Former USC coach Pete Carroll makes the cover of Sports Illustrated this week. Does this count as another Trojan on the cover of SI?

No it doesn’t count as another Trojan on the cover of SI. I will say however that Pete will have the Hawks in the thick of the Super Bowl race again this season. Hes the real deal.
BTW, why do you call him Caesar?
Scott never eats salads so he uses them as nicknames for people
AH HA!!! so THAT’s why wolfman refers to you as Fruit Salad!!
ps–(it could be worse, he calls Jacky B “Tossed Salad”!!)
Because he ruled the Empire and had total control.
I like the next answer better though.
I thought it was “Lack of institutional control”
I don’t get it. Is that your idea of a joke, kiddo? If so, it misfired.
Actually it was bleepin’ brilliant.
Please check that, what kind of control? That goes beyond the head coach. Problem is, institution was in the dark. Read up on it.
Steve,
Come on, buddy. Denial is stupidity’s ugly cousin. Pete hosed you and ran like a little girl with a sack full of barbie dolls. If you still want to worship him, that’s your right as an American citizen.
Look forward to our game this year, buddy.
4 in a row will be hard to explain unless you want to credit “probation hangover”. Let’s check back in when you boys are 2 and 2.
Carroll was a great coach at USC and his record speaks for itself. Certainly not perfect, but he put together some tremendous teams, recruited fantastic players and generated so much enthusiasm over a very considerable stretch.
The Carroll years were absolutely a grand time. It was amazing to play both ND and ucla every year and know, going into the game, there was a 90% chance of winning while the forlorn little gutties and the Domers would be heading out at halftime because the game was already out of reach.
Agree… those were further USC glory years. But at the end, the program was showing signs of eroding and when Mark Sanchez decided to leave after his junior year, I just sensed PC threw up his hands in believing he had lost one-last natty-run that was within reach. An opportunity came a year later to escape back into the NFL and he was gone to fulfill his dream of a Super Bowl. Let’s not be too judgmental… John McKay did the same thing.
And Jim Mora will soon follow………
Who cares?
Wishful thinking?
No, not really….. just think about it objectively… there were 7 new head coaching positions filled in the NFL this past season…..Jim Tomsula, Jack Del Rio, Dan Quinn, Gary Kubiak, John Fox, Todd Bowles and Rex Ryan….I would guess that Mora is a much better head coach than at least half of these guys……Despite losing Brett Hundley and Eric Kendricks, this UCLA team is essentially intact and loaded for bear….They should wind up having as great a season as they have had in the last 20 years…..Mora’s stock will never be higher, and at 53 years of age, he would be in the middle group of the current NFL head coaches….Pete Carroll is second oldest at 62 years, behind Tom Coughlin who is 67 years old and perhaps ready to retire….Jay Gruden in Washington may be on his way out….and Ron Rivera seems to be hanging on to his job by a thread…..lastly, Jim’s ego may push him back into the NFL, although I think he should stay at UCLA…..so it’s not wishful thinking on my part……more of a gut feeling…..
If he goes, it would be his ego. I think he is better suited to the college game, but one never knows. At UCLA he has much better job security than the NFL, but I am sure he wouldn’t have trouble finding a college job again.
I doubt Mora will leave before UCLA completes the new FB Facility and he has one good shot at a CFB Championship.
When will Sark jump back?
A bruin for 4 years, a Trojan for life.
Now that’s what i call a fan✌️
Like OJ & Reggie.
#Chortle
Watch when Reggie comes back (I know you will), as he rightfully should – and the crowd goes CRAZY
That’s assuming the crowd is nothing but brainless rah rahs who can’t remember what they had for breakfast.
Whatevs Crotch Kick – Neither is in the minds of USC fans, and if they were, you would be the first one screaming “ooooh, those former trojans are back ooooooooohh”
darryl henley
Without possibility of parole.
Sweet Lucifer!! that Super Bowl screw-up has aged him 20 yrs!!
#GrizzledCaesar
He said no makeup
#3 ranked, 4 star TE, Isaac Nauta, just decommited from FSU…..6’4″, 240lbs….
Nice! And I heard he’s had interest in SC. All of a sudden there’s a bunch of TE’s with big interest in the program. I’ve seen him as a 5 star by at least one site. And there’s another TE from the East Coast who’s name I can’t remember who is very high in SC.
Wasn’t it TE’s that got Sark into trouble with his wife?
I have no clue please elaborate.
It was a joke about Sark’s rumored off the field endeavors. There were also rumors about Pete during his time at SC. I have no inside info on either.
It was a joke, but it wouldn’t surprise me. In high school our football coach had something going with a student. I’m sure it happens on all levels. Remember Bobby Petrino and his motorcycle accident with his student lover?
