Pete Carroll, Seahawks Head Coach

Welcome back doesn't Callahan fourth and final dollar of our fifth and final day of the week. -- is the fault -- is somebody who what needs no introduction around here but I'm gonna give him one anyway Pete Carroll. Became -- Seattle Seahawks -- head football coach back in January. That of course after nine seasons that FC where he put together. Pretty impressed -- seven consecutive pac ten titles. Two national championships led the trojans to a 97 and nineteen record up to a ball in each of his nine seasons 17. And also coached three I've been trophy winners and Carson Palmer Matt Leinart and Reggie Bush Pete Carroll joins us some AT&T hotline brought to you by AT&T. -- possible good morning.

On the left. And it could be independent of the Pacific Ocean. -- it started out as well.

Upbeat got a new book out it's called. Winning forum or amber. What's the book in just a second. The book tour though right. They are done plays and stuff this didn't you just the ticket Joba -- NFL franchise that you got time Google book war. -- I don't think -- students also angry.

I like that elected that's what they've with that we are -- little break here. So this -- about a big effort on we I don't get to put the buttons is really all. Or is it raising money for the foundation. -- that are related though after the election into the lesson if.

What -- win forever mean --

It's about it being the best in these you know everybody would like it was everything it can't let -- we certainly try that but if you do one everything. Be the best beating -- and and and applies. Oh well on on football. But there. Quote a player. But it that we that's just setting up -- by the way. That's in the air all of ever talk about. In it's really -- the battle was so are the sheriff. And at about that -- that's.

You talk about it and in in the book the one of the most important lessons you learn when you were coaching in the National Football League is that everybody has to be on the same page. To achieve the goal that -- looking for. Isn't that easier said than done in the pros versus college kids -- look at that shouldn't say you have coach whatever -- do I'll do. As opposed to some pros who have their own agenda.

Well yeah I think you're right it's. More difficult as the young guys just go into -- state is true and that they don't only benefit as the player development. Somewhat of -- themselves in the current president that -- little bit harder. That's correct and make sure that your negative with individuals and all well you know on what they need -- which is not part of you know. Really communicate into the -- that we are electability. So it's it's that look at different note that it's not that much different because that but it won't be great and I think -- NFL players -- so serious. About a special and a career. -- the -- and that is that such despite with.

go back here wants to know -- and we know you can't when in the NFL lot of quarterback. Is Matt Hasselbeck your quarterback he's 34 years old is personally good dozen years he's been banged around is is -- your number one guy.

You don't really what's. Come in this job it was one of the aspects of the I was checked we have a quarterback it's late in the business while a lot has been banged up left up yours. But which -- met at the best parts of Latin. Even with you on a click -- in -- elect urged. The question -- work. They want itself really -- all in the postures are a competition. That is in the sense of bail -- that -- one after. In which it is forced. -- The step up and have a -- also gave Trout at. And in the first is this your career that it -- urged or position and met at a rip -- and did everything that the all of our. Let just about everything that -- in order it was it was cool seeing him take it take to -- in and not. That there Saturday in any way -- one -- so as we re -- in but -- he. Art -- that don't support it well we need to protect it on the let's -- yours should anybody get hurt someone and it is much yet.

You when you dump LenDale White was that sending a message that we as a.

Well it it is certainly. It's certainly did in the race raised some eyebrows around you know be because these Nazis all that. But it wasn't meant that just wasn't the right. -- I love the opportunity given the chance that look you can get a chance that it just wasn't that -- so when it moved on and and now which in the best of the -- looked up and and if -- start.

How much of the brain drain is there as you try to ramp up your first season with the team I'm -- I'm wondering if you if -- immersed herself. In the stats and an and the reasons why the team won some games the team -- the reason the team did what did you -- there are some we have to tell you are you have to look at the -- in -- first down to the comedy offensive plays such a time of possession. Your turn -- sugar sector field goals all those kinds of things wrapping up the first is has to be pretty difficult since you're just get a second hand information about your team right.

