Just close Skeet, they have to bring in Vikings DC Frazier for a token interview for the HC job. Then they can announce the deal!
Sam Farmer of the Los Angeles Times reports that Pete Carroll and the Seahawks are "close to a deal" that would pay Carroll $35 million over the next five seasons to be Seattle's coach and team president. Carroll has often attributed his mediocre record in New England to his lack of control over personnel. That wouldn't be a problem in Seattle, where the president tag indicates Carroll would run just about everything.
The only reson its "close" is cause of Rooney rule. Its already a done deal that Carroll will be next coach
Crazy, but I guess he saw his glory years at USC fading. Still, even if he flops miserably, there are only a handful of NCAA teams that wouldnt fall over themselves to hire him back. EDIT: Any PAC10 kids likely to go top 10/20 on draft day? Will be interesting to see if he pulls a Saban and drafts heavily from his own conference.
Damian Williams is also a guy that jumps to mind. Not at the #6, but at #15 maaaaaybe. They might think (probably correctly) he will be available in round 2.
