Fans are way happy that Carroll was hired and not Liam Coen
The fans have spoken: Pete Carroll all day long.
Recently, The Athletic reported that the Las Vegas Raiders wanted to hire Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Liam Coen before they turned to Pete Carroll as the hire in January.
Coen was hired as the head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars a day before Carroll replaced the fired Antonio Pierce.
After that story came out, we asked our community members if they would rather Coen was hired than Carroll.
It was a a blowout. Carroll won in a landslide. In a poll with more than 500 votes cast, 93 percent of the voters said hiring Carroll was the best outcome, while just a total of 40 voters thought hiring Coen would have been the right outcome.
I totally get this outcome and I expected Carroll to be the easy winner.
Carroll is entering his 28th season as a head coach at either the NFL or college level. He is a proven winner and is a great leader and has the energy level around the team sky high, so it’s clear the fan base is happily moving forward with Carroll.
