Charlie Weis and Pete Carroll
Even though I got a miracle ticket last year, I still hate USC. I hate them more than Michigan or Ohio State or anybody else. No doubt. And if there is any doubt, why don’t we do a coach comparison (and let it stand as a school comparison). Here you go (view in order) first take a look at petecarroll.com (sound ON). Then take a look at charlieweis.com. No further comments, your honor.

Patrick • 11/24/06 • 1:22 PM:Right: I mean “HUMANITARIAN” and Pete’s standing in front of a microphone in front of a Lexus backdrop? What’s he dedicating his time and effort to? Or raising money for? (Since nowadays, “humanitarian” is synonymous with “fundraiser.”) Come listen to Pete Carroll at the annual Lexus-owners fundraiser! Help all those Lexus-owning people get bigger houses!
In a small defence of Pete, on the other hand, I imagine most coaches who might have their own website are going to have some kind of pep-rally hype machine. It makes sense. And even though I do think Charlie Weis is a class act, a really good person, it’s the fact that his own daughter has special needs that gives him his primary incentive to donate his time and effort to relieving that burden.
I just read an article somewhere, I forget where, about how ND and USC have nothing but respect for each other. It’s a classy rivalry. I dunno about that, Dave, but one sure thing is that the game pretty much always matters.
