Former Seahawks coach Pete Carroll has just dropped a bombshell revelation this week, announcing that he’s gearing up to teach a class at USC this coming spring. That’s right, the man who guided the Seahawks from 2010 to 2023 is returning to the Trojan family, and we couldn’t be more excited!
Carroll’s Storied Legacy at USC
Pete Carroll, now 72, carved out a legacy that few coaches can match. During his tenure at Southern California from 2001 to 2009, Carroll led the Trojans to a phenomenal pair of BCS National Championships and compiled an enviable 97-19 record.

“I’d love to have him,” Riley exclaimed, his voice full of excitement. “He’s great. Coach has been great to me. We’ve had a chance to catch up pretty often, check in with each other. He’s been a great resource and a great person to be able to pick his brain. He’s been very good to me.”
Riley isn’t stopping there. “I’m excited he’s going to be here more, and we’d be crazy not to take advantage of having him around. Whether it’s an official role or not, he’s made it very clear that we’ve got a good open line of communication. It’s one that I appreciate and respect very much and will always never hesitate to pick up the phone and call him and reach out to him because, obviously, of how successful he was as a coach. He’s got a great knowledge of this place. I’ve been appreciative of his help and his friendship and will be glad to have him around a lot more.”
Future Prospects for Carroll
