I am wondering if anyone else heard this, or did I misinterpret.

During the Rose Bowl, Brent Musberger was praising Pete Carroll's success at USC and I believe he said something along the lines of how Robert Kraft up in New England let Carroll go a little too soon.

Is this accurate?(I was surprised at the comment, perhaps I misinterpreted it.)

Yes, Carroll has found great success, but Kraft hired Belichick and then we won 3 Super Bowl's to date.

Perhaps I am over-reacting, but I was shocked.

Please respond if you heard this also, or you can clarify for me.

imagine is robert edwards never got injured and pete carroll had a little more success and didn't get fired until a year or two later. we wouldn't ahve 3 superbowls and maybe no tom brady.

Musberger was saying a lot of stupid things during the Rose Bowl.

I remember the downfall of Brent. There was a Thanksgiving Special, at home with Brent Musberger. Like anyone really cared. Same goes for today.

HEY BRO! WHAT UP?

Yes, he did say that about Carroll. I could agree with him if the Pats weren't as successful without him but how can Musberger discount the success Belicheck has had with the Pats. Carroll regressed every year with a lot of talent and Belicheck had to rebuild that team from the ground up and won 3 superbowls. I thought Musberger's comments were a little weird as well.

Bob Costas, although he doesn't seem to be showing signs of dementia yet.

18 year olds love the rah-rah approach. Let's sign the Top 20 recruits each year. Show em the trophies,weather,girls,etc. In the NFL you have to take an analytical approach as to a players worth. You can't just bring in the top guys. There is a salary cap. It rules the league. We had some pretty bad contracts during those years and I'm sure Carroll told the front office how great the player was. We need to keep them. I remember an article by Bob Ryan about Petey when he got canned. Positive; Energetic,youthful,positive out going guy. Wish my daughter would marry someone like him. However,
I just don't want him coaching my professional football team. Gets too buddy/buddy with the players. NFL players not motivated by most of the bs that works on kids.

He or one of the members of his team made an equally ridiculous statement about Junior Seau that really illustrates what they know about the NFL. It went something like this:

"He wears number 55, and as you know that's a jersey with a storied tradition at USC. Way back in the day Junior Seau wore that number, and he is, or was, I think, one of, if not the best, college linebackers of all time."

That part everyone can agree with. This next part wasn't cute or sarcastic, rather it seemed to trickle out as a way to finish the thought:

"And he was a pretty good linebacker in the NFL as well."

Just so we're clear, it wasn't one of those Phil Simms-ish "and the Patriots have a pretty good quarterback too, Greg" types of comments, it was a I-think-the-capital-of-Canada-is-Toronto kind of comment.

I don't think it too far-fetched to suggest that neither Brent Musberger nor anyone else in that booth were - or are - aware that the New England Patriots have won several Super Bowls recently without Pete Carroll.
