Pete Carroll, Asshole Coach of the Year

With seven minutes left and already leading in dominating fashion, 34-10, USC head coach Pete Carroll play-called a fake punt from the ND 39 on 4th and 3. The resulting pass interference call was followed by Matt Leinart's 5th TD pass of the game on the next play for the final tally of 41-10.

When asked, ND head coach Tyrone Willingham--who ran a fake punt in a similar situation last year against Stanford--said he didn't have a problem with the fake. But we have all learned in the past 2+ years that Ty lives in another realm of reality very far removed from this world.

Meanwhile, it should be pointed out that Pete Carroll has a long history of being a total asshole. He was convincingly despised by Patriot Nation during his stay as New England's head coach, and is rapidly making strides towards gaining the same notoriety in the college ranks. Perhaps some consolation can be gained in knowing that what comes around goes around. Sadly, ND fans could be waiting on the next 100 years for what goes around again.
