Former USC football coach Pete Carroll, is now the head coach of the Seattle Seahawks and has been making a buzz around the twitter world. Since the draft finally went underway yesterday, Pete Carroll decided to make it interesting by posting up favorite songs of his on Twitter possibly hinting who he would pick in the draft. For instance, he Tweeted the song California love by Tupac, possibly hinting that he would pick someone that is from that area or went to a California school. Another example was him putting a Taylor Swift song up, hinting he would pick Taylor Mays. The final song he put up was jump around by house of pain, which could of meant picking up Jimmy Clausen since house of pain is an irish band and Jimmy Clausen played for Notre Dame.
It also could mean that he is actually going to "jump a round" in the draft. None of these were true
and he was only having fun with it. The Twitter world was going insane because of what he was trying to hint. Everybody was trying to figure out what he was going to do with his picks, I liked how he joked around with it though because everyone is so into Twitter and lives and dies by it.
People want to always have an inside scoop on what a coach will pick in the draft, but Pete Carroll is too smart of a coach to do something dumb like that, he simply likes to have fun, always has, even when he was at USC.
I see more and more coaches getting involved with Twitter tho and I think thats pretty cool since most of the are against it.
Good for you Pete! Keep the fans entertained and guessing with your Tweets!
