[gatortalk] [OrlSentinel] College football faceoff: Pete Carroll proves he's the best coach in many ways
[Next post will be of Jeremy Fowler's...stay tuned!] College football faceoff: Pete Carroll proves he's the best coach in many ways Andrea Adelson | From the Press Box12:27 AM EDT, May 3, 2009 *U*rban Meyer might be the hottest coach in America right now. But Pete Carrollhttp://www.orlandosentinel.com/topic/entertainment/pete-carroll-PECLB005395.topicis the best coach in America. Blasphemy you say, Gator Nation? I present facts and stats too compelling to ignore. Let's start at the beginning. It is hard to believe Carroll was the fourth choice to take over a floundering Southern California program in 2001, considering everything he has done to bring this program back to national prominence. When Carroll became coach, USC was coming off a 5-7 season. Its last Rose Bowlhttp://www.orlandosentinel.com/topic/sports/football/rose-bowl-game-EVSPR3556.topicappearance had come in 1995. Its last national title? 1978. Carroll had much work to do with the program in complete disarray. When Meyer came to UF in 2004, the Gators were coming off the inept coaching of Ron Zook, yes. But UF had a more recent history of winning and gobs of talent — so much talent that Meyer won his first national title mostly with Zook-era leftovers. Carroll won back-to-back national titles in 2003 and 2004, then played for another in 2005 with players he recruited himself, no traces of former coach Paul Hackett to be found. Not even Meyer has won back-to-back-titles. Carroll's teams have won at least 11 games in each of the past seven seasons, an NCAAhttp://www.orlandosentinel.com/topic/sports/national-collegiate-athletic-association-OREDU001.topicrecord, and finished in the AP Top 4 in each of those seasons. Oh, and his teams have won seven straight Pac-10 titles and appeared in an NCAA record seven straight BCS bowls. Complain about the losses he has had the last several years to inferior opponents, and we can make the same argument about Meyer (Ole Miss in 2008, Auburn in 2007, South Carolina in 2005 to name three). Tout the superiority of the SEChttp://www.orlandosentinel.com/topic/economy-business-finance/market-exchange/securities/sec-ORGOV50.topic, but the Pac-10 went 5-0 in bowl games last season. Let's face it: Carroll has done more to put USC back on the national map. He simply is the best coach around.

Woo Hoo! Congrats to Shane. You raised him well. -JNene On Fri 01/05/09 11:35 AM , Steve McKibben augiega...@yahoo.com sent: This isn't about the Meyer-Matthews feud. Today is the deadline day nationwide for this fall's incoming freshman to let the schools know of their decision as to where they'll attend. It came down to the wire in our house, but I just got a text from my son Shane letting me know that he will be sending in the deposit that confirms and holds his place in the class, to the University of Florida! As some of you know, I am not a UF grad - one of my biggest regrets in life is not taking school seriously AT ALL when I was in high school, and by the time I figured it all out, I was unable to realize my ambition to attend and graduate from UF. I've always hoped that my boys would want that for themselves and would be able to accomplish it. I've tried real hard to not force him to live out my dream, so I'm particularly excited that he came to this decision himself. I'm awfully proud of him, and can't really put into words how great/overwhelmed/emotional I feel about this right now. I guess I need to buy one of those My kid and my money go to UF bumper stickers now! GO GATORS!
