Matt Leinart says he would not be surprised if Pete Carroll eventually made his way back to the NFL and it could be with the Cardinals. "I would never rule out that possibility in the future," Leinart said. "I'm not one to say next year or the year after or whatever, but he's a competitive guy and he wants to win. "What he has at SC is something special, though. He could go down as one of the greatest college coaches ever. I think he already is. We'll see what happens." The Cardinals will be interested in Carroll, should they fire Dennis Green and sources say that the job intrigues the USC coach.
