LOS ANGELES - For a Los Angeles Rams team beginning its search for a new head coach, this is a time to dream.
Unless it involves Pete Carroll, apparently.
The Seattle Seahawks' coach, a California native who famously resurrected the USC program, said on Tuesday's conference call that he had "no comment" to reports that the Rams would love to hire him to replace Jeff Fisher, who was fired on Monday. Asked if he would like to rule the possibility out entirely, Carroll laughed and said, "Yes."
Carroll is 65, in the first year of an extension that runs through 2019 and in an envied spot as the coach of a team that recently made back-to-back trips to the Super Bowl.
