Sorry guys. I figured music at practice was such a trivial topic that my post wouldn't be taken as offensive.
It certainly wasn't meant to offensive or to offend anyone.
In any case, just so you guys know where I was coming from, re: 3/4s of NFL teams playing music at practice, from October of '14:
Sixteen NFL teams now pump music into their practices and another eight use a mixture of songs and the old crowd noise. Seven still use just the white noise and one team — the Rams — doesn’t use any form of noise.

As for if Chip or Pete was doing this at the NFL level first (I know college teams and college coaches have been doing it for awhile), the first I had heard of it was back in May of '13 w/ Chip Kelly at OTAs:

and also about him doing it back at UofO:

The first time I heard about Carroll doing it was a few months later at minicamp in the big ESPN profile on how he ran the Hawks:

If he had been doing it since he came back to the NFL in 2010 though, my mistake. I guess I just hadn't heard about it and in a quick google perusal the first mention I saw of it was what I remembered from the ESPN piece above. Happy to wrong though, cuz really, it's not that big of deal IMO. I only remembered about hearing about Kelly doing it during OTAs and then seeing that Carroll was also doing at minicamp b/c I thought it was kinda neat. I seriously wasn't trying to offend or derail the thread into a bunch of people posting about me. :th2thumbs:
