Around SBN: Which Players Will Join The 3,000-Hit Club?

Does this sound familiar?

I found this quote at Bruin Nation, where the poster was ragging on USC's Pete Carroll. And, other than Saturday's embarrassment to Stanford, you can't really argue with his Trojan success. But this quote reminded me an awful lot of current UofL coach Steve Kragthorpe:

'Once upon a time, back when I was still living in Boston, Pete Carroll did a terrible job coaching the New England Patriots. Eventually, they fired him. But not before I gave him the nickname "Coach Fredo" on my old Web site.
Deep down, I always felt bad about it. Pete seemed like a good guy. Of course, that was the problem -- there wasn't anything coach-like about him. His teams consistently screwed up and did dumb things. His players consistently walked all over him and found trouble off the field. Even in his press conferences, beat writers found ways to undermine him and make him look bad. Poor Pete carried himself like a giddy substitute teacher for an inner-city high school, the high-energy dude who strolls in hoping to change everyone for the better and ends up getting duct-taped to his desk and covered with gobs of whiteout. That was Pete Carroll in New England.'

The quote is from ESPN's Bill Simmons(purportedly), just thought I'd share it and see if anyone found a similarity between Carroll from his NFL day and Kragthorpe now. What does this mean? Don't know, but it's certainly curious. Hmmm ...
