Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll was named in a Wednesday night report regarding the Arkansas Razorbacks coaching search. According to the story, the Hogs had contacted the former USC coach, but found themselves turned down. Carroll did spend a year under Lou Holtz at Arkansas in 1977, for what it's worth, but makes far more money in the NFL than he would in Fayetteville.
Arkansas Coaching Rumors: No Pete Carroll Or Steve Mariucci, Of Course
Carroll, a noted prankster since way back, followed up on the rumor by tweeting the following:
I still love the Arkansas fight song... But Mooch is the man... Go Razorbacks!

That’s in reference to an earlier report that Steve Mariucci was floating his name for the job. Seems like Carroll having himself a good time, but just in case we’d like to see a newsman on the matter, here was Chris Mortensen:
RT @gdjjj73: Pete Carroll says Mott knows >> All I have heard isfalse. Period. No Carroll, No Gruden, No Mooch, etc. @Razorbacks