Well -- that you know. We had played -- the end of watts that's going on it was a in this just in just just. To see his goal of what what street there's -- In the last two years Mike was in the of his career on the just had trouble in going in that transition locked up. That as it happened. And in this kind of lost the momentum and so you know it into a situation which in 19 games the last two years and -- hungry and ready though and that's where you want. Report in the just -- the at this -- particulate it was. Really shifted the roster. And in that -- which are Snyder as some in the -- the general manager in size than just a great job. Of of competitively -- after the opportunity to elevate the cup is on the roster and that we had a a very strong perhaps as Netflix would right now. You know just they would go on. Of course to get younger you know and that's not in the it was all part of the Packers. Really they're. Yes that would that somebody young guys in -- and never had any problems that the plain old freshman and buy it or not and if Bob or that that approach. Over the port so interchange and -- and it's a very exciting and are desperate to -- across. Thrill as stated in one that my taxes than in the -- was let out of practice. In focus and intensity going like the you know like we had practiced and so so many years -- city and -- you can't tell the difference between. On a practice that now. The guys are prominent coaches us everybody there was a nationally that was really and cherish it so we're now it's echo that is right. Well like in fact that the in in this incident offseason the the greasy first and then speculative and -- government you know September.

They would do audio book tour to promote win forever you do all the interviews do you every standard stock answer the question I know you get from every single interviewer. Did you leave USC's six months ago or whatever was to escape the NCAA penalties I've read one of your answers is a standard stock cancer or does it change.

It is. On the core courses that does as if -- because that's what app. I got all out of nowhere. With. And it says that that there is evidence fallout. In an effort to they wanted to change a program they wanted to be there bring everything that I do everything believe it is their club. And they wanted to evidence to support that happen. The -- of the arms started in -- direction. About -- out of -- vision agent. Was just it was just perfectly lined up with a great opportunity in the way that always figured it would have to be accurate -- on the spot. In itself it was not only be stopped. Is it just couldn't see any organization based in. That this statement is in the what you command in in you know most of it that it takes -- so. When they that it all on and took a look at in that this is tremendous. Following it at great stadium. I atmosphere. It's loud as stated though that passed in -- ever won any games. As ready or -- of random extraordinary place and experienced quarterback -- could be up for grabs -- the turnout you know where that we are that that gave us opening and it on and on all of that -- is it just right. And that's so. Being a competitor -- in knowing that only in order there was a chance to compete on this level with all of those elements that much out. Have been so consent and so yeah. It may shift in Mosul our transition it's so much -- and this is you get knowingly get tested with the so here's it was just an awesome. I'm -- and -- the go the most.

The other reason -- we west too early while you know won't go on a book tour now. Is it just bad timing because it comes on the heels of the USC section -- going to be asked about it everywhere you go I know you put out. A YouTube video saying you were shocked by the when NCAA brought the hammer down. But did you always skip the sense that Reggie Bush was was pushing the envelope didn't you know that that they might come --

Well you know we have so many years that. -- that that the truth of what the stocks were. In not as it ever in that it could be. Taken to this level of severity of so let's. I was caught up part of that. I did just didn't think that's I Willie watch it's it's it's it's not mine and yours alt alt. And in that investigation. And all in what happened. Years ago insult. It was a factor in -- happened so that's the first thing that. It's it's still it's a difficult situation in when he put so much subsidy to such great -- so much. So only people on all have to do that now it was it is very difficult what I have to do it. Stand up for schools stand up for the program and critic get. In this effort here it. If you know opportunity in in the -- in my day is an opportunity is open with a program called outlook. It's -- that the put itself. This statement of what we're trying to do the standard that would set expectations thing. Really better than it's ever done everything -- order that included where we are kids elements. That is included are included that -- the graduation rates. One who -- all -- get -- approach. So. In essence I don't expect it's difficult. But this it's -- government standards are really seven that -- overall.

Do you call or do you blame Reggie Bush is that is it his fault.

