the team was alrerady set up to be good and make a serious run in the playoffs they just needed the extra push, the right coach to do it

I'm not sure. Bob Stoops have never coached in the NFL so who knows how good he'd be. Pete Carroll was not an impressive NFL coach. The numbers escape my now, but he has an overall losing record as a pro coach.

I guess, I'm gonna say Stoops. We may not know how good he'd be in the NFL, but we know Carroll can't cut it.

Pete Carrol

Pete Carroll

College Coaches have a poor track record in the NFL.
(SEE Nick Saban)
To lead an NFL Franchise the coach has to have experience and credibility as an NFL Coach.

Pete Carroll has been a Head Coach in the NFL before and the players know it.

pete carroll ...but neither one is gonna leave heir own heaven
