"After careful consideration of what is in the best interest of the university and our student-athletes, I have made the decision to terminate Steve Sarkisian, effective immediately.

John Harbaugh is supposed to be on the hot seat. Sean Peyton too.

They should hire Pete Carroll to right the ship. He's almost worn out his welcome in Seattle.

NCAA has dropped it's case against him? Absolved him?

Is USC Ready to Forgive Pete Carroll for NCAA Sanctions?

Probably not a good idea to bring that stuff up right now. Though he does have problems in Seattle...


An NCAA investigation into the school cited the university for a lack of institutional control in regards to former running back Reggie Bush, a staple of the team’s title runs and the 2005 Heisman Trophywinner. USC was hammered following the four-year investigation in 2010 with a two-year postseason ban, the loss of 30 scholarships over three years, and were forced to vacate all wins which Bush participated in as an “ineligible” player, including the 2005 Orange Bowl where USC won the BCS National Championship. Bush, additionally, was forced to relinquish his Heisman.

That would have been hard enough to swallow as a USC fan as the sanctions have almost universally been panned as an overreach and abuse of power by the NCAA, but things were made even worse when Carroll bolted to the NFL to take over the Seattle Seahawksjust months before the sanctions were handed down. That left a lot of people with suspicions about how much Carroll knew about the violations with a bad taste in their mouths.

For years, Carroll has dealt with the reputation of running a dirty program at USC and then running away when he got caught. The Trojans are JUST NOW coming out from under the heavy NCAA sanctions which have hampered their ability to be competitive on the national stage in large part because of the damage the lost scholarships did to their overall depth.

Zero point zero chance Carroll leaves Seattle anytime soon. You may want our fans/media/team to lose faith in him, but it's not happening. Most of our fans simply put all their hate on the OC. No one is ever going to ask for Pete or the GM's head. Not after two SB games and a win.

You can't have him.

Pete was never caught with anything.

Well Caroll did see the storm brewing cut and run... so if he was to re-enter the college game he should be punished for what he did as a college coach. I doubt he goes back to coach college football though. Just my .
