When Pete Carroll coached at USC, I nicknamed him “Caesar” because he could do whatever he wanted.
Here’s an excerpt from a story in the Athletic today, which shows some of the same traits, and how they are apparent to quarterback Russell Wilson.

PC was the head coach and did answer to no one, mostly scottie wanted PC to answer to him…media thinks ‘freedom of the press’ means they are the final arbiters of truth and authority,which is why they are all in with communists,fascists, etc…all authoritarian regimes

I would take Pete and his sons in a minute over Claydo and the current Whack Pack!!!! Boy I miss the Pete days when we dominated the college football landscape and feared no one. One of the greatest experiences was attending the Auburn game in Alabama and nobody gave USC a chance to beat the highly ranked Tigers and we punched them in the mouth and dominated. Fight On and hopefully one day the decks will be cleared of the current trash.

I was there also. I recall Leinart having a good first game, and the Auburn crowd actually booing their inept team late in the second half.

No big deal just gossip. Need more focus on basketball something that is a hot topic. This site is getting too much like the National Enquirer full of rumors, and little news that is important to generate interest. Carroll has been gone a long time now that is the past. Time to focus on the future.

There is a pattern of behavior here with PC. At USC he reached the mountain top with relative ease blowing out two opponents, Michigan and Oklahoma, to win a NC, and a Super Bowl blowout of the Broncos. Then he began to erase assistant coaches who raised any type of challenge, Norm Chow, and replaced the with young “Yes Men”, Sark, Kiffin, etc. Then in other championship games, the Rose Bowl-Super Bowl, made a couple of boneheaded decisions; not kicking FGs and leaving points on the board against Texas and not running Marshawn Lynch at the goal line, that cost his team a title.

Losing Ed O hurt PC more than anything and giving the dipshit twins any responsibility other than getting the take out food was a huge mistake

The parallels are indeed striking. Undisputed National Title in Year 4 at USC (2004). Disappointing Title Game loss in Year 5 (2005). Super Bowl Title in Year 4 in Seattle (2013). Disappointing Title Game Loss in Year 5 (2014). Both places, competitive but not a Champion since.

Please branch out into politics. The Biden administration has nominated a man/woman/? who believes it’s O.K. to administer drugs to 3-10 year olds to change their gender by allowing the child to make the sole decision.
Much more relavent than PC’s son.
Your NEW, MORE IMPORTANT calling needs your relentless common sense.

A football team is not a democracy. If you were in the army you have to have an authoritarian leader to keep everyone alive or limit losses. Same with a ship’s captain (forget the novel Caine Mutiny which propagates the false notion that a navy ship should be run by a wus). Judge a leader by results. Problem with Helton is that he is not authoritarian but a good ol’ boy and cracks down on some players while coddling the whole team. Helton can’t even organize team warmups before a game, something a flag football coach learns how to do. You know who is going to win critical games by how disciplined the warmups are. You can’t have a prayer or Bible reading as game prep. Football is war but more like entertainment in the PAC-12 (“you score, then I score, then you score, then i score”, etc., endlessly). Did Patton ask his troops what to do or get feedback? No. He just won battles.
