He got the '98 Patriots to the playoffs with Drew Bledsoe, Terry Glenn, Ben Coates, and Ted Johnson out with injuries. I watched them clinch a playoff berth by beating Steve Young and the 49ers with Scott Zolak at qb.
Bobby Grier was more of a problem with that organization than Carroll was. In 3 years Kevin Faulk and Robert Edwards were the only players Grier ever drafted that panned out.

This guy shouldn't worry about the rookie cap. He won't be a high enough draft pick to matter.

He might want to worry about a lockout. He may be worried about Pete leaving. And, he definitely won't get drafted if he doesn't get on the field or gets injured again.

Alright I'll take back that he "failed". But he was an extremely average NFL coach, and this is just a dumb move by Seattle to go and get him. They just fired another coach who shouldn't be an NFL head coach, and now they hire another guy who shouldn't be an NFL head coach? It's not smart.

A couple of other entries and one returning to school...

(10:00 AM): USC WR; ‘Horns safety enter draft.. Southern California junior WR Damian Williams and Texas redshirt sophomore safety Earl Thomas are the latest underclassmen to have announced they will be leaving school and entering the 2010 draft where both are projected to be mid-to-late first round picks.


Hogs QB confirms no draft this year ... Arkansas redshirt sophomore QB Ryan Mallett has announced that we will be passing on the 2010 NFL draft and returning to school for his junior season next fall.

The NFL is the only place he can go. If Herm coaches him, he'll be beat like a wet mule, e.g. LJ. He won't have any respect at USC. I'm getting a premonition about his career path following three RBs that went behind bars.

And there is some talk here...

...that if the Washington HC becomes a candidate and accepts the USC job that Locker may opt for the draft. Stay tuned.
