handle the presser very well. Unlike Mark Richt who was quite openly supportive of Matt Strafford's decision(whether or not he's ready)...Petey was quite rude because of the kid decision. Maybe Mark isn't ready...nonethelss,Petey should be there for Mark...as Mark was there for SC.

Apologized for the "perception" of the news conference? That's a nice way of saying that he stands by what he said and that we all just perceived it wrong. Still a dick move.

Major dick move. I can remember reading a quote from Carroll in which he said the majority of underclassmen fail in the NFL. Ouch. You want your coach to be there for you, no matter what. Sometimes an elite program with 5-stars coming in every year has some juniors that take off to the NFL. As coach of that team, sometimes you have to deal with it in a way that doesn't make you look like a jerk.
In an unrelated footnote, a buddy of mine works for a media company here in LA that was selling tickets to dinner with Pete Carroll at the opening of the new ESPN Zone near Staples Center. He said he was having to offer big discounts because nobody cared.

people (even the almighty Carrol) to rethink what he did and try and cover his tracks. Still looks like an ass.
