Video Bites: Ringtone

What's with the Pete Carroll hate?

Seahawks fans, I know that you're probably the best fan base in the NFL and you make Qwest Field one of the most imposing home stadiums in professional sports but can you get a little perspective?

Instead of tearing down Pete Carroll every change you get you might want to remember that (a) he's won two national championships and (b) he's developed an incredible amount of NFL talent. He also was a head coach in the NFL already and despite everyone's amnesia thinking that he's a terrible coach, he actually had an above .500 record. All this negativity probably comes from the fact that his last NFL job was at New England which has a media base that tries to eat its own teams alive unless they're winning championships.

You should be happy the Seahawks went out and got a big name to lead their team because he has just as much chance to turn this team around as a no-name assistant. It's a concentrated effort to improve the team as opposed to the "ho-hum attitude" that so many Seattle franchises seem to have. Stop complaining Seattle fans!

And you can officially put me in the "Pro-Pete" group.

My advice to Pete Carroll...

1. Do not put in a quarterback with the last name of "Mirer."

2. Stay away from the strategy of handing the ball off to your running back that seems to fall down at the slightest hint of contact in short yardage situations. (And for those of you that are worried, Shaun Alexander is still alive and tweeting.)

3. Don't go for it on 4th and 20 on your side of the field otherwise ESPN will run the clip of you not converting it for the next month anytime a team goes for it on 4th down.

4. If the USC program collapses due to NCAA violations, make sure you shrug your shoulders and go "Did I do that?" That will make Washington and WSU fans go wild.

5. Don't UNDER any CIRCUMSTANCE mention Matt Hasselbeck's bald head.

Pete Carroll... the best coach in Seahawks history?

Pay no attention to the NCAA Violations behind the curtain at USC... Pete Carroll is one of the best coaches in the history of college football. And if he does end up going to the Seattle Seahawks, well, remember the last time the team got a big name to steer the ship?

Yeah his name was Mike Holmgren and he took the team to a Super Bowl.

Sure the reason Carroll might be jumping ship is to avoid the disbandment of USC due to violations, but whatever, it's college sports, everything from the 3rd graders getting recruiting to the sleezy AAU guys making money to the agents lurking around high schools to the money the schools makes off of their players but never pay them is absolutely ridiculous. Unless Carroll locked somebody in a shed, I don't think Seahawks fans will have any problem with what happens.

And having witnessed Carroll in person on the sideline (like 10 feet away, seriously, I felt like a stalker), he is a very charismatic guy and really loves his players. You can tell. It would be wonderful to have him on the sidelines for the Seahawks.
