The Super Bowl Thread

[punch it in]

I refuse to give carroll credit. He won a division championship with parcells team before he let that team go to shit. He cheated at usc and jumped ship. And now because of his stadiium gets homefield advantage thruout the playoffs. Sanfran would have beat them at home. I think the denver broncos along with the entire afc would have been outclassed by a handful of nfc teams tonite. I give full credit to the seattle gm for bringing in these players. But most importantly i cannot stand him. Lol thats my take and im sticking to it.

Yea he just won a superbowl where he was the main guy responsible for bringing in a lot of those players. They were tied for the best road record in the NFL this past year. San Fran had a chance to get homefield, but they lost important games they needed to win... two of them at home.

Seattle won it and Carroll did an outstanding coaching job since he got there. If only he had signed with Washington instead of the immortal Mike.

Sour grapes.

Carroll is heavily involved in personnel. He hired the GM there and has total control.

With your Anti Carroll attitude you belong on the 49er Webzone where I am slowly phasing myself out. I don't know what you know about college athletics but the football program is usually the bread winner that supports a lot of the other sport programs. Alumini and fans support winners a lot more than losers, so usually it is a win at all cost mentality. All the top university officials know what goes on and so does the athletic director. Pretty sure unless you are at Yale where most all the parents are wealthy cheating goes on.

I was on a D3 team over 30 years ago where players were paid and clothed. It wasn't a lot but it was more than you could make on a full time minimum wage job, and there were frat type houses where you could live and eat for free on top of that. Pretty sure nothing has changed I bet 95% or more
of the football programs cheat, some just get caught more than others.

Seahawks are built the right way, but to listen to ESPN guys say there D will be good for the next 7 years is a joke. They are all going to want to be paid, can't keep everyone the test to greatness is if they can get guys to fill into spots when guys leave.

I'm curious when some of Seatle's star players are up for free agency. I'm assuming that most of this team will be intact next year, but after that, I believe Okung, Wilson, Sherman, and possibly others will be in line for BIG salary increases. Give Schneider and Carroll credit - they've built this team the right way, through shrewd drafting and a few excellent FA signings.

I doubt that it is a joke. The new TV contracts go into effect next year, and will hit the cap in 2015. The cap will be going up in 2015 and each successive year for a while. They will not be able to sign everyone, but will have the chance to sign enough to keep them good. Not like in years past where the cap was rising but slowly. In 5 years, the cap could be a pretty significant jump from the $120 mil it is now and Seattle wont be needing to sign many FA's.

I dont care i despise him. Lol. You know how in sports thee are just certain players or coaches that you cant stand?

[SFREDSKIN]

I would give this guy more credit than Schneider, as soon as he left SF and went to Seattle things changed there. This is what he did in SF before Seattle, impressive. Lure him to DC.

Scot McCloughan–now a Seahawks exec–had it right about the 49ers… and had them built right when he left | Talking Points

I don't get how anyone can't like Pete Carroll. The guy is 62 years old, has the energy of a 30 year old, he sets the tone with competition, let's his players be themselves and obviously can coach. Is there anyone else who's won a national championship and a Super Bowl?

Didn't Jimmy Johnson?

Don't forget Barry Switzer too. Although given the team we root for, it's easy to see why most people here would forget.

To me that doesn't count because Switzer won it with Jimmy Johnson's Dallas team.
