Pete Carroll out as Seahawks HC

[KJD_Ram]

2 things I think of when Cheat Carroll is mentioned...The rampant cheating at USC and the time he used the Rams as leverage to get better contract with the Jets...(or was it NE?...one of them...)

With Carroll out, and Belichick potentially done in New England, Sean McVay could start next year tied for the 4th longest tenured head coach in the NFL, behind Mike Tomlin (17) years, John Harbaugh (16 years) and Andy Reid (11 years), and tied with Mike Shanahan and Sean McDermott.

There's been rumors of Tomlin being tired and wanting a break as well. Would not surprise me if he steps down after they get eliminated this round.

Being a Head Coach for 14 straight seasons, for the same team, is quite the achievement in this league.

Pete should walk away with his head held high.

Let’s hope they botch his replacement.

And still the youngest....

And still the youngest....

I heard an interesting discussion today after the news about Carroll. Young is the way to go. Carroll defenders were saying they shouldn't have parted ways.

But he's just 25-26 the last 3 years with 1 playoff appearance and that shouldn't have been if the officiating didn't absolutely suck.

Someone said, "he earned the right to leave when he wanted to retire" and then someone chimed in, "really? If you leave that up to Carroll....or Belichick.....they'd be coaching when they're 80."

Shula was canned. Landry was canned. And if those guys can get canned certainly Carroll can be fired.

Big difference though, Pete coming off back to back winning seasons, and 11 winning seasons in last 12. Landry had 3 straight losing seasons and a 3-13 final year, it was time to go. Shula retired. As for Petey, when they dumped Wilson and replaced him with Geno Smith, I though for sure they were tanking for the #1 overall pick. But they kept winning.

Pete is still part of the organization just not a HC anymore. They still may be a threat.

Bye bye bitch!

That would be a kickass avatar if it was Rams colors.

Very cool thx. Since I like to change my avatar I've been meaning to try to figure out how to get animated gifs to work but never got around to it. This one I saved to the drive but it doesn't animate.

I'll give Carroll his props for what he did at Seattle...but dude really lost my respect when he ran out on USC. I'm way over here in Memphis and that just really rubbed me entirely the wrong way. Every time I see dude, it's the first thing that comes to mind.

Pete milked it for as long as he could. He's not a bad coach but not a great one either. Why should anyone be surprised?

I still think the wildest firing was of Marty Schottenheimer by the Renters after a 14-2 season.

I lived in SD back then. What the media never picked up on was how Shottenheimer forced his firing. He was in a contentious relationship with the GM AJ Smith. Shottenheimer wanted to be both HC and GM. He made it a matter of me or him. He tried to hire his brother as OC a violation of franchise rules put in place by Dean Spanos of all people where his entire family is employed by the Chargers. Dean saw him as a threat, so he told Smith to fire him which Smith gladly did.

Marty destroyed his own NFL career with that stunt. As far as I know he never worked again in the NFL as he was deemed "untouchable" as too much of an ego maniac (which he was). He wasn't very popular in San Diego with the fanbase, he was only liked by the media who he sucked up to constantly.

Never had a problem with Carroll. Never liked losing to him but Kinda respected his enthusiasm. Same with Wilson (as awkward as he was in public sometimes).

7 years having a team you can honestly have faith will win more than they lose. That hasn't sucked at all. Damn Steelers fans are spoiled.

Side thought.....I realize "tenured" is the same post with same organization, but it is impressive what Andy Reid is doing. Between Philly and KC he's maintained a post as an NFL Head coach for 24 consecutive years,.
