Seahawks hire Carroll
The Seattle Seahawks have signed former USC Trojans head coach Pete Carroll as their new head coach.
It was a short coaching search for the Seahawks, who seemed poised to get Carroll from the start.
Carroll has had two previous stints in the NFL with the New York Jets and New England Patriots and had mixed results.
The coach had tremendous success at USC, and maybe staying on the West Coast will benefit him.
The team gave him a five-year contract worth $35 million, so he got a handsome raise from his college contract.
