a dominant SC are over. They won’t be easy or WSU status but they had fallen a peg before Carrol left and they could fall another one after he is gone.
Oregon’s going to win the next six Pac-10 titles!!! And lose the next six Rose Bowls to Ohio State!

It has been apparent that SC has been falling back to the pack
these last few years.
SC has not been as dominate as those Leinart, Bush, White years. Some of that is due to other Pac10 teams closing the talent gap, some of those top recruits not living up to their potential, and coaching turnover at SC.
The only constant that has held it all together has been Pete, with him gone I think a lot more cracks in the SC empire start to show.
SC was going to eventually come back down to earth and other Pac10 schools were going to start catching them.
Umm… USC was the best team in the country in 2008, and it was a travesty that they didn’t play in the NC game. Their D was unbelievable, and so was their resume.
That said, I thought this year would be a down one, and now future years are too.

And I think the ‘closing of the gap’ is more of a familiarity and scheme thing

How many current SC coaches does Pete take with him to Seattle
and how many leave now that Carrol is gone. SC is about to experience a lot of coaching changes.
Remember...
when Florida State never lost in ACC play? Now they lose to Wake Forest regularly. Every run ends and coaching changes can accelerate it.
Cal on the other hand is biding time until we finally have a facility up to par with the rest of the league. After that, watch out.
I see this a lot. Are Cal’s facilities really that antiquated? SC’s football facilities aren’t exactly Oregonian in nature, but I don’t think that’s been holding the team back the last several years.
Visitor locker room ranking
Here is ranking of visitor locker room for PAC 10. We are the last. Keep in mind this is just visitor locker, but you get the idea….
http://www.usctrojans.com/blog/2009/11/road-warriors-ranking-the-pac-10-visitors-locker-rooms.html
9. Memorial Stadium (California)
Want to be instantly miserable? Walk into Cal’s visitor’s locker room. The tiny, ancient quarters define depressing and decrepit in oh so many ways. The actual locker room itself is all but falling apart, the showers and bathroom lack any comforts and there’s no room for trainers or equipment staffers to set up shop (they end up taking over a shower room). Also, it’s essentially in the concourse, so you can smell the hot dogs and popcorn and hear the crowd. And lastly, the journey to the field includes a walk down windy, rickety steps, a downhill walk down a narrow tunnel and then a walk up a set of stairs to get to field level. Though the score is relatively close between Cal’s visitor’s locker room and the others in the conference, it’s not even a contest that this one takes the title. So congrats go out to Memorial Stadium; you win — lose? — this competition.
That’s quite the luxury facility there. I assume that unlike Autzen Stadium, the home team locker room isn’t too much better?
yep.
all the offices, weight room, locker room, etc. are in the amount of space designed for just game day locker rooms for a team of 40, not 100.

Behind the curtain and through double doors is a dank vault furnished in long blue benches. While loading gear into lockers that look like orange crates, Michigan State equipment coordinator Bob Knickerbocker thought back upon his 35 years humping gear to stadiums and admitted that this visitors facility was the most cramped and antiquated he had seen.
To make it all fit, he put the lockers of his smaller players – quarterbacks and kickers – in the closet-sized anteroom. The adjacent shower room became the training room, where players were taped and massaged while admiring the pro-Cal graffiti left on the walls. “Bear Territory,” it read, and not far off in its description.
“I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s like a meat locker in here,” said Michigan State equipment manager Dylan Marinez as he unloaded trunks full of gear. He’d have to load it all back onto a truck parked outside the gate during the first half so the shower/training room could be turned into a halftime meeting room. By game’s end it was a shower room again, if players didn’t mind waiting. There are only 12 overhead nozzles. Offense showers first, then defense.
Renovating the visitor’s locker room isn’t planned in Phase I of the SAHPC.

Coaching Carroll-sel: updated information!
Source: Carroll not yet bound for Seattle
The Seahawks still do not have an agreement despite widespread reports, but are closing in on a coaching contract, according to a league official with direct knowledge of Seattle’s coaching search.
The official told The Associated Press Saturday the team is in "discussions" with Carroll and does not plan on giving him the additional title of president. The official added the Seahawks will hire a general manager and coach separately.
"No, they do not have an agreement. They are not there," the official told the AP, speaking on condition of anonymity because the Seahawks are not commenting on how far talks have progressed. "(Seattle) would not name him GM or president—for obvious reasons."
