...he didn't. Putz.
sack 'o shit. But remember...this coach was always about helping develop upstanding young men. I know this because he told me so.
NCAA claims it has evidence at least one Assistant Coach knew all of the Reggie Bush stuff. How can Carroll make this statement with a straight face? He would be better off just saying no comment due to the appeal.
Perhaps under the desk.
has undoubtedly mentioned this elsewhere but how in the hell does McNair (the "assistant coach" in the report) not get canned after lying to the NCAA? AD Garrett or Prez Sample have to step in here, no? Tell Kiffin the guy's got to go?
I think most Michigan fans felt getting rid of Alex Herron was clearly the right thing to do.
Don't forget, both Kiffin and Orgeron were at USC when all this taking place. I mean, it's sort of difficult for Kiffin to push for the dismissal of McNair when they both likely knew what was going on. And who knows how many players Kiffin was greasing who did not win the Heisman and will never come to light? USC probably figures it would be better to keep McNair than dump him and risk having him start to talk.
would be saying that we should believe him. Why don't we believe Carroll?
Because he's not our coach. Do you really need to ask this question?
thing and wanted to try it. I'm annoyed at moral outrage coming from us--there is no evidence Carroll knew anything, and he deserves the same breaks we think our coaches deserve.
Because he's so obviously insincere.
And because he jumped the sinking ship.
gives you nice glossy "we're great so don't punish us for rampant cheating" scapegoating propaganda
Michigan's man up, full disclosure approach over the the smug blameshifting and denials of Southern Cal
It's the only way to go. Andy Geiger did the same thing 8 years ago, and it worked out fine. The bottom line is that 1) you shouldn't be fucking around and 2) if something goes down, get all hands on deck and address it as publicly as possible to avoid sanctions. Somehow USC didn't get the memo.
(1) now is the time to be concerned about "outside" influences interfering with the student athlete? Petey - you let agents/celebrities roam the halls of Heritage Hall with your personal invite. You don't wear sanctimony very well.
(2) I'm sorry "we, the Trojan family" have to deal with this? Are you disgorging your salary? If not, STFU - I'm sure Trojan fans, those that don't have their heads in the sand, don't need to hear this "we're all in it together" BS from you and Bush.
Let me show you my shocked face.
How could PETE CARROLL have known what was going on? He was just coaching the team to victory.
Dear Pete:
be more full of shit...
did iiiiiiiiiiiiii do that?
Yeah, fuck you Pete. Lying shitsack.
Can't imagine it hurts him too much with all his millions in the Pacific Northwest though.
Maybe there's something wrong with me, but I still kind of like Pete Carroll. Lane Kiffin can still go to hell.
That is pretty close, especially for a football coach. No wonder they had to agree to pay him $4 million.
bolted for the NFL knowing damn well that there was a shit storm brewing. He isn't at Lane's level, but he's not that far above it.
No maybe about it. There is something wrong with you.
That's what I figured.
Anyone else get the idea that this was filmed awhile ago - like before he left? He kept using the term "we" like he was still there and never made any statements about any specific sanctions. I just got the idea that someone at USC got the idea that they needed some responses ready to go in case the sanctions came out, so they filmed. Then he left, but USC kept the film. Wonder if there is another one in case they NCAA left them off. Just my opinion based on rank speculation.
Haha - I totally felt like it was fake or something. I was waiting for the laughter to start. I realize that it's Pete Carroll, and nothing is genuine. What a creep.
Is that Petey is very non-specific as to the NCAA findings. He talks about "the findings", talks about being "in shock", etc. But, nothing about what the NCAA actually released.
That's semi ludicrous. A school being investigated by the NCAA,that's hoping not to get tagged, isn't going to pre-record videos commenting on the NCAA's (future) hammering of them.
Does that mean that you think I'm semi-right? Or did you think I had mad flow and meant to type that I was semi-Ludacris?
An organization that faces the possibility of bad news wants to have a statment ready to go. They don't want to lose time finding a spokesperon, getting him back if he is travelling, getting a text prepared, having it run past legal, shooting it, and then releasing it. They want it on the same news cycle as the bad news. They want to get in front of the story. They may make other clips that cover other possible outcomes which never get used.
Do I know if USC did this here? Of course not - its just my opinion. (Though I did find it odd the Pete seemed to know about USC's decision to appeal before it was even announced.) The clip just felt generic and staged - like it was done months ago.
Are you enjoying being able to pay ALL your players now?
Someone needs, no begs, for a dong punch for expecting anyone to believe that load of bullshit!
And everyone wondered why Pete left...come onnnn! The Seahawks? More like "I don't want to be there when the sh*t hits the fan, so...NFL, here I come!"
Carroll is shocked! SHOCKED I tell you!
Expect more of this as college football continues its exponential growth.
What other business ventures in the workd generate such enormous amounts of money with virtually none of it going to the individuals most directly responsible for generating it?
It a little surprising that nobody has been able to create a sustainable semi-pro league yet by taking advantage of the NFL's “3-years out of high school” rule, the degree of disinterest in academics among modern college football players, and the country’s love for the sport.
Its hard to imagine this situation continuing indefinitely. College football is a unique institution in many ways, but I don't know how long its going to be able to keep everyone happy with the current scheme.
I think lack of depth for the first few years would be a major roadblock to the creation of a semi-pro league. Add to that what I imagine would be enormous costs for facilities, travel, lodging, and food (costs currently covered by us, the taxpayers) and you have a potential for bankruptcy that might scare away even the most optimistic of investors.
to see that there is gambling in the casino...
Section 1, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship
"Round up the usual suspects" is what the NCAA said.
"I'm so shocked by this, that I left the school before the findings were ever released in order to coach one of the shittiest franchises in a league I have had only the most marginal success in." --Pete Carroll
No of course I had no idea it was happening....o crap.
No of course I had no idea it was happening....o crap.
He's clearly not sorry at all for beating up Rihanna.
Same as the schools.
I think coaches who leave the school before sanctions are hit should be given 3 years off and if they bolt to the NFL they should be given 5 years from being able to coach an NCAA school.
After the third time you should get a life time ban.
You want the sports to clean themselves, scare the shit out of coaches when dealing with their livelihood. Coach Calipri would have 2 strikes and a 3rd would give him a lifetime ban.
This would stop schools from hiring these scumbag coaches, i.e. Indiana and Sampson or Kentucky.
There is one little exception, if the coach and school decide to stay together you just give them a 3 year post season ban and scholarship losses and maybe the coach cannot coach off campus or something.
Just my 2 cents.
That doesn't sound like a bad idea. But how to punish the players who have ended up screwing up current players (btw, RoJo, you should have gone here)? Although probably not a huge amount of hurt, the NCAA could remove the possibility for Bush to make any donations to the school. Any amount of money through whatever shill foundation Bush sets up can not go to USC. He's just as responsible as the school.
