The oldest coach in the NFL, Pete Carroll, does not believe in depending on one player for his team and the game's needs. Instead, he gives the same role to multiple guys - so that they give their level best when they get a chance to compete.
Depending on one NFL player for most parts of the game puts them under a lot of pressure, but Pete Carroll believes in giving a different kind of pressure to his rookies. Carroll says he's been doing that for the longest time now(considering he's only 73 years old now).
Anyway, the kind of pressure is - 'Everybody's watching you.' And when an NFL coach instills this kind of pressure into a rookie's head, the rookie feels like he's at the NFL Combine every single day and gives his level best, no matter what!

Head coach Pete Carroll calls
veteran running back
Raheem Mostert
a nightmare for
Las Vegas Raiders
The former Seattle Seahawks head coach, Pete Carroll, says he loves having Raheem Mostert and Ashton Jeanty for the running back's role.
On June 12, Carroll shared with Grant Gordon, Digital Content Editor at NFL, 'I think I love having multiple guys play. I'm not relying on one guy. Thunder and Lightning back in the day, whatever it takes to get it done. We're going to let the guys play for their playtime. Raheem(Mostert), I love having him. He's an experienced guy. He's been a great speedster for years. We've defended him for years, and he's been a nightmare for us.

The oldest NFL coach Pete Carroll finds rookie running back Ashton Jeanty to be every bit he had hoped for
On June 13, Pete Carroll shared with Ryan McFadden of ESPN,
'Ashton(Jeanty) is every bit what we hoped he would look like. He caught the ball well, understood stuff, took everything seriously, and terrific effort throughout. We made a big deal of him (by saying) everyone's watching you. He's embraced the thought of it, and so - it's going to be exciting to see what happens.
This is what I've done with rookies for a long time. It just depends on how well you orchestrate what you ask them to do. And if they can find success - that helps our depth and helps us stay competitive.'

Unrealistic to expect victories without scoring goals: Kalyan Chaubey
Indian Football players (@IndianFootball via PTI Photo) New Delhi: The All India Football Federation (AIFF) is expected to start the hunt for a new coach once its technical committee and executive committee approve mutual termination of Manolo Marquez's contract at its meeting on June 29. Manolo, who took over as full-time coach only on June 1 after a dual role shared with FC Goa, has informed the federation that he does not want to continue with national team duties. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! According to sources, the contract can be terminated only if both parties agree. 'We have an executive committee meeting on June 29, where we will take a call (on Manolo's future),' AIFF president Kalyan Chaubey told reporters in the Capital on Friday. Yashasvi Jaiswal's Coach on England Prep, Opening Partner, & Playing Under Gill 'Manolo Marquez is one of the longest serving foreign coaches in Indian football. Over the years, he has managed multiple clubs and won trophies, including ISL trophy and Super Cup. Compared to others, his understanding of Indian football, including strengths, weakness of Indians, as well as opportunities and challenges within the Indian ecosystem, is better.' Under Manolo, India have won just once — against lowly Maldives at home — in eight matches but even more worryingly, failed to score in the last three matches. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No dark spots, 10 years younger! Just take this from Guardian URUHIME MOMOKO Learn More Undo This includes a home draw against Bangladesh and away defeats to Thailand and Hong Kong. Goalscoring has been a consistent problem and reflects in the mere seven goals that the team has scored in 15 matches since Jan 2024. India have also not won a competitive game since Nov 2023. Quiz: Who's that IPL player? 'It is unrealistic to expect wins without scoring goals. There has been a steady decline in goals being scored from 1.64 (in 2015) to 0.75 currently. While we appreciate Sunil Chhetri's efforts at 40, as a nation we also need to ensure there was supply of more forwards in a systematic manner. 'It's difficult for wa player who has played the supporting role in the club for 11 months, to shift to the No. 9 role (in international matches). We have not had positive strikers in the last 10 years,' said Chaubey. Only Chhetri, India's highest goalscorer, has been a constant feature in the starting lineups of the last four national team coaches: Bob Houghton, Stephen Constantine, Igor Stimac and Manolo Marquez. The AIFF is hoping it can solve the striking woes and overcome India's wretched run of form, with the inclusion of OCI players. Chaubey said his office has contacted 33 footballers from across the world, some of whom already have the Overseas Citizen of India card, while others are being assisted by the federation. 'Like all sports federations (in India), AIFF is committed to aligning with the laws of the land. Under FIFA's framework and regulations, we are also actively exploring the possibility of securing approval for the inclusion of OCI players in the national team,' said Chaubey.

