Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carrol spoke to the media at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, IN this week and was asked about LSU head coach Ed Orgeron.

Carrol had nothing but high praise for his former assistant coach.

quote:
"I can't be more excited for one of the guys that I spent time with in coaching," Carrol said. "Ed and I had a great time at USC. He was the first guy I found to hire when I was there and it was the biggest loss I had when someone left. it was really hard to replace him for all of the things he brings and all of the things I know he brings to the LSU program.

"When he was the head coach at SC, everybody could tell. He had a tremendous impact. You have already heard the responses from the players and the people around him, they can tell he has a tremendous impact on how they think and they operate and how they will represent the great university."

"He's a blast and I love him. I couldn't be more happy and more in support. We will stay connect through all of the challenges. And we share ideas whenever we can."

This is impossible. Coach O is the worst coach ever, right negas?

Racist

Isn't he well below .500 as a HC?

jeff5891•86 months

Stop making me like you, Pete

Not a Pete Carroll fan, but he can flat out coach! Built a winner at USC and Seattle. If Coach O runs his program like that (minus the violations), we will be in the hunt year in year out. And that's really all you can ask for is a shot!

I don't mind the violations if it nets us two or three championships.

Great comments from a NFL quality coach.

Never understood the hate for Carroll on here

ninthward•86 months

Ditto, he is a good guy. Really like the football connections O has.

redbaron•86 months

I'd imagine it has something to do with gin politicking USC into a "split" title with LSU in '03

redbaron•86 months

That being said, I would expect any coach to do the same in a similar situation

AustinKnight•86 months

Say what you want about Pete the man figured out what it takes to win after many years of Heartache and losses. Other than the scandal at USC he built a powerhouse and hope O follows his footsteps and doing it the right way.

SoulGlo•86 months

Thanks for the kind words, Cheat Carroll.... now shut your crooked face.

INFIDEL•86 months

Appreciate his comments, but Pete is a shite ball of a coach. He ruined USC. He's done well at Seattle too, with a lower budget. Srsly. frick that guy.
