San Francisco 49ers vs Seattle Seahawks
4:15 PM ET, September 12, 2010
Qwest Field, Seattle, WA
Back on an NFL sideline for the first time in 11 years, Pete Carroll has the challenging task of trying to revive the Seattle Seahawks.
Mike Singletary appears to have done that in San Francisco and now hopes to guide the 49ers to their first playoff appearance in eight seasons.
Both striving for improvement, the NFC West foes open the regular season Sunday afternoon in Seattle.
After winning seven Pac-10 titles and two national championships at Southern California from 2000-09, Carroll expects this stint as an NFL head coach to go better than his first two. He was fired after a 6-10 season with the Jets in 1994 before going 27-21 with New England from 1997-99.
"People say, 'Gosh, why would you do that when you win all the time in college football, and here, you're going into the meat grinder of the NFL?' I'm ready. I couldn't be more prepared for it. I couldn't be more excited about it," Carroll said.
