What had Pete Carroll ever done at the college level?
I know his name. I chose not to invoke it.
While Carroll never was a college head coach prior to USC he was in the college game from 74-83 as an assistant. He had a taste for what it was like.
Gruden has some experience at college:
Background: Quarterback at Dayton (1982-84), graduating with a degree in communications. The Flyers had a 24-7 record in Gruden's three varsity seasons. Coach collegiately at Tennessee (1986-87), Southeast Missouri State (1988), Pacific (1989), and Pittsburgh (1991).
My question is his willingness to come back as he has staed many times that he has no interest
