Pete’s on the Hot Seat

A 10+ win season.  Pounding a Big Ten team in the Rose Bowl.  Finishing in the top four of the polls.  And sending a number of players to the NFL, many of whom will be drafted in the first round.

I’ve come to expect nothing less from Coach Pete Carroll.  And I’m sick of it.

This season Oklahoma had many great accomplishments, but two shine above the rest.  Their quarterback, sophomore Sam Bradford, won the Heisman Trophy.  And, more importantly, they moved above a number of one-loss teams (Texas, Texas Tech, Penn State, USC, and Alabama) in the BCS to claim an appearance in the national championship game against Florida.

Both of these achievements were due to one thing:  Offense.

Well, it’s official.  Current USC offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian will be the new coach of the Washington Huskies.  USC’s offense will never be the same again.  The Rose Bowl will be the last time to witness play-calling that no mortal man can comprehend.

Sarkisian’s creativity (his brilliance) is in his lack of creativity.  He follows the mantra that the best offense is a good defense.  And since he isn’t in control of the USC defense, he applies this rule the best way he can:  By essentially telling the other team’s offense that he thinks it sucks.