Well I start let us start with this -- the one -- Well -- university. Setting in any connection with this person decided -- tragic events. And good fortune. Well as well in. Doubt as well yeah. Got some observations on was relationships. With threats in this summer now. Put -- situation. -- a player is involved damage and all. And and the very justice that's one -- really. Universe. Just I think it's worse. Everybody understands and cares about out. -- that up. -- affect. There are certain there was speaks makers' decisions that. And I wish I would -- thought we -- stop that we just happen. Behind closed doors. Underneath the table and dark shadows that that they kept its promise we didn't know it. -- have to is on the net news. It. -- the enemy. Targets and really unfortunate. But Lane Kiffin has jacked up about it. -- urged that they've they've really on the -- Back up. Which in order to have a very. Back to go where they. Are put in in an urban America and make it which was that the each -- help anyway it.

we -- the SE portion of the conversation with this a month ago with the NCAA came up referring to the NCAA. You said they had no basis for because it really really harsh. Sanctions I believe was the quote. And you said now the word is out reference in the NCAA you can do this one person can do this who after university and the kid and nothing has to be true nothing has to be true. They just have to make claims and then the investigations. And all that are underway you. You you obviously softened on that a -- understand there's there was more there at that than about a month ago.

All in this. It was as direct my comments towards that the university. All it does happen in. That's route we -- we didn't know so that the problem with that is that. If we didn't know Internet that's really. What -- really don't own direction this is not a -- university community or booster got eight players to come to school so that. It was one guy trying to make money off all cute and but let's start the business built around them and that's. And in particular the guy you know was was would do everything you possibly do that it makes up -- vertical like this -- that was. There are -- art -- all of that so. It's just doesn't -- hated that all of this was ever players in the future brought up at one when it went to do. When it went to the pain that they need to stop people come to practice. And not let people on the sidelines during games and it felt that that environment that -- so so missed it or so whatever outlined. People -- saw. Go on being an extraordinary. Environment around our program in that we -- openly -- it's only a -- That were able connect this -- to reach out -- letters the benefit of interacting. People and that issues and concerns while our program that given it to that was so amazing that -- of that. What they'll ever Kyle and and they just the endowment and -- that would -- or leave it was. As so I don't get all all work and donated a upset because they -- were there yet this act steps so. They sit it is what it is at this point it's support and a lot of -- you know. -- picked up greatly but that.

Hey speaking in York nine years that SE how many times did you say no. The the National Football League -- to have a job open it's in your name came up with a Miami or wherever the case may be how many times you say no to somebody called and said -- we would like to consider bringing humans -- head coach.

Really it was it was convenient that don't mean they're it's like every year -- with three different. Such as that at any any real pest. And -- airs this summit percent of we've got an opportunity. I can hear what has. And in that. -- it never got serious that's Erica when it was chest because nobody ever put that together. That was even attract also happiness is that you do that but really when it did finally come. Seattle it's just what active account or pick up a competitor and it went when he have a chance to compete on well. It was all of the -- that the with a great opportunity to it then it just changed or so it looked like now here's the top edged out well -- there's not an argument up the puppet. Want all all done with any of those couple chances there we can't help that. So what this really. Probably all our it was a tremendous owner -- laws trailblazers you know in any extra vote in it because -- what alt well you haven't. Support that I don't know if you. Is the only candidate a regular. And it is that it's really. Clear of format that it just checked -- percent opportunities.

You're right about to you're doing on experience briefly but you write about life in New England I didn't really have a philosophy as a coach at that time. I found it interesting you went to see before your last game and -- three years there. He went to -- craft you wanna know what the deal was we told you plan out your fired before your last game. You go out and win that game you say you had no idea here. Where you gonna end up after that but why did -- when did you ask him why.

