So This Means Pete Carroll Didn’t Want UCLA Job?

Pete Carroll’s name got thrown around for the UCLA job.

I never saw it as a realistic possibility.

UCLA couldn’t afford Carroll. It couldn’t afford his staff. It couldn’t pay off its exisiting staff, which Carroll would have fired.

Then there was the question whether Carroll even wants to coach college football. Does he want to recruit? Does he want to deal with NIL?

And does he want to ruin his USC legacy?

About the only reason I could see him taking a college job would be to provide jobs for his sons.

  • Jim Leonhard, who turned down the USC defensive coordinator job, accepted a job as defensive backs coach with the Denver Broncos.

Does that seem like a step up? He was previously the defensive coordinator at Wisconsin and turned down other offers to be defensive coordinator. It’s hard to figure out how coaches think these days. But being defensive coordinator at USC sounds better, especially because Lincoln Riley would probably have allowed him to not recruit if it was an issue.

  2. Did everybody like the Black National Anthem yesterday ?

    Here’s the lyrics, no mention of EBT cards, Welfare, guns, ho’s, bitches, rap, hood rats etc, in these lyrics, it’ll never sell.

    Lift every voice and sing,
    ‘Til earth and heaven ring,
    Ring with the harmonies of Liberty;
    Let our rejoicing rise
    High as the list’ning skies,
    Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
    Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,
    Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;
    Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,
    Let us march on ’til victory is won.
    Stony the road we trod,
    Bitter the chastening rod,
    Felt in the days when hope unborn had died;
    Yet with a steady beat,
    Have not our weary feet
    Come to the place for which our fathers sighed?
    We have come over a way that with tears has been watered,
    We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered,
    Out from the gloomy past,
    ‘Til now we stand at last
    Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.
    God of our weary years,
    God of our silent tears,
    Thou who has brought us thus far on the way;
    Thou who has by Thy might
    Led us into the light,
    Keep us forever in the path, we pray.
    Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee,
    our hearts drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee;
    Shadowed beneath Thy hand,
    May we forever stand,
    True to our God,
    True to our native land.

    1. budda,

      the nfl is a racist company. If the blacks get to sing, “their”, national anthem, then why doesn’t the nfl ackowledge and alllow the Indian, European, Asian, and South American, let alone the Mexcian National Anthem. I think the Mexicans could use, “Low Rider”, or “One Ton Tomatoe”, for their national anthem. For all of you political crap people (Gabbby), it is a joke about the Mexican Anthem.

  5. The college coach is 50% recruiting, which is a full time second job. There is no off-season. But if you are not that great at actual strategy and training, then you can try to win by being a better recruiter. In the age of NIL, the resources of the school also make a huge difference.

    The NFL draft is meant to achieve some level of parity, college recruiting is the ultimate way for certain colleges to build a durable advantage that cant be overcome by strategy or training.

  8. UCLA did not go after Kiffin because he’d cost too much money. He’s making what, $8 million (or more) now, 4 times what UCLA was paying Kelly.

    And the only reason Carroll would even think about going back into college coaching that makes sense to me is so that he could reach the minimum number of wins required to be in the college football HOF.

    I also think (based on not much of anything, actually) that the guy has a sentimental attachment to USC, because we gave him a chance when everyone else was assuming he was washed up and had nothing to offer. When he finally does decide he’s going to retire, I wonder if he might approach Jen Cohen and ask to be signed to a one day contract so he could retire as a Trojan.

    2. Regarding the HOF, you need a minimum of 10 years as a head coach, no less than 100 games coached, and a .600% or better win percentage. There is no stipulation on total wins

  10. Hey MG: Here’s an exert from your favorite blogger just from today. Boy that guy is “clever.” Can really argue his case. Ignore the fact that he is mentally ill and threatens people.

    “You senile troll, wake up…dipshit. Let’s meet up and see who can take a punch.”

    “Wipe the drool old man……you sound like a babbling buffoon …just saying.”

    “Mrs. slo cal wants to know why you’re always hanging around the local playground? I guess she doesn’t know about your past. . . . 14 will get you 20. PS…..was the old man a pedo…….father like son….ouch!”

    “I see why the relatives hide the kids from you…..I would do the same.”

    “PT……does your local priest know about all the racist comments you make on a sports blog……yet you claim to be a man of the faith. . .”

    “No one cares!…….find something productive to do……start with the outhouse issue…..the neighbors need some relief.”

    Gee, glad he offers his contributions to the blog. Really look forward to more of these literary gems. MG, do you miss the posts of large animals taking a dump?

    1. Let’s face it, MG was merely trying to pacify the blog child/Village Idiot/perv/pedo/BS Artist/Let’s Meet Up/Narcissist when he claimed she was clever. The psycho was threatening him and he’d had enough of that.

      He figured taking pity on her and throwing a bone was harmless. No one would ever really consider her posts “clever”. Only a ten year old would find those posts amusing, especially when you consider she’s used them for years!

      Buddha had a nice zinger above and her stupid reply was “weak sauce”. When she claims to have won, you know you got her good!
