bobgonzo Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 Please hire him! Please Dolphins! SOUNDS LIKE AN INTERVIEW TO ME....LOL Miami Dolphins owner Wayne Huizenga's travel itinerary suggests he's trying to lure Southern California coach Pete Carroll back to the NFL. Carroll has been on vacation in Costa Rica, and a Huizenga-owned plane flew there Sunday, then returned to Fort Lauderdale, according to flight records. The same plane was used to take Dolphins officials to Pittsburgh, Chicago, San Diego, Jacksonville and Minneapolis to interview candidates to replace Nick Saban. A Dolphins spokesman declined to say whether Huizenga met with Carroll. USC spokesman Tim Tessalone said Carroll was expected to return from vacation Tuesday. "Pete hasn't gotten back, so I don't have any information to share with you," Tessalone said. In the 1990s, Carroll coached the New York Jets for one season and the New England Patriots for three before being fired. As recently as last week, he denied rumors he wanted to return to the pros. If the 55-year-old Carroll is interested in the Dolphins job, he would become the front-runner. He led the Trojans to a fifth consecutive Bowl Championship Series appearance this season and beat Michigan in the Rose Bowl. He's 65-12 with two national titles in six seasons at Southern California. The Dolphins interviewed two candidates Monday: their defensive coordinator, Dom Capers, and Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Mike Tomlin. Capers was interviewed in Jacksonville, where he was on vacation. He coached expansion teams in Carolina and Houston and has a career record of 48-80. Since Saban left last week for Alabama, Miami has interviewed at least six other candidates: former Atlanta Falcons coach Jim Mora, Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt, Georgia Tech coach Chan Gailey, San Diego offensive coordinator Cam Cameron, and two Chicago Bears assistants, defensive coordinator Ron Rivera and offensive coordinator Ron Turner. Gailey, a former offensive coordinator for the Dolphins, said Monday there was nothing new to report in the coaching search. "I'm one of the guys in the running," he said. "We'll see where it goes." The Dolphins' experience with Saban might make them less likely to hire a college coach. He came to Miami from Louisiana State and left after two seasons, deciding he preferred the SEC to the NFL. Carroll is one of the highest-paid coaches in college, but Huizenga last week said: "I don't care what it takes, what it costs, what's involved. We're going to make this a winning franchise." The Dolphins have failed to make the playoffs the past five seasons, a team record. A message left on Carroll's cell phone wasn't returned, and his agent didn't return calls seeking comment.

Tcali Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Yeah, no way that Bledsoe was Pete Carroll's decision to start. Thats all he had--plus Bledsoe had a ziliion dollar conract. I repeat---Bledsoe was and is a coach killer. Vince lombardi couoldnt win with him in there.--and that one SB year NE had tons of talent and pudgyman as coach.

smokinandjokin Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I think Carroll is a MUCH better fit in the NCAA, and he seems to truly enjoy coaching at USC. However, a boatload of cash can cloud your thinking, as we have seen many times. I know if Miami comes correct with an offer, USC I'm sure will fire back with one of their own. The money will be big-time at either place. Carroll actually had a decent NFL coaching career. He just meshes better with college kids. I think Jim Mora would be a good fit in Miami.

smokinandjokin Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Damn. He's a great college coach but a crappy NFL coach. Pete wasn't too bad: He guided the Patriots into the playoffs in his first 2 seasons, winning the AFC Eastern Division title at 10-6 in 1997 and advancing to the second round of the playoffs, then posting a 9-7 regular season mark in 1998. His overall record in New England was 27-21 in the regular season (including 8-8 in 1999) and 1-2 in the playoffs. He owns the franchise's second-best winning percentage (54.9%). The Patriots went 5-11 in 2000 in their first year under Belicheck. He went 6-10 in one season with the Jets, who proceeded to go 3-13 and 1-15 the next two seasons with Rich Kotite. In between those two jobs, he spent 2 years (1995-96) as the defensive coordinator with the San Francisco 49ers, who won the NFC Western Division title both seasons. The 49ers were 11-5 in the 1995 regular season when they had the NFL's top-ranked defense and then went 12-4 in 1996. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Why in the world would Pete ever want to leave USC for the NFL or any other job coaching football?!? He is king of the hill in LA (without a pro football team). He turned around that program to the point where it is basically recruiting itself. USC has its pick of the litter in California and around the country. He is making a load of money. He gets to look at the USC cheerleaders every game (no small benefit). Finally, college coaches do not work nearly as much on a yearly basis as NFL coaches. If Pete is smart, he will stay just where he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
