With over 50 years of coaching expertise, Carroll first gained it at the collegiate level, where he guided the USC Trojans to two national titles.
However, it appears that a few famous people have “issues” with Carroll’s exhibition. The footage of Carroll filling in at quarterback did not appear to impress Snoop Dogg, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, or actor Will Ferrell. The commissioner and famous people made some scathing remarks regarding the coach who now serves as the interim quarterback.

Commissioner Goodell talked about the “abuse” Carroll was putting on the Seattle secondary, and how the coach was “shredding them every day with your passes.” Ferrell admonished Carroll for torching players who are “fighting for their livelihood,” and Snoop Dogg even told Carroll to knock it off, or he was going to come down to Seahawks practices and “show up, and show out.”
“Pete Carroll… the nerve of you to treat your players with such disrespect,” Snoop Dogg quipped.

“What are you doing? These are young men out there! They are fighting for their livelihoods,” Ferrell commented.
When the games kick off, the Seahawks will continue to let Geno Smith handle the quarterback duties.
