"HE'S LIKE A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN"
Dennis Dodd's piece on Pat Ruel, the USC offensive line coach he dubs the best o-line coach in the country, includes a quote that validates J.R. Moehringer's claim that "It is impossible to write about Pete Carroll without sounding at least a little gay."
"Pete's like a beautiful woman," Ruel said after taking the job. "The closer you get, you better look out. He is very charismatic. He can smile and make you feel like a million dollars."
Ruel just sits there sometimes, waiting for the flowers, or the touch of the hand, or maybe even just a hint of his peppery, jasmine-tinged musk to float by...and the white knight always delivers, doesn't he? Yes, yes he does. A girl can be so lucky sometimes, you know. [/cue Gray's Anatomy music]

Just like a beautiful woman: Pete Carroll

It’s a good thing when neanderthals get in touch with their feminine side.

Pete Carroll is like the crazy, hot girl (or guy, for you ladies and you of differing sexual orientation) we have all dated at one time.
You know there is something inherently dirty and devious about them but you continue to fall into their evil clutch again and again.

Richt is hotter…but in a chaste, neo Southern Victorian kind of way…

Iowa’s defensive coordinator is like a beautiful woman in that he’s diabetic and has nine toes.

So Pete Carroll is the stripper I couldn’t stop handing ones to last night?

It has been proven by a scientific study.

Not that I have any paticular experience with this phenomena…

Tommy Bowden thinks Pete Carroll looks good jacked in tight pants.

I want to know what his take was on The Orgeron.
BTW, Danny Ford was the best OL coach ever. Period.

When I was having my recent fun up at USC Pat Ruel was the coach who hung around and socialized with the guys the most. It seemed like he was around at most of the meals and he even went down to Papadakis taverna. He just came across as a friendly, cool guy. But he could turn on the intensity too. I screwed up my footwork on an OL drill and saw that other side of him. I was pretty sure given the circumstances that he wasn’t going to actually take a swing at me, but he got me rattled.
I’d say McNair was the coach I bonded with the most but Ruel would get the overall “Mr Congeniality” award for the USC staff
And Dodd should pick Ken Norton Jr. as the best linebacker coach because he is one bad muthafucka. Sure guys like Maualuga, Rivers and Cushing come into the program with talent, but he turns them into what they become.

OC Phil,
Why don’t we just give the entire USC coaching staff all the top awards?
Jim Harbaugh would probably have to get some kind of award then, too.

Poe @ 15.
Not a bad idea, except for the Harbaugh thing.
I’m not sure that Dodd’s column really counts as a major award and the tOSU or Penn State linebacker coaches would be equally worthy as Norton based on the guys they have turned out in recent years. I’m certainly biased by seeing Norton in action.
