Pete Carroll Talk Quotations

We get down to the end of the season and we've got a couple of games left and we're fortunately in that position, then that's a whole different thing, and we'll deal with it when the time comes. But right now it's not something that our guys talk about. It's not something topical on our football team because it means nothing.

We righted it and got it going. We're thrilled that this is what our opportunity is. I know there's a lot of talk about pressure, but that's not what this feels like. It feels like an opportunity. It's been fun.

We tell recruits we're going to a nice, quiet, homey place. We're going to talk about your future and stuff like that. The next thing they know, John's unbuttoning his shirt and dancing in front of everybody.

Before I talk to a coach, I usually talk to the athlete's guidance counselor to make sure he or she is qualified to attend Swarthmore.

They talk like they ain't been here before.

I had a chance to talk to Coach Wooden and asked him about the question of repeating,

It's probably hard for you to imagine, but we took this thing in stride, step by step as we went through. We didn't talk about national championship very much, the players probably did some.

I have to talk to him, make sure he's right for that.

It's an introduction, and we'll talk about how important it is to play there.

All of those questions are ones that are directed at you because you have something you're shooting for. For us to be in a position where any of those arguments even matter, we have a lot of games to win. It's not an issue right now. If we get down to the very end and we're fortunate enough to be in position, then we'll deal with it. Right now, it's not something we talk about.
