Multiple media outlets are reporting that USC head football coach Pete Carroll ((pictured wanting Mike Garrett to co-operate, thanks LA Times/Skalij and Gallardo))has reached terms on a five-year deal to become the new lead dog for the Seattle Seahawks.
The LA Daily News reported the length of the deal while other details ((namely "power" within the organization)) have to be worked out...
He replaces Jim Mora who was fired Friday after a frustrating 5-11 year in the Pacific Northwest.
The new questions now ripple through college football...provided the Seahawks comply with the Rooney Rule before they announce Carroll's hiring.
Adam Schefter says that Vikings DC Leslie Frazier will not interview if Carroll has been promised absolute power.
SI's Don Banks says that two GM candidates pulled out after the Carroll name was floated- Baltimore #2 Eric DeCosta and Philadelphia GM Tom Heckert, Junior. This leads to, according to Banks, DeCosta being named GM-in-Waiting for Ozzie Newsome and Heckert going to Cleveland to hang with Mike Holmgren.
Banks also thinks current New Mexico State head coach Rodney Walker may be Carroll's new DC- or the new USC coach. Norm Chow could follow Walker to either Seattle or central LA. USC OC Jeremy Bates is on track to follow Carroll to Seattle, if he doesn't go to the Chicago Bears where his services are requested also.
Make any sense yet...???
SI's Jim Trotter has people who have spoken to the Seahawks as well. His peeps say that Seahawks owner Paul Allen is not all that keen on giving absolute power absolutely to Carroll. He's been through that once before with Mike Holmgren...
And we all know how well that worked...
So, if TJ Simers column in the LA Times is accurate- it's premise that USC AD Mike Garrett has left Carroll hanging after Mark Sanchez, Joe McKnight, and hell the HQ will Say it- Reggie Bush... then, maybe it's time for the Silver Surfer to find a better set of waves...
More when we know more...
