Pete Carroll Heading Back to the NFL

Shocking!

It appears that USC Trojans head coach Pete Carroll is heading back to the NFL, as a move to the Pacific Northwest appears imminent. Ladies and gentleman, you new coach of the Seattle Seahawks.

From ESPN:

Pete Carroll and the Seattle Seahawks are “close” to coming to contract terms, the LA Times reported.

The Times reported that Carroll would leave USC to become the Seahawks head coach and team president for a five-year contract worth $7 million a year.

Carroll made $4.4 million annually as the Trojans coach.

From the Los Angeles Times:

Highly successful USC football Coach Pete Carroll was close to reaching an agreement with the Seattle Seahawks on Friday evening, headed toward a job switch that would deliver yet another blow to the university’s besieged athletic program.

While USC has come under fire for not properly monitoring athletes — with two investigations involving football — Seattle is offering big money and wide-ranging control.

The 58-year-old Carroll has been offered the job of both coach and president at an annual salary of $7 million for five years, according to sources close to the negotiations who were not authorized to comment on the situation.

Although Seahawks officials did not talk publicly about their interest in Carroll, a contingent from the team, including Chief Executive Tod Leiweke, met with the coach in Los Angeles this week.
