Garrett has the mess to clean up left behind by carroll.

After that Petey will most likely be named coach.

i agree it is an insult to all black coaches and i don't care for the rule. BUT, the rule got mike tomlin the job in pittsburgh. steelers looked at someone they other wise would not have interviewed.

He has won a Super Bowl, and you can never take that away from the guy. But the jury is still out whether he is a good coach or not.

I don't like the rule, I think it's an insult most of the time. Who know's maybe the Steelers felt obligated to hire Tomlin. It is call the Rooney Rule. No matter what/where the job opening, it should just be based on credentials and whether that person is the best person for the job no matter what color they are. That goes for everything, not just football.

Seems to me Petes' job was to coach and recruit players.....not babbysit and watch their every move. They have Faculty advisors and course advisors for all the rest. And Garrett objected to Carroll getting the press. Just sayin...

they must have liked something, they hired tomlin over wiesenhut and grimm, who were already on staff. steelers O-line play hasn't been the same since grimm went too Az.

Sanchez just had a great quote in his postgame, pretty much repeating Carroll's infamous "I disagree with Mark's decision" quote and turning it around on Carroll for leaving USC. Got a lot of laughs.
