Matt Hasselbeck gives Pete Carroll props for coaching quarterbacks well
Most defensive coaches in the business aren’t known for getting great QB play, whether it’s not finding the right starter or not putting him in a position to succeed. Seahawks coach Pete Carroll is one of the (extremely) rare exceptions to the rule.
Even as far back as USC, Carroll has gotten quality QB play out of his starters at different levels and with several different characters, including Mark Sanchez, Carson Palmer, Russell Wilson and now the latest success in Geno Smith. It’s also telling that those same quarterbacks haven’t done nearly as well in other places when Carroll hasn’t been their head coach.
One guy who would know is Matt Hasselbeck, who was on Lofa Tatupu’s podcast yesterday The subject came up and he gave Carroll the credit he deserved. Watch.
"Quarterbacks when they leave Pete Carroll don't do nearly as well usually as they did when they were with him." @Hasselbeck
