Pete Carroll Rips Al Davis
2nd October, 2008 - 1:39 pm
Orange County Register - USC coach Pete Carroll was sharply critical of Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis, who on Tuesday fired former Carroll aide Lane Kiffin, accused him of lying and refused to pay him the remainder of his salary.

"I couldn't really be more disappointed for the game of football. I thought today was really a dark moment," Carroll said. "To go to that level ... hurts football, the NFL and coaching. It wasn't necessary at all.

"The owner gets to do what he wants. He made his choice, and there's nothing wrong with that. I don't fault anything there. But just the manner of all the finger pointing and the name calling. It was not informed, and it seemed out of touch. I thought it was unfortunate that it came down like that." [READ]
