Gay Marriage Vote Puts Heat On Christie
Pete Carroll, currently one step ahead of NCAA investigators, is the new Seahawks head coach. He met with the media in Seattle Tuesday and explained that, among other things, he wasn't leaving USC because of recruiting violations. (Shutdown Corner writer and ardent Seahawks supporter Doug Farrar offered this: "Suuuuuure, Pete. Nothing to do with the timing at all. Gotcha!" Which is pretty much what everybody was thinking.)
In addition to talking about his new gig, Carroll also discussed former USC quarterback Mark Sanchez's recent comments ("I just wanted everybody to know I completely disagree with [Carroll's] decision [to leave USC for the NFL] ... Statistics show that it's not a good choice."), which were a tongue-in-cheek reaction to Carroll a year prior.
Carroll responded to Sanchez's response to Carroll's initial remarks (and talked about the Seahawks, too) below:
"Oh, I love it. Payback's gonna be pretty tough. I wanted Mark to know that I did graduate, and in leaving school early, I did take my diploma with me." Later adding: "Look out, Mark -- I'm coming after you."
The part Carroll left out: he went to community college and then transferred to the University of Pacific. And after school, with diploma in tow, he was promptly cut by the World Football League's Honolulu Hawaiians. Carroll briefly sold roofing materials to make ends meet before settling on coaching.
The lesson: sometimes, education is overrated.
