PETE CARROLL: THAT TROPHY BELONGS IN A MUSEUM

by Orson on Jul 28, 2008 11:13 AM EDT

Last week on College Football Live--which if you're not watching just to get your righteous blog anger on, you should at least be watching on the Brent Musberger Unfrozen 1973 Male Inappropriate Comment Watch beat--Pete Carroll was put on their "Rapid Fire" segment, which Pete aced. Why did he ace Rapid Fire? Because if it's a gum spitting contest for accuracy, the Humanitarian's gonna put it right on the line, hombre, and if it's a backyard basketball game, he's gonna put a triple-double up on you, and if it's a contest to see who can make the tastiest braunschweiger out of local homeless people...well, rest assured Pete's gonna outdo you in the art of serving man in tasty, well-spiced tubules, sir.

Carroll was asked what he would be if he wasn't a football coach. The answer?

Carroll: I'd be an archaeologist.

He's probably not thinking about the "oh god, did I just spend eight years of my life to dig holes and lay down twine grids?" school of archaeology. Carroll is instead assuming the Indiana Jones style of archaeology, where you spend all day gallivanting through doom-filled ruins pulling shiny things out of booby-trapped spaces only to find your competitor has beat you to it or is waiting for you outside with an army of grumpy pygmies, which is okay because after the thrilling escape you get to bang hot chicks and shoot the natives when they get uppity.

Actually, we think we know exactly what this looks like in Pete's head, down to the face of the competitor.

"You see, Dr. Carroll, again there is nothing you can find that I cannot take from you!"

If only Jim Harbaugh were in there somewhere too…

Not trying to tell LSUfreek how to do his biz, but the face of Weis onthat rolling stone would have been a nice touch. OK, I am.

I was thinking the same thing…but
“Petrinos…..why did it have to be Petrinos…..”

Better yet, have the scene where he shoots the Arab Swordsman, and that swordman is Jim Harbaugh

Shouldn’t Miles have a white hat?

Pete Carroll always has time for love

I often imagine being a doctor, a la Dick Van Dyke…or Scott Baio.

Jim Harbaugh would not dare step into those ruins. Where would he wash his hands?

Who plays the Alfred Molina character, who leaves the Humanitarian high and dry?

That first image looks like Jim Zook. Odd facial expression.

But who would you cast as Carroll’s father in Last Crusade?

+1000 to LSUfreek for the genius that is that clip.

Good call Orson for noticing that gem of a tidbit. Come to think of it, Pete Carroll and Harrison Ford have very similar body types and ages. They should switch jobs for a day and see if anyone notices.

What they fail to mention in the video is that Bellock (Miles) gets the prize at the beginning of the movie but Indy (Petey) later gets the girl and prize while Bellock explodes after opening the ark of the covenant (a match against USC). There has to be a subliminal message here…….

I was thinking either Beverly Hill gynecologist or inner city high school teacher.

#13,

Wouldn’t it have to be John Robinson? But only because John McKay is no longer with us, of course.

Rhyno: Not Bruins, Cardinal would be fitting to play the “snakes” role. The humanitarian has lost twice as many home games to Stanford as he has to the rest of the NCAA combined. Plus a John Elway led Stanford team cost USC the MNC back in 1979.
