Annese laughs when he plays the message, which he has kept on the answering machine in the Muskegon High School football office.
"Hey Tony, this is Pete," the message goes, sounding like an old friend. "I'll be around today. Give me a call back."
How long until Pete uses the "#1 guy" bit? My guess is he already has. Carroll is just an arrogant son of a gun. Instead of trying to build an actual relationship with the coach and player he just waltzes in there like he's been best friends with him forever, almost like a used car salesman or something. I'm calling a spade and spade and Caroll is just a big fake phony. Don't want RoJo at ND and OSU either because obviously they are U-M's two biggest rivals and it always stings to lose "the" in-state player to your rival. I'll root for him wherever he decides to go though because he's a good kid just trying to make it and he's also one heck of a football player.
edit: no cursing in the recruiting forum regardless of how minor

Fact of the matter is, Pete Carrol is the best recruiter and gametime coach in the country. Whatever he is doing is working. In fact, it's working to the tune of a coach that's going to be the HoF with a few more years of what he's going to be doing. You're just drinking a bigole glass of Haterade.
He's getting kids to like him, and that's his job. Why should he be punished and hated on for doing it extremely well?
