As a Seattle Seahawks fan, I'm not happy this morning.
The Seahawks let Mike Holmgren get away in favor of Jim Mora, and now Mora's out.
Now the Seahawks have hired Pete Carroll from USC as their new head coach. While he's had success at the collegiate level, Carroll's pro career has been less than stellar.
He was one-and-done as the NY Jets coach with a record of 6-10. At New England he inherited a Super Bowl team and went 10-6, followed by 9-7 and then 8-8 when he was fired.
With the likes of Bill Cowher (who would have been my first choice), Tony Dungy and Jon "Chucky" Gruden all available - and all Super Bowl coaches - I'm less than pleased about this hire.
Well, at least coming from USC we'll have a coach with experience dealing with highly paid players.