Well I think it urged an you know I don't remember that the specifics in the west of stated to. Oh well I want to be read that basket. In another. Great. Let me -- in Georgia that has ball and it that was in you know it was desperately wanted it to be get back 88 at least -- we finished up and so but. Remember that was the mistake it was -- was under you know all all all the efforts to get that thing going that was all the talk about it among. Needed the moment demand is on. To move or you just got a script and the traffic to support the all that might get that tactic that was a big part of it and -- it happened business news -- obvious we all want -- far but we just really mr. Alpert is really is to step orders it's her record it even in the dirtier or six that it that the great everybody. Topic when it first -- it was too early or chicken but just just lost or -- in the second. So it could have been different but under the circumstances in you know and mr. Laporte. Like picnic and that because -- well -- relationship at all. But it has determined that this structural but it wasn't appropriate public back in ought ought to have a lot open and and known now. Which in and out of my reaction to the to the finals there's -- in the picture. People voted in top eight or needed to get this thing that --

pat -- this week long ago.

They Bob Kraft had to deal Belichick. And placed the.

Oh don't care about that I was just. About what it wanted to win that we wanted to let it just wasn't -- and so you know not really as pivot back to much like Metallica -- What happened because of what it does struggle. Well pit stop on its forces are on exactly what we like to change in it or speed speakers out two well thank -- only because --

You don't know. -- not.

The palace and at -- artists aren't some opportunity and -- hit it didn't end in paternity you know suggested that. It is a million people in the.

You nailed you nailed the door shut to the back stairway Iran does know going up the back stairway in Seattle.

It peaked at that right that there's only one -- go to our apartment you know it's it's gonna canard -- not participate or. You know and it so we can pick your decision they can become -- I. How different that field -- an organization.

It before a question do all the things that you read about in your book due to the principles Lagos of of win forever those things a 100% of the time. Translate from college to -- to business and end in life. They all apply.

John -- a suspected. -- get -- post -- not too long ago. Chipped it goes on to win. To adopt a dust up. The number two that's confused kind of resources tips for inspiration tournament. -- on this thing but it talked Cogent and in the -- straightened. Appears black president but she changed a lot in the next inning it looked like I was like -- you'll get -- what are an aspect -- Coaches don't change ops fusion between swastika on your court which he. The players chains and that's where things shifting. It becomes when it is an -- couldn't have been more than it could have been more troops and ethical -- Once sitting there in it. And state -- to help. A lot spears Vista attitude spent it don't do that even a -- and leave it that's I think. One of record industry extra that so it's all so. I'm -- the chances that any of that stuff. However there's -- the players are different though lol gonna cut express hit the big picture and outlook and it's a deterrent aspect. People adapt. BP has a different style attacks on the course. But it took or help people become the best to compete in order changed. I can't do that in the front -- better than they have ever been done before. Every day that -- work that's somewhat competitive those aren't productive -- principle although it is spent. Well it just and -- network. That we are the correct order back what is it that being in June that might get picked.

It will all endorsement you have on the back to the book cover I would say the John -- what I think is the is the most impressive. Mean you got Paul Allen got Mia Hamm got Roger Goodell hectic up Bill Clinton for crying out -- but what is the one that I would I would emphasize the good -- on the on the -- It.

Coached all that's been you know we have a long time relationship is very clear. Really really thrilled integrity. This has got some but it is already passed or it just Google. Oh look all that unbelievable inside the end just real had a question. He just felt like the standard because that's really important that -- have -- in Arkansas are so as it is just treatment for our ambition. What this literally has his working in the -- it. Communities of Austin -- the same excuse. The girl and then really the stabilizer a bit so much success at long art fundraising you know. -- And that the proceeds from the book on direct hit it -- record and that's workers and working in the street so itself Obama push it also retirement speculation that. Com and -- really appreciate it -- that word out about vodka.

Area I would tell you we would sell you more books of that Good Morning America think you're wrong of the there was that was -- trick -- that are currently does not only had -- the --

Just to jointly and the dark about where the accusers as our interviews and stuff. So called -- hero or this or -- it -- and in and in orange county and LA today.

