Pete Carroll Guy Quotations

He's done it with a style. He's taken on all comers, ... He's done all of the things you would hope a guy would do with a program. I think it's a great marriage.

We took a shot at a couple guys, the best guy in the state of Alabama, the best guy in the state of Florida, and we didn't hit it. One of those guys would have been great.

John David is ready, he's as ready as a guy could be in a backup situation. I feel very fortunate we've had him in the wings.

That was a phenomenal night by one guy. I don't want to take anything away from their football team but that guy is an extraordinary player.

Is it like the Wizard of Oz? A guy behind the curtain with a megaphone or something?

There's no question he stepped out of character so we have to help him. We went through it the way that we do it. We considered all the circumstances and how remorseful the guy was.

This is the best guy we've ever played.

This is not the same football team, this is not the same offense, ... The players are the same, but they are performing at a higher level because of the guy who is running the thing.

That really helps us because we come up with a really fast, big, strong, good playmaking guy who can play in a spot where we've been really thin.

It was a risky throw. But our best guy was throwing it to our best catcher. It was the right thing to do.

I wanted to find out if we went to the NFL and really took care of guys, really cared about each and every individual, what would happen?

Every year, something happens, and it turns me in a direction about where I need to go and what I need to do to give these guys direction.

I'm telling you what I'm telling you. I will go wherever I have to go, listen to whoever I have to listen to. Whether it's a player or it's a coach. Whether it's a corporate leader, a political leader or it's the guy sitting on the corner. It doesn't matter to me; I'm on, I'll go wherever.

One of my favorite guys was Ronnie Lott. I had and have such tremendous respect for him that when I finally got a chance to coach him, I couldn't get enough of uncovering and understanding what made him tick and what made him be who he was.
