Pete Carroll On The Goal Line Pass Playcall: ‘I Don’t Think Everyone’s On The Same Page With That Sequence’

This morning, Matt Lauer sat down with Seahawks Pete Carroll in an exclusive interview on the Today show. The topic, of course, was the Super Bowl’s game-winning play, a play many have called the worst in sports history — the pass from the one-yard line that was intercepted by the Patriots’ Malcolm Butler.

Carroll admitted that not everyone on the team agreed with the call. “I don’t think everyone’s on the same page with that sequence,” he said. Uh, you think Pete.

In addition, Carroll created more confusion with these series of quotes.

“I made the call that comes out of the process…of the preparation and the practice. I think we’re going to do exactly the right thing or we won’t call the play. We won’t go with that concept, we won’t ask our guys to execute. So I never make a call thinking it’s going to go bad.”

That sounds an awful lot like, “Russell Wilson made a bad throw.”

Carroll continued:

These don’t go away. These occurrences, they don’t leave. These occurrences have stayed with me over the years…in a matter they fuel me.

And then, Carroll kinda devolved into some wacky 9/11 conspiracy thing.

Lauer: “You said on the radio, we’re going to make this right. How do you make it right?”
Carroll: “By getting to the truth.”

We’re talking about football, right?