Wasn’t Erin Andrews rumored to be Sarks off the field squeeze?
Seriously?
It was just an unsubstantiated rumor, that’s all…..
Erin Andrews would be something to talk about if it were true.
Was Sarky prowling for young female students?
Isaac Nauta said he will make an Official Visit to SC for the USC-UCLA game.
All Natural
I thought just the opposite. He actually looks a bit better than he has in the past 2 years.
all that protein he has been taking in.
He looks older than Hillary in that unflattering picture.
You ain’t no walk in the park with your looks either Phuckett.
GEEZ LOUISE, what got you all fired up, ParaBeagle??? someone mustta poured Tapatio into your nightly bottle of Ensure!!!
#OhNoYouJustDINT
#AAAAAAAALLOuttaBubbleGum
Way to go, Pete.
It takes a special guy to move on from “the worst call in the history of the NFL”
It’s always easier to move forward when you have no conscience and a selective memory.
WANG for YOU
You on the WONG BWOG
Wang is dead to the trolls. …
Wang needs to follow Wolf’s formula and take on a more gossipy, sorority girl approach to Bruin football, and he will get more readership.
Why don’t you give us some clever metaphors, as per your name, Pilgrim?
And that was not a bad call, because if the QB does not throw the pick (he was the goat), Seattle now has two chances with over 25 seconds to score.
Walnut,
Thanks for the straight line.
Pete’s play call at the end of last year’s Super Bowl was like letting his opponent in an arm wrestling contest use a machine gun.
TrojanLights, Let your Light shine, Son. Coach Pete Carroll must be considered a Sports Illustrated University of Southern California Cover Boy. Gotta be !!! Fight On for Ole SC, and then Fight On to VICTORY !!! WE’RE NUMBER ONE !!!
Kool Aid
DEFINITELY A TROJAN
Next subject I predict will be… A card stunt photo from 1956
Or a poll……..
Or USC vs ucla
Less than a yard from a 2nd consecutive SB victory, and Little Petey Woodchuck “blows the layup.” No matter what Little Petey says, his horrendous blunder will always be a gorilla on his back.
C’mon. Owns even to Charlie Bucket, that was beyond the “PAIL”!!!!
#WhoopsIDidItAGAIN!!
And your resume?
Trolls a USC blog going by a name that includes the name a university he didn’t attend.
He majored in hating. …. at Azusa Pacific. ….
And no matter what else happens Pete will have 2 College Football National Championships and 1 Super Bowl Championship. How many head coaches have achieved that? Success at all levels and Championships are a thread that runs through Pete’s head coaching career.
Two 1/2 library card FB NC’s. As usual, Klownster’s love to ignore significant fact, and rely solely on Rah-Rah dreams and fantasy.
And ‘Clowns,’ what is your excuse for a mediocre career?
That is REALLY quite an overstatement, but then look where it is coming from. Not true at all.
“That is REALLY quite a overstatement…..” – how so ‘tevie. Please be specific.
Fact: LPetey blows the SB at the Patriots 1/2 yard line.
Fact: LPetey blows a guaranteed BCS Championship invitation because he loses to weakling UCLA team 13 – 9.
Fact: LPetey and the Klownster’s, leading by 12 with 10 minutes to go, loses to Tixas, in the BCS Championship game at the RB in the waning seconds of the game.
Fact: LPetey loses to a 41 point dog Stanford team at the crumbling mausoleum 23 – 21.
Fact: LPetey, in the face of an investigation into R. Bush’s illegal money payments, he ignores the consequences and uses Reggie in BCS Championship vs Oklahoma winning 55 – 14.
Bush’s contributions were minimal to LPetey’s victory, and strictly speaking wasn’t necessary to pound Oklahoma. But because Little Petey used Reggie, the Oklahoma victory was vacated,because Reggie was deemed ineligible by the NCAA.
Fact: According to LPetey, he didna know squat!
Need I go on “tevie.
True. Losing to Stanford, the ruins and Oregon State was catastrophic.
Way to put a photo of a nappy-looking, coarse, wrinkled PC.
Is Pete able to go out for dinner in Seattle yet?
Does he have a food taster like Caesar?
How is it possible a “slug” waxes so profound.
Except Scott. ….and Charlie Bucket. …and entire the Cadre. ..
That’s just two people you mentioned
So LJ, you would even be an animal with an attractive female Bruin?
Do they even exist? ….jk
Well, me think about that for a moment
Nope, I only need one second.
The answer: Are you kidding me?
Yep
Well, Carroll spends too much time in the sun, probably much of it without sun screen, so he shows the effect.
Still, I would have had some photo-shop work done on that picture before agreeing to have it shown to the nation.
