Pete Carroll is a great coach. He coaches a bunch I absolutely can't stand, but you gotta give the Devil his due. 1. AP Coach of the Year 2. Beat Michigan handily after Michigan took OSU to the wire. Statement! 3. Best Recruiting in America this decade, filthy rich in 5 star talent. He's selling them something. 4. Keeps a reasonable lid on his Hollywood zoo. Wait, no he doesn't. Well, ok, he's a zookeeper anyway. Mariajuana and gang rapes, 50/50 homo/hetero, yeah he's in charge of a "balanced" madhouse, does a great job keeping them from receiving the NCAA Death Penalty :lol: 5. He's got "charisma". I like Tirk's "smarmy". Guess that means Smart/Slimy. And he is a slimy dude. I'd like nothing more than to see LSU beat this guy like a drum. I disagree with Tirk about next year. Even losing Buster & Bowe & JR, LSU can win with Flynn & RP. Beat AU & Beat Florida at home. SEC Game beat Florida again. That's a tall order! Defense wins Championships. LSU's Defense will still be great next year. A 1-loss LSU team winning the SEC can still play for NC. And there's no better team I'd like to see LSU play for a NC next year than USC & Pete Carroll.