The -- called win forever live work and play like that championed by Pete Carroll -- thanks that's not good luck with the book -- talked it down the -- the seizing control. Our. Kicker Pete Carroll doesn't Alabama AT&T hot line brought to you by AT&T rethink --

Mean makers all have a job that I ask a question yeah and it means defense. Could easily price and of the bus but prominent us it's Friday night to get over. From under the desk yeah I mean area yet his headphones on the -- and he was. Sydney airport -- we gonna say yeah we -- also that you say we kissed his and I look at you just not just the right questions but I felt like. You could give me the exact same innocent or he's funds own -- so I -- what do we miss.

You didn't miss the old one thing you missed it by my follow Opel division -- the other night and so real sports and retreat amid a good point this is after the fashion of them but for a guy who called himself the president and GM. Of USC football. There's not one way it knows not one chance I don't believe that he did not know about Reggie Bush.

Here's like myself Lloyd lake one and -- Michael Michaels what do we knew. What do people don't know because bush could stop it. And on what President Bush in the us Reggie you gauzy get your parents out of that house that you parents out of the house who thinks -- He is a fine line between you know. Enabling these superstars and enable them maintain -- level play. They all have to dance along that fine line he obviously pushed it and broke the rule any possible. Appointment -- if if he did that if he gets -- you can get plays there if you don't look the other way at certain times certain places. Anything much you should ask you does that too and with that they all look the other way at certain times Obama that he -- the way other way for nine years. Probably right probably right that they win and called triple -- survive that you make. 045 million dollars a year.

Human many places without shooting Nick -- never been a provision. And I'm not all -- Saban a -- getaway.

You don't think he overlooks the -- deflating do you think with. In the Heisman winner. Voted Ford do you think Matt -- though marketing and marketing moment Mickey might look the other way mark Ingram pulls in the parking lot today and has a new escalated. Do you think I'm just say does let me see the -- let me see the title I wanna know where you get the money I wanna know why did you just politico. He probably let's secure a problem let it go but it's not a base price the I didn't say it's right and in sits right. I wanna know what you do about it if if Reggie Bush pulls in the parking lot and Monica.

Get about -- don't you talk to pick Reggie Bush and yes yes yes that you're you're strongman in your moral man yeah if you do. And and you wanna continued recruit kids get them to and I think I think I did I think there's a lot of kids and a lot of parents that would say you know hour ago put elected. I Reggie Bush is cheating I don't want -- MIT.

What do you think USC had almost down year's models. Coaches and irrelevant to go -- recruiting bright and wise -- a good recorder. Just -- this is why don't we -- that he enables and winds. And the reason he made USC so successful is that Hollywood and he invited so I -- all the credit for -- that's -- again all these days -- the assumptions that -- on him to practice John Robinson a -- too -- to -- couldn't capitalize on that I don't know why they -- coach that comes in the US to use it on a gold -- necessarily -- it's -- BC lot of competitions. More things to do in Los Angeles you know -- feel like -- in Nebraska Alabama -- you still has been weighed down that's -- new -- that -- is done and done. -- was -- again they'll be on top you'll probably be the next USC. Neuheisel go from your silly USC you know don't say they'll have an eleven Renaissance like Carol and then get nailed for look all come back in eight or nine dollars. And you know that and the bag cash when the -- Marcum and -- in a it was a -- everything -- well what metric known -- didn't exactly live on campus. It wouldn't sink us like you like like the Dallas Cowboys in the White House which is right next on the practice field. His parents house that the agents and for once we enter -- two hours away.

You know everything. Everything yes you met him for a five million dollars a year is that coach because from you that you that you have to be the CO -- what he did to Nicholson. -- I do covered I've always say is a great guy talk for twenty minutes last. At the -- but it was phenomenal it's hard to and that's the beauty of his recruiting as well is that he has that gift which is why not it's so hard to believe. He blocked the way at this moment just because the Seattle Seahawks call. Didn't. He walked away because they're -- back thermal takes and fired up. Electricity -- your worst job there's your high horse but under your desk. Yes it does is pretty money to get joke or not. Everything known around the league is aware of law that -- and it's. Quarter past -- pacing and -- it'll let my advice for Israel's right.
