(Cowardly) Chetey To The NFL (Escape Southern Cal's Scandal Ridden Program)?

The Glorified Substitute Teacher Is Looking To Jump Off A Scandal Ridden Trojan Ship - Media Reports (Thanks again goes out to snipestreet dot com for that priceless screen cap)
I know this seems to be coming up yearly around this time of the year, but according to Chris Mortenson on SportsCenter and Adam Schefter is also reporting that Chetey has been in contact with the Seattle Seahawks and they have "mutual interest" and the Seahawks would allow Pete to become GM as well as coach which is something that he has said to want if he is to go to the NFL.
I tried to find a link on Field Gulls, the SBNation blog for the 'hawks but didn't find anything up on their site. If anyone finds any articles online about this feel free to delete this post and put that one up.
UPDATE (N): Story up on tWWL (N):
[A] league source said Carroll is interested in the job and is trying to persuade USC offensive coordinator Jeremy Bates to join him in Seattle -- as opposed to Bates pursuing the same position with the Chicago Bears.
Said another source close to Carroll: "You're about to see a big headline that shakes up the major college football world," in reference to the Seahawks' development. The Seahawks did not confirm Carroll as a leading candidate but also did not deny it.
What's the deal Cheatey? Afraid to com"pete" when you might have to play within the rules in coming years? Are you a coward? More updates after the jump. GO BRUINS.
UPDATE II (N): More details from NBC Sports (N):
With no coach and no G.M., Carroll would likely be given full control of the football operations. Many believe that one of his first orders of business would be to hire Pat Kirwan of Sirius NFL Radio and CBS to handle contract negotiations and player evaluations.
Mort also reports that Carroll would bring with him to Seattle his current offensive coordinator, Jeremy Bates. The former Broncos quarterbacks coach has been contacted by the Bears, given that Bates worked well with quarterback Jay Cutler in Denver.
Right now on tWWL Mortensen is sticking by his story. Petey is anxious to prove he wasn't a miserable failure in the NFL, which of course is not true if you ask any Jets or Pats fan. He was exposed as nothing but a glorified substitute teacher when he had to play within the rules. GO BRUINS.
UPDATE III (N): Apparently per the LAT the Sea Hawks have already interviewed Cheatey:
The Seattle Seahawks, who today fired coach Jim Mora, have targeted USC's Pete Carroll as their next coach, The Times has learned.
A Seahawks contingent including CEO Tod Leiweke interviewed Carroll in Los Angeles earlier this week to gauge his interest in replacing Mora.
ROFL. What's the deal here Peat? All I can say thank freaking God, the Niners are not involved with this sleazebag. GO BRUINS.
UPDATE IV (N): Taking the discussion over Cheatey's possible escape from prison over here. GO BRUINS.

Huge News
Talk about changing the football landscape in Los Angeles. The decommits would be coming out of the woodwork.
He's not retired...THANK YOU!
IF this actually happens of course..
He's not retired...THANK YOU!
Oops!
We just posted the same thing! I’m watching Sportscenter and heard the report. Apparently he has been exploring a return to the NFL. Sanctions coming down? What’s your deal, Pete?
"The entire world that bleeds blue and gold ... they have been dying for this." - Coach Rick Neuheisel
this is the first time
that there has been “mutual interest”, am i correct? McKnight leaves, Corp leaves (though its more likely a result of PT) and reports indicating Pete leaves too..are the sanctions suffered by the basketball team a preview of whats in store for football? I’ll believe it when i see it but just a thought
I think you are correct
This happens every year, but I have never heard that anything about cheaty being very interested. I think he is pulling a calapari and sanctions may be coming. They are saying he is trying to convince Jeremy Bates to go with him. There is another quote that is interesting as well:
Said another source close to Carroll: “You’re about to see a big headline that shakes up the major college football word,” in reference to the Seahawks’ development. The Seahawks did not confirm Carroll as a leading candidate but also did not deny it.
"The entire world that bleeds blue and gold ... they have been dying for this." - Coach Rick Neuheisel
Even if nothing comes of it
as long as the rumors start to build louder, their recruiting may be damaged (even if it’s a player or 3).
"If you don't take out his battery, he's going to keep going all day."
It would not surprise me
Despite his self-designated “Humanitarian” label, Cheatey does what is in HIS best interest (e.g., telling Sanchez he would be a bust in the NFL to convince him to stay when he knew the QB cupboard would be left bare).
If it does not appear to him that $C will be on top next year or in the years ahead, he would bolt.
Then again, he would miss seeing his boytoy, Matt Barkley, if he left $C.
I say that man-boy love wins out. I think he’s staying.

