Legendary coach Pete Carroll, known for his successful stints with the USC Trojans and the Seattle Seahawks, is set to make a return to his alma mater in a new capacity. After retiring from coaching, Carroll has revealed his plans to teach a class at the University of Southern California in Spring 2025.

In an interview with KRJ 93.3 FM in Seattle, Carroll expressed his excitement about this new endeavor. While he did not disclose the specific subject matter of his class, he hinted that the details of this partnership would be formally announced soon.

Carroll, who held a remarkable 97-19 (62-14 Pac-12) record during his nine seasons as head coach of the Trojans from 2001 to 2009, remains a highly regarded figure at USC. Despite leaving the program to coach the Seahawks in 2010, his legacy of excellence still serves as a benchmark for the team.

USC recognized Carroll's remarkable contributions by bestowing him with an honorary degree in 2015 and inducting him into its Hall of Fame. Even in retirement, Carroll's connection to the world of football remains strong, as he continues to serve as an advisor to the Seahawks, where he achieved the ultimate success by winning Super Bowl XLVIII.

While Carroll is making his return to USC, he has not completely distanced himself from the game. In fact, he was recently spotted attending a Washington spring practice in support of his son, Brennan, who serves as the offensive coordinator for the Huskies.

Split loyalties aside, Carroll's decision to teach at USC represents a significant milestone in his post-coaching career. As the university prepares to welcome back its national championship-winning legend, the anticipation for what Carroll will bring to the classroom is palpable.

Both the USC community and football enthusiasts eagerly await the start of Carroll's class in the upcoming spring semester. With his wealth of experience and unwavering passion for the game, there is no doubt that Carroll's return to USC will be a resounding success, leaving a lasting impact on students fortunate enough to learn from a true icon of the sport.
