Pete Carroll may, possibly, not be The Antichrist

This Boston Globe article reports that both Patriots ownership and former players think highly of Carroll, and believe he has a good chance to win in Seattle.

• “I think Seattle is very lucky to have gotten him at this point,’’ Kraft said.  “He’ll be a lot of fun to be around, he’s had great experience, he’s a real good leader, and he’s been toughened up. I’m glad they’re in the NFC.’’
  
• “I think he had time at ’SC to evolve, and learn more about coaching, game-planning, dealing with different personalities and personas, and do it on a really big stage,’’ said McGinest. “He’s evolved. I think he’ll win [in Seattle]. I’ve always thought he was a really good coach.’’

And, apparently the Seahawks already run the USC defense.

Man, when I sober up I'm going to regret writing this.
