More Patriot magic
Since Bill Belichick has taken over as the Patriots' head coach...Pete Carroll has won two NCAA national titles. How bizarre. Just keep that in mind whenever any college coach is being hyped as a struggling NFL team's saviour.
And I don't necessarily mean to imply that Carroll isn't a good coach, just that it is a very different game. The combination of the way he handled (or mishandled) the differences like recruiting, player mentality, game speed, the level of player depth and skill, and playbook complexity somehow allowed Carroll to go from being booed to raising a trophy.
And before you start to think that I am implying that Carroll is a good coach, I'll just point out that in the game story, his name isn't even mentioned.
