Would certainly make things interesting. If it happens, I hope he installs the defense that he had in place the last five years with the Seahawks.

I saw this yesterday too. Seems like another one of those click bait speculation pieces.

How the mighties have fallen, Bellicheck to the college, and Corroll to DC.

Don't believe this, anytime you go to a website and have 5 pop up ads before you can read the first sentence is pretty much click bait. Backed out because they kept coming before I could read any of it.

Noah Fant and AJ Barner will have career days with Carroll as the Niners DC.

I get it, but the New York Post is a real site and major New York newspaper. Do I believe Pete is going there, no, but the New York Post isn’t the National Enquirer

Not so fast. Now Pete is headed to Dallas apparently.

I accept that Pete is not on any team's must-have or A-list, I am surprised that he is getting so many interviews, perhaps he will go where that is a hint of a chance. He's confident that he will interview well, and got what it takes to change the minds.

Any of these downtrodden teams should absolutely be entertaining Pete Carroll, who at the very least will bring the motivation up on the team and bring them and identity. With that said though, it speaks volumes that it doesn’t seem anyone at this point is very interested. As I said in a previous post, in my opinion, the Raiders would be a great place for him.

I think the boat on Raider has sailed, Pete didn't pass the Tom Brady interview.

Man, hopefully Pete isn't that thirsty for a job that he would take a DC job for a long time division rival.
Like what was said above, clearly just clickbait

 

[Ozzy]

Like I said in the beginning I’ll be shocked if Pete gets a job. His defensive resume, which he is know for was terrible down the stretch. He’s a great culture builder but schematically he’s viewed as outdated

That's the thing. Would Tom Brady really want PC for a head coach? Just doesn't seem likely to me.

I think Pete passed the Mark Davis test but failed Brady bit. Now his chance is minimal.

Why not?

 

[NoGain]

Why not?

Because my guess is that an astute football mind like Tom Brady's probably thinks the game has passed him by. Word has it that Brady really wanted Ben Johnson, but that was not to be had. PC and BJ are pretty far apart in many ways.

Saleh

No way Pete takes a coordinator job…he’s not going to take a step back imo. He wrote a book about why he didn’t have success in his first run in the NFL, he wasn’t in charge of personnel…

He wouldn’t get that in Dallas, LV, Chicago, and certainly not as a DC

 

[Grand Strand Hawk Fan]

Sounds like Saleh is going back.

He just signed with the Raiders. That one I totally nailed.
