Pete Carroll

To everyone that has not been watching the sports world the past 36 hours it look like that Southern California coach Pete Carroll has agreed in principle to become the head coach of the Seattle Seahawks. Carroll coached in the NFL as a head coach for 4 years and had a record a little better than .500. The biggest effect that this will have is in the PAC 10 and in recruiting. Many of USC's recruits that had made verbal commitments and were stunned by the recent changes and are now considering going back on there verbal commitments. This should really help out the PAC 10 teams not to mention the whole NCAA as USC would normally pull recruits from all over the country. As of now Mike Riley, the head coach at Oregon State, is the front runner to replace Pete Carroll.
