Comments on: Will Pete Carroll Save the Seahawks? Don’t Be So Sure http://howtowatchsports.com/2010/01/will-pete-carroll-save-the-seahawks-dont-be-so-sure/ Unnecessarily in-depth sports analysis Sat, 29 Jan 2011 14:36:05 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Sam Orme http://howtowatchsports.com/2010/01/will-pete-carroll-save-the-seahawks-dont-be-so-sure/comment-page-1/#comment-665 Sam Orme Mon, 11 Jan 2010 23:47:43 +0000 http://howtowatchsports.com/?p=1894#comment-665 If any college coach could turn the Seahawks around, it would be Pete Carroll. I just don't think it's likely, given recent history. Vermeil and Jimmy Johnson were successes, sure, but for every Vermeil, there tend to be three Bobby Petrinos.

John Robinson, Dick Vermil ect. Pete Carroll was no dismal failure in his first NFL stint. He actually had a winning record and a playoff victory. If Carroll has shown anything it is the ability to pick talent. As the head of player personnel as well as head coach he has the skills to build a winner if given time.

I imagine it taking a while to rebuild the team to be competitive, and often NFL coaches don't get to stay around that long. The Seahawks are in dire need of a real franchise quarterback, and a franchise running back to boot. Pete resurrected a USC team that was floundering in the bottom of the Pac-10, but with good recruiting you can upgrade 1/4 of your players each year. Personnel upgrades in the NFL are a lot more tricky.

Although rare, there have been successful college coaches in the NFL (Jimmy Johnson comes to mind). I think Pete has a better shot at doing well than the other coaches you mentioned because he's coached at the NFL-level before. He also brings so much passion to the game which should be contagious to the other coaching staff and players. I will definitely be tuning in to watch Seattle next year.
