Pete Carroll 'fired up' about USC hiring Clay Helton

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll took to Twitter and commended USC, his former employer, for changing Clay Helton’s title from interim to permanent.

In fact, Carroll has reached peak “fired up” because of it.

Congrats to @USCCoachHelton! An awesome head coach for the Trojans! Couldn't be more fired up! Good luck this weekend! #FightOn

So that’s nice.

Perhaps he feels this way because the rumors of Philadelphia Eagles coach Chip Kelly leaving the NFL and taking over at Carroll’s former home are now officially squashed.
