After 2017, Carroll fired Richard and hired Ken Norton Jr.

Is there a reason why?

Because Seacocks defense got worse every year. Needed a scapegoat.

He suggested Pete take up smoking to help him kick the gum habit.

The defense aged, was injury riddled, and Carroll wasn't firing himself. Didn't deserve to lose his job.

who cares? Just because a coach gets fired in the NFL doesn't meant he can't coach in college. He is obviously a good coach.

I know this doesn’t have anything to do with the question, but if people point to Carroll firing Richard as a reason for LSU not to pursue him ...

Pete Carroll hired Brian Schottenheimer to be his OC.

They have Russell Wilson. But they hired Schotty. So they can run the ball. With Russell Wilson as their quarterback.

A difference in philosophy. Pete felt it was time KR found a place that suited his aggressive philosophy. The dude blitzed too much. The opposite of aranda’s problem. And the defense dropped because of injuries
