Can Carroll do it

[MTK]

Carroll is a god out there. If I were him I would stay put, compete for a national championship every year, and be perfectly content with the legend like legacy he's building on in college.

I mean its a fair point that Carroll might want to leave USC b4 the bush situation blows up in his face, but I honestly dont think the repercussions will be that bad. Certainly nothing more than one horrible year of recruiting which will still leave USC light years in front of the rest of the horrible PAC-10.

However for arguments sake, if he did want to make the leap back to the NFL, which coaching situation would be best for him? He would need to go into a situation that would allow him to turn around the team in 2 maybe 3 years, otherwise the media scrutiny would be too much. Atlanta doesn't fit this bill, because they are too far from being a good team. Blank is a patient owner and they need a coach for the long haul. Baltimore could be a possible fit because they have a good nucleus on the Defensive side as well as something to work with on Offense. Carroll would need a good supporting cast. The only fit i can see for Carrol (THOUGH I AM NOT ADVOCATING THIS) is the Redskins. We have a fast college style defense that employs a bend but don't break philosophy. We have an offense with a lot of potential including a young fresh out of college QB. Also we have the benefit of an offensive coordinator with a lot of pro experience that Carroll could defer to. As far as the players, Carroll is what Spurrier wasn't. He is a players coach that demands hard work. He will work the guys but will do so by reassuring them that it is for their own good. He will get guys to buy into his system unlike Spurrier. I think Carroll's stint at USC has really matured him as a coach and he would have learned from his mistakes in the NFL the first time around. Just some food for thought, but i don't want to see this guy coaching the skins (I still like Grilliams).
