``I'm thrilled for DeWayne,'' Pete Carroll said. ``He's a great guy. I hope we showed over the years how much respect we had for him when he was (at UCLA).''

Not VB but an incredible re-creation said:

Thanks Coach Walker and Thanks Coach Carroll for being such a class act and a role model for all the Pac 10 Coaches.

We don't always see eye to eye but you are spot on here.

Two class coaches. We will miss DWW.

Two fine molders of men. Right On!

Not VB, but VB Channeling VB said:

Pffft. Pfffft. PFFFT.

Ahhh, no Pete. I never recall you showing D Walker any love but nice to mention it now that he is gone you @#$%weed. When Rick leaves you'll say how much you respected him too.

Let me assure you. Pete clearly has no respect for Rick N or anybody else at UCLA. He's proven that. Not sure why it bugs me to have that idiot out there lying to everybody all the time.

Coach Walker

Good Luck with your new job. I know you will be successful. Coach Carroll thanks for stopping by and offering your congratulations. Perhaps some day Rick will be able to overcome his unfortunate past and also be a role model.

Game respects Game.

And Pete Carroll will show respect to Ken Norton Jr. after Norton becomes the Defensive Coordinator at UCLA.

And that says a lot considering Norton sent Presley over ahead of him.

Congratulations Coach Walker you are a class act, like Coach Karl Dorrell you are a dignified man. KD is a star, he won 11 games with the Dolphins and is on his way to the NFL playoffs, you will do just as well at NMS. You will return victorious to the Pac-10 in a just few years. Dan Guerrero was foolish to hire RN instead of you. RN will destroy UCLA football.

Brian, why did you have to put "at UCLA" in quotes from PC? Was he unwilling to utter the letters UCLA, or was it really just lost in verbal dialogue?
Thank you.

ART V here wow.

we are not worthy we are not worthy we are not worthy

Security Camera at Tito's Tacos near VB's House said:

Congratulations Coach Walker. Thanks for all your contributions to UCLA football.

mindshed said:

jcavbruin: the quote probably said "when he was there", so Dohn replaced "there" with (at UCLA)

The Gay Troll said:

Good to see the whole VB clan here to send off Coach Walker and to praise Coach Carroll.

Someone should do a haiku!

VB's Office Plant said:

Goodbye Coach Walker
Thanks to Pete for his comments
Rick you're on your own

If you doubt Pete's comments were sincere, remember that he had Walker on his staff with the Jets and again at SC. He obviously does respect his coaching abilities and character or he wouldn't have hired him twice.

Meanwhile, the "dream team" just lost a key member. With Rocky Long already taken, who are you looking at for the money you can offer?

Jill,

How does it feel to be in charge of the blog when two big stories hit the fan?
First Norton-Neuheisel and now Walker leaving.

You're doing a great job getting out the stories and follow-ups.

Is this the same Pete Carroll who advised DW against taking the UCLA job? The same Pete Carroll who complained numerous times to the media that DWs defense was playing dirty against him in the UCLA/USC game this year?

Typical two faced Pete Carroll. Whether its advertising his nighttime philanthropy but not the nightime cheating on his wife, or sending Norton to make baseless accusations against CRN because Carroll is too cowardly to do it himself, it is just more of the same lies and doublespeak you can expect from Pete Carroll

When Pete Carroll retires, Dewayne Walker will coach the Trojies... and he will kick our ass.

Exactly where is your evidence PC is cheating on his wife? I visit here to see the other UCLA take on stories, as I visit Wolf's blog...but the low class vitriol that finds its way onto this blog is amazing. And after Jill told people to knock it off earlier today. You bruin honks oughta be real proud of yourselves. I won't be back.

mindshed said:

"I won't be back."

rofl. Let me know how that works out.

The next time you're back :P

Deep down, PC probably didn't want to see the nation's 48th best DC leave UCLA. Odds are, the Bruins can find someone in the top 45 to replace him.

ANON @ 12:39AM = VILLAGE IDIOT said:

Please don't threaten us with not coming back!!! OMG what will we do??!!!

I only wish the other PUSC Trolls were as dumb as you and followed through with that "threat".

Try not to let your blood boil. I know, being the troll that you are, you will be back and reply as another name...

Cheaty Peetey should worry less about offering disingenuous congratulations and more about keeping his players (fullback Stanley Havili) academically eligible.

Respect is indicated by actions, not words you slimy idiot.

Walkers said:

This is a excellent site and filled with good information. Thanks for sharing this.
