The Pete Carroll Era Begins For The 'Hawks

Seattle Seahawks fans have gotten to love their coaches. New coach Pete Carroll may make that difficult if not impossible. After he left his successful tenure as head coach at USC, the Trojans were handed one of the sternest penalties ever given to a college team. This may be very much in evidence this year as the 'Hawks are go through what looks to be a rebuilding season. Even if the 'Hawks begin winning in a few seasons, fans may wonder if there are some "smoke and mirrors" behind this man whose credibility has come under challenge. Suffice it to say, for the first time in the team's history, the head coach does not start out with a clean slate. The Seahawks kick-off the 2010 season at 1:00, playing the San Francisco 49ers.
