He’s currently tied for 6th in COTY odds with Harbaugh who has a former MVP as his QB. Mike Mcdaniel is 2nd despite having the same record as Seattle with a hilariously stacked offense. Campbell is +175 and Carroll is +1600 despite Seattle having the same record as the Lions, beating the Lions, and the Lions had a higher pre season win projection so not like they’re some big under dog.
Pretty much every “coach ranking” list doesn’t even have him top 5. Sometimes he’s like 10th. While a guy like Tomlin is consistently top 3-5 depsite not winning jack shit for ages. He hasn’t won a playoff game since 2016 yet he’s a top 3 coach but Carroll is barely top 10.
Make it make sense. The guy took a QB no one thought was worth anything and turned him into a great starter and the old QB looks more and more like a Carroll product. Yet somehow he gets no respect.
I’m just glad were mostly past the Pete Carroll Wars and every conversation isn’t about how he’s a terrible coach. Wherever in the top 15 or whatever people want to rank him I don’t personally care
Nobody cares about lower Alaska in the national media sadly.
Same reason KW3 and woolen lost the ROY last year, why were currently leading the NFC west and were ignored again IMMEDIATELY after the niners traded for Chase Young. National media footprint does not include Seattle.
Record for Most Consecutive Weeks as #1 on AP Top 25
- USC Trojans: 33 (2003-05)
- Miami Hurricanes: 21 (2002-03)
- Georgia Bulldogs: 19 (2022-pres.)
Guess who the Trojans’ coach was??? ;)
The man is a coaching legend!
