The idea that Geno Smith must be capable of leading Seattle to a Super Bowl to be worth a $30 million salary is silly. There's value in having an average starting QB in the NFL.
The biggest reason Pete Carroll does not get the credit he's due -- even after what just happened over the past 12 months -- is that he doesn't behave like people think a football coach should.
There's just one problem with the three standard explanations for why Pete Carroll has never been named the NFL's Coach of the Year: None of the are actually true.
I've got more than just some issues with contemporary football broadcasts. I've got some solutions to replay reviews, NFL spin doctoring and "Rocky" references. Let's go!

I wish nothing but the best for the Washington WR, which is one of the reasons it has been so fun to cheer for him and why I loved getting a chance to thank him.
My favorite NFL reporter passed along word that "multiple" coaches and executives are unhappy with the officiating mistakes in Seattle's regular-season finale. The Dang Apostrophe investigates:

The 49ers have won 10 straight games, won in Seattle less than a month ago and yet I see a pretty clear path of how the Seahawks could win Saturday's game.
A prime-time gift from Detroit put a playoff bow on a season which has showcased why Pete Carroll is a great coach.
Skip Bayless isn't the only person who refuses to see the humanity of the athletes he covers, but he is one of the most prominent and a column from 2001 shows how little the man has changed.
There are people bemoaning Seattle's victory over the Jets because it cost the Seahawks draft position. These are fine and well-meaning people who are -- sadly -- lost and deluded.
