It was really a unique experience. I had been at the University of Pacific for my first three years coaching. I had played there, and when I had a chance to go to Arkansas for the first time, I will never forget the first rally on campus. It was crazy, and the energy was awesome, and the band was playing and the students went nuts. It was the first sense of what big-time college football was like, to be on the inside of it. That year at Arkansas was the year that really energized me about being a college coach and liking it and coaching on the big level. I got captured by it.
More Quotes from Pete Carroll:
Carroll confirmed Wednesday what long had been suspected. He has received a contract extension from USC that goes well beyond next season, which would have been the final year under the five-year, 7million contract he received when hired in December 2000. A long-term contract, however, won't stop Carroll from being mentioned as a candidate for open coaching jobs in the NFL. Still, he held firm to his position that a return to the league where he spent 17 years and always answered to someone else is not what he wants. I've got so much control and call every shot, ... I haven't changed my outlook on that at all. You know, to do something like I like to do it, you've got to do it over a long period of time. That's why this is a cherished moment for me in my coaching career. I'm right in the middle of something really special, and I can see it, it's very clear.Pete Carroll
But if you look at the difference between the past couple years and this year, we've kind of gone off the charts in all numbers.

There's not much of a governing body here. It's gamesmanship. This is competition for everybody.

We will have to wait and see when he gets to practice today. There is no damage at all to his knee, it is sore from getting banged on it, but he is going to practice today. We will ease him through the week until he is feeling 100. He might feel 100 today. He is real encouraged, and I am not really concerned about it.

Obviously, the focus goes to Sanchez. He gets a great opportunity to be in charge, run the whole thing. We'll just try to maximize that, get Mike McDonald some work and wait for J.D. to get better.

We don't have that number (of touches) in mind. One of the guys you could compare him to his Marshall Faulk, in that offense of the Rams. We'd be lucky if he could be like that.