"The entire world that bleeds blue and gold ... they have been dying for this." - Coach Rick Neuheisel
I want him to stay
so he gets exposed to the nation for what he really is when CRN & our boys spank them and paint LA in Blue & Gold
I was thinking that too
I want himi there to beat his a$$! Oh well, I think he is gone and that is also fine with me. I believe sanctions are coming.

I have really enjoyed seeing images of him after defeats against Stanford, OSU etc in the past couple of years. I would like to be able to enjoy similar images inflicted by us.
Sarkisian & co. knew the end was near
It wasn’t just Sarkisian that left—he took multiple coaches and backroom staff with him. Part of it could have been wanting a new start, but I think they knew that USC’s run was coming to an end. All teams that have a run at the top hit a rough patch of 2-4 seasons or so…I think they knew time was running out.

I won't hold my breath
but one thing is for certain: PC is getting another raise, either from the Seahawk payroll or from the giant vault that is United States China.
And if I am Neuheisel, I am going REALLY HARD at every SUC lean RIGHT NOW.

Yep, this could be really big for us in terms of recruiting.

Yeah, why not take it seriously
like the OJan blogs have done with the stupid Norm Chow speculation, in an attempt to damage our recruiting.
"If you don't take out his battery, he's going to keep going all day."
The only reason I love it
is because it is a sign of a sinking ship. I think he is a joke of a coach, so I like having him there in the coming years. He can recruit, but he has been leaning on his assistants to actually coach, and just doesn’t have it anymore. Within a year or two the empire would have been dust and he would have been getting his butt handed to him a la Stanford/Oregon even more often.
On the plus side, he sucked in the NFL before, and if he sucks again, I will smile very big.
I know it
If this happens, mark may and others like him will say that pete not being there is why they are heading south. The truth is, it will happen whether cheaty stays or goes and i would love to see him exposed. With that said, reading conquest chronicles right now is making my day. Those people are MOROSE and sooo worried!

Went to Seattle Times to find
this fishwrap story. Will link given the joyful possibilities. (undo the link if you wish, N)
A Seahawks contingent including CEO Tod Leiweke interviewed Carroll in Los Angeles earlier this week to gauge his interest in replacing Mora.
Mortenson just said on ESPN
“if Pete Carroll is not the Seahawks coach, it would be a surprise”
"I don't forget very much" Rick Neuheisel, 11/28/09
Mort is reporting
that is basically would be a surprise if this ‘does not happen’, at this point. This is the perfect opportunity that Carroll is looking for – control of both personnel and coaching decisions, and the NFC West is a weak, completely winnable division.
Actually
(and I appreciate the jab at $uc*) the Seahawks apparently are loaded with dough right now, which could also be a factor in the developing “perfect storm.”
Lots of money, leaves $uc* as one of the “greats,” gets control of personnel, coaches in a soft division.
Seattle, huh?
I didn’t care about Seattle much one way or another. If Cheatie goes there, then they’re my new least favorite team, ahead (behind) even Dallas and Oakland.
Could this be the end of the
one championship dynasty (oh and one other for pretend)? hehehehe

