Not only is the NFL conspicuously silent about OJ Simpson's passing, but his alma mater has similarly resisted calls to address the scandalized running back's death this week. Southern California has a copy of Simpson's Heisman Trophy at the campus' Heritage Hall, and his jersey remains retired by the Trojans in recognition of his two remarkable seasons in the USC backfield. What's more, his No. 32 is prominently displayed at every home football game on the banners that drape the peristyle steps of the venerable Coliseum. But when Simpson's death from prostate cancer at 76 in Las Vegas was announced Thursday, his school made no public acknowledgement of it.

Pete Carroll explains why his 14-year coaching career came to an end this week after late owner Paul Allen's sister and heir transferred him to a vague advisory position

www.dailymail.co.uk, January 13, 2024
Carroll said the main point of his end-of-season talk with Allen was to figure out what went wrong for Seattle, who lost out on the playoffs for the second time in three years despite a 9-8 record. 'And then, OK, what is the essence of the adjustments that are necessary?' In a talk that aired on Seattle Sports 710-AM on Friday, he appeared. I'm not sure we don't get a glimpse of what we don't get because I see it one way and I'm positive I've got a way to fix it and I'm not going to do it so it's perfect.' I've got real clear and specific questions, and they may not agree with it if that way. They may not agree that it's the right answer or that makes them feel happy. If you guys know, it's really difficult because they aren't footballers. They're not teachers, and getting to the real details of it is very difficult for other people.'

Three new faces appear on the list of the top ten highest-paid coaches in US sports, as well as a new No. Bill Belichick, Pete Carroll, and Nick Saban all left their positions in the last 24 hours. After an unprecedented run of success, Belichick's 24 years as head coach of the New England Patriots came to an end on Thursday morning. It came after the Seattle Seahawks switched from 72-year-old Carroll to an advisor role instead. Saban, then, announced that he was retiring from coaching, leaving Alabama after winning six national titles and weeks after losing in the Rose Bowl to the Michigan Wolverines.

End of an era! Following a string of seven Super Bowl victories, nine national championships, and more than 900 total victories throughout football and college, Bill Belichick, Nick Saban, and Pete Carroll all fought together

www.dailymail.co.uk, January 11, 2024
It's the end of an era for NFL and college football coaches, many of whom have spent the better part of this millennium chasing Bill Belichick, Pete Caroll, and Nick Saban. The three sideline legends, associates, rivals, collaborators, and many of Croatian immigrants' descendants came to an end this week. Saban is retiring from Alabama and Carroll is taking on an advisory role with the Seattle Seahawks, while Belichick could continue coaching after mutually agreeing not to part ways with the New England Patriots. This week, however, a big change in the sport has occurred. The trio has won nine Super Bowls, nine national championships, and 912 games, not including the ones that Carroll was forced to leave at USC after his players were found to have received improper gifts. Saban and Carroll coached seven Heisman winners, including USC's Reggie Bush, who was eventually required to forfeit his award due to the aforementioned improper gifts. In the meantime, Belichick was the Patriots coach for each of Tom Brady's three NFL MVP awards.

Pete Carroll's 14-year tenure as Seattle's head coach is over, with the long-serving boss expected to take a back seat and shift into a consultant role. Carroll, the Seahawks' founder who took over the Seahawks in 2010, has enjoyed a legendary run in Seattle, leading the franchise to its first-ever Super Bowl in 2013.
