SEATTLE (AP)—Pete Carroll reportedly agreed to leave Southern California after nine years to return to the NFL and coach the Seattle Seahawks.

ESPN cited multiple league sources Saturday, saying Carroll reached an agreement with a team that went 5-11 and fired coach Jim Mora on Friday after one season. The Los Angeles Times reported Carroll also will be team president.

The Seahawks also are speaking with Minnesota defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier. Teams must interview minority candidates for head coaching jobs.

Carroll’s agent, Gary Uberstine, did not return calls and e-mails from The Associated Press. The Seahawks are not commenting and chief executive Tod Leiweke did not return repeated messages Saturday.

Carroll was 6-10 in 1994 with the New York Jets and then 27-21 while twice reaching the playoffs from 1997-99 with the New England Patriots. He restored a dynasty at USC beginning in 2001.

that's crazy! the most awesome college coach, coming back to the pros.

must be in it for money, because he's going to lose.

i can't believe this; i loved the program he was running; but i wouldn't be surprised if it was a bad recruiting year & he didn't think he was going to win.

Pete = god. ;D 8)

Hopefully he can turn shit around, but I have to say last season wasn't really Mora's fault minus a few bad calls.
