ck is right. carroll is and always has been an nfl guy, and certainly much more than saban ever was.
i'm not as opposed to carroll as others.
too many people on here scream and holler about getting an nfl assistant (which both carroll and saban were, btw) like they're some kind of automatic slam dunk.
for every mangini and payton there's norv turner and dave wannstadt and ray rhodes and chan gailey and jim haslett and gregg williams and mike martz and dom capers and mike sherman and mike mularkey and dave mcginnis and dick lebeau. . .
the list goes on.
I have no assumptions that an assistant would be a slam dunk, but I think its safer than a college guy, whom i am going to keep calling Pete. There is good and bad around every turn, this is no different. But I think our best shot at revitalization lies in the coordinator path.
