BuffaloBill Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 EXACTLY. He makes 4 mil a year at one of the best colleges in the country in the best climate in the county (I live here, I know). And he is going to take a pay cut to coach a sh------- team in terrible weather in a small market? Get real. Hate to say it but you are right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poeticlaw Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Have a friend who's uncle works security at the Ralph. Said he overheard that Ralph is going to be contacting Pete Carroll after the Rose Bowl game on January 1 about the coaching job that WILL be vacant very soon. In all seriousness, I don't think that Ralph could lure him away unless he gave him alot of power in the organization and I don't see Wilson giving up the dough that would get him to accept the job either. Dude I live in NE Pete Carrol was the head coach of NE you think Jauron is Bad Petey is not madef or the NFL he took a team who was a playoff caliber team and detriatiated them each year he was there. What do you think he does to team thats not even playoff ready??? NO keep petey in College thank you I want to improve this team notmake it worse!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Dean Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Bingo. Carroll is in a great situation out there. Unless the NCAA is going to come down hard on USC for the Reggie Bush scandal I don't see why Pete would want to leave Southern California. I sure hope not. That hire has disaster written all over it, IMO. Say "no" to a college HC..even one with previous (8-9 years ago) NFL experience. I'd much rather go with an NFL coordinator than a college HC.

Rico Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I have Heard that Pete Carroll would like to take another shot at the NFL but I doubt it would be with the BillsExactly. He may leave a dream job but only for another dream job, not to work for Ralph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Exactly. He may leave a dream job but only for another dream job, not to work for Ralph. And we can only give thanks for that. See, there is at least one plus in having Ralph as an owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I 90 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Give him a tiny piece of the team. He is uniquely experienced and if restless, a showy grab for Ralph. At the very least he buys a few more years of sellouts and the perpetual optimism machine rolls on. Desperate times, desperate measures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1billsfan Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 If Bill Parcells has an out clause in his contract with the Dolphins then HE'S the only dude that Ralph should get in contact with and pay him whatever the f he wants. Carroll is too soft a character for this job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Wheels Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Pete Carroll is a great college coach. His rah rah demeanor is suited to teaching and recruiting young players. It didn't work in NY. It didn't work in New England. Pro players get paid too much money to take a coach like that seriously when they try to discipline them. The Jets players tuned him out in one season, and Carroll was undermined by pampered brats like Terry Glenn when he coached the Pats. Carroll has it made in LA. USC pays him well, he can recruit players who *want* to play for him, and he enjoys working with inner city youth there. I can't see any scenario where he would leave all that for Buffalo.

K-9 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I once read that Carroll's inspiration came from seeing the Bills' Wall of Fame in his first season as the Jets' coach. 'Twas a cool thing to see, that the Bills inspired him way back then. Nevertheless, he's not coming here. Why wouldn't Pete Carroll have been inspired by the Bills' Wall of Fame when he started coaching with the Bills in '84? GO BILLS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carroll has the best job in football--pro or college--and would never give that up. I always wonder why Ralph feels the need to share his inner most hiring/firing thoughts with the security/catering/ticket/snow removal staff...

That is just too painful to read to not respond. There are keys right of the letter "m" on your keyboard that help organize thoughts. You might consider using them. Detriatiated? Good one.
