Rap legend Snoop Dogg, actor Will Ferrell and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell all weighed in, expressing their concern for the way Carroll is lighting up his defense.
“Pete Carroll, the nerve of you to treat your players with such abuse,” said Snoop Dogg, who goes back decades with Carroll to the coach’s days at USC. “You should be sanctioned, dog.”
Goodell, meanwhile, told Carroll, “I got a video earlier today from one of your practices that has me very concerned. I keep hearing about the abuse you’re putting on your defensive secondary, shredding them every day with your passes and your running.”
Ferrell, who like Snoop goes back with Carroll to his days in Los Angeles, and who also has been known to crash a team meeting on zoom, admonished Carroll, saying, “What are you doing? These are young men out there, their fighting for their livelihoods, for the jobs.”
The video ends with Carroll offering no apology, saying, “Hey, you’re either competing or you’re not.”