2 ppl close to pete carroll told me seattle dangling an exhorbitant amount of money at him. very substantial!
If Neuheisel
isn’t on the phone with recruits right now, he is missing a GOLDEN opportunity. This story is developing at light speed.
"I don't forget very much" Rick Neuheisel, 11/28/09
No worries Blue
This story is going to be dangled all over them NOW! Karma is a * for these Trojies after rumor mongering about Chow during recruiting season.
Here's a twist
“Also, Carroll has reached out about assembling a coaching staff for the Seahawks gig, which included reaching out to UCLA defensive coordinator DeWayne Walker.”
Wonder if that includes
the poodle as well?
"If you don't take out his battery, he's going to keep going all day."
ESPNNews
just said “a USC source said this is going to happen”, and USC’s target to replace Pete is Mike Riley.
Just imagine if we'd hired Riley after firing Toledo.
sigh
You have to wonder how different things would be.
Don't worry
if he takes the job, you will dislike him in no time! LOL!
"The entire world that bleeds blue and gold ... they have been dying for this." - Coach Rick Neuheisel
i hope they don't hire mike riley...
i like mike riley, i don’t want to hate him
Mike Riley wasn't a very good pro coach
and might have a hard time with $c’s “Student Athletes”
"If you don't take out his battery, he's going to keep going all day."
Why would Riley leave OSU
for a job that has no recruits, no AD (Garrett will go soon), and no remaining assistant coaches? I don’t see that happening.

As always, edit if needed, Nestor – I just want this stuff out there, and I know twitter isn’t exactly behind a subscription firewall.
I already hate the Seahawks...
but this would definitely raise it up a few more notches
Free Brandon Wood!
Nothing's happening til the fat lady sings
Stories like hits (even if slightly different) arise every year. Until the NCAA is actually breaking down the door and arresting him, Cheatey Petey won’t leave SUC. He’s making just as much in south central as he would in the NFL (and so are his players).
True
but this one is different from previous years. If petey was interested in staying at $c, he would deny this immediately to protect recruiting etc. Considering the bush investigations and other potential sanctions, coupled with the team starting to go south, I think he’s gone.
"The entire world that bleeds blue and gold ... they have been dying for this." - Coach Rick Neuheisel
I agree, but
circumstances are more than “slightly different” this year:
1. Seahawks are dangling A LOT of money, but more importantly, A LOT of power (GM is vacant as well)
2. SUCsters are coming off their worst year since 2001.
3. Looming sanctions.
4. Losing key players.
5. Pac 10 is looking much stronger than it did a few years ago.
6. PC has expressed mutual interest, and has been quick to deny these reports in the past.
"I don't forget very much" Rick Neuheisel, 11/28/09
The f**kin' slimeball
is bailing just in time to cement his “legacy.” Remember, it’s all about Cheatie and how others perceive his tainted tenure.
If he stays another year or two, and the NCAA somehow decides to finally punish just$c*, he risks being exposed as a fraud who rode the coattails of “student athletes” who were paid big money (cars, houses, etc.) to play in South Central.
If he leaves now, and the program takes a huge dive instead of just arcing downward, he looks even better to those who turn a blind eye to what everyone else in the world knows has been going on for the past 7 years.
F**k you, Cheatie, you primadonna a**hole.

He’ll run those chumps into the ground, just like he did in New York and New England.
I like Singletary. He’s a tough motherf**ker and the Niners play hard. Warner is on his last legs and Boldin is always unhappy. Once they’re gone, we all know what a joke Matty boy is, so the Cards will go back to being bottom feeders. Wouldn’t be shocked to see Larry Fitz make a big money move once the writing is on the wall.
The Rams? Hahahahahahahahahahaha.
I’m feeling my Niners for next year. Pick up a couple pieces in the draft and it’s looking good.
If PC does leave
it will be interesting to see how much say and how involved Garrett is in the search for a new coach.

F**K,
I wanted him to stick around so CRN could get his revenge.
I kind of feel sorry for Ken Norton...
NOT!!! No way Cheat Carroll will take him with to Seattle. Kenny was just used as a lap dog for recruiting.
