I wonder if Pete will get any offers in college or pro. yeah he'll be 73, but is a very young 73. He obviously still wants to coach.
His philosophy is so dependent on elite players at all levels of the defense.
There is no give and take, with Carroll’s defense. It will work with elite players but without you are scraping the barrel and holding on with masking tape.
We can easily see why it doesn’t work:
1st level defense: 3 or 4 man rush; these can’t to the QB, you are too have a long day
2nd level defense: Wagner speed is gone; coverage skills not great, Wagner lets receivers catch and then they have to make the tackle; this year alot of missed tackles
3rd level: terrible tackling, out of position DBs and cushions and zone coverage doesn’t play to players cornerbacks strengths.
This was a collection of bad decisions and game planning this year.
All three levels of defense has massive holes in them and collectively makes Carroll’s system dysfunctional and will not work….
Here’s the kicker, it’s really been like this for the last 7-8 years since Seattle’s defense has been solid….
