USC's Carroll overlooked
Penn State's Joe Paterno is the 2005 Associated Press college football Coach of the Year. This season, he turned around a PSU program many assumed was dead, leading it to the Bowl Championship Series and a share of the Big Ten championship.
This news isn't very surprising, but I think USC's Pete Carroll has been shafted. In fact, he only got three votes in this year's contest. Because he has superstars and he wins, he's dismissed as "doing what he should be doing."
It's amazing that Carroll hasn't won a Coach of the Year award, despite two straight national championship seasons, a great shot at a third, and 34 straight wins.