Suruchi Phogat makes it a hat-trick of gold in women's 10m air pistol at the ISSF World Cup in Munich
Suruchi Phogat (PTI) Pune: At 19, Suruchi Phogat is busy writing history and rewriting it. The Haryana shooter added one more chapter to her career by winning the gold medal in women's 10m air pistol at the ISSF World Cup in Munich. On Friday, she made it a hat-trick of individual gold medals and took her senior international score to 5/5 — five medals in five tournaments. She has become the first Indian to achieve this feat. Suruchi made her international debut at the Buenos Aires World Cup in April. She then competed in Lima and now the ongoing Munich edition. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! In the three individual matches played so far, she has won gold thrice in 10m air pistol events. She also won a gold and a bronze in 10m air pistol mixed competition. In Munich, Suruchi qualified second after shooting a National Record equalling score of 588 (earlier shot by Manu Bhaker). In the final, when all her seven opponents shot below 10.1, Suruchi hit a 10.7 to set the tone for her win. Yashasvi Jaiswal's Coach on England Prep, Opening Partner, & Playing Under Gill She was leading till the 14th shot, but lost the first position for a few shots. She then bounced back in the 23rd and 24th shots to take gold with a margin of 0.2 point as she shot 241.9. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo The teenager pushed Paris Games silver medallist Camille Jedrejewski to silver (241.7) and Tokyo Games bronze medallist Ranxin Jiang to bronze (221.7). 'I am happy but not surprised by my win. I think this is what we train for, to win gold medals,' Suruchi said. When asked if there was any pressure on her after the first two successful editions of the World Cup, she said, 'Fortunately, I don't take pressure of winning medals at all. I have people around me who try to keep me away from the pressure. All I do is train and focus on each shot as that will help me improve. I don't think about the results,' she said. Quiz: Who's that IPL player? Former Commonwealth Games champion and now head coach of the pistol team, Samaresh Jung, feels it is the attitude that makes Suruchi such a force. 'She has been shooting fantastic. Her technique is good but what is unique about her shooting is her attitude. I have observed that anything below gold doesn't excite her. She thrives to win the top place on the podium and it is working very well for her. I am not sure how, but she needs to be protected from undue pressure and expectations from everybody around her,' Jung said. Meanwhile, Paris Games double medallist Manu couldn't qualify for the final after finishing 25th with 574. Palak was 36th with 570. In the men's 25m rapid fire pistol event, all three Indians failed to enter the 6-man final. Anish was the top shooter for India in the 18th spot (581).

'I don't have any remorse' – Ex-New York Knicks star gets brutally honest in his Tom Thibodeau dismissal assessment
Tom Thibodeau and Austin Rivers. Image via: Sarah Stier/GettyImages | Icon Sportswire/ Getty Images The New York Knicks' decision to part ways with head coach Tom Thibodeau shortly after a long-awaited Eastern Conference Finals run raised eyebrows around the NBA. But for former Knicks guard Austin Rivers, the move was anything but shocking, and certainly not worth mourning. In fact, Rivers used the opportunity to speak candidly about his troubled stint under Thibodeau, criticizing both the coach and the franchise's front office for what he called a mishandling of his time in New York. Austin Rivers slams Tom Thibodeau and the New York Knicks During a recent episode of Off Guard with Austin Rivers on The Ringer, the NBA veteran held nothing back while recalling his brief and bitter Knicks experience. 'I'm not really a Thibs guy. I played for him, it wasn't the best experience personally, didn't treat me well at all,' Rivers said, revealing how he was dismissed from day one. "First day of camp, this is a true story... [this is] my first time really talking to him since signing there. Thibodeau comes up to me and says, 'Hey man, excited for you to be here. I wanted Derrick [Rose], but you'll do great. You'll do great.' And he walked away." — NBA_NewYork (@NBA_NewYork) That blunt comment foreshadowed what was coming. 'I remember thinking to myself, 'Hmm. Not gonna be here long,'' Rivers admitted. Sure enough, the Knicks acquired Derrick Rose from the Pistons weeks later. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Switch to UnionBank Rewards Card UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Rivers was soon demoted and eventually traded. It was an exit, he says was anything but respectful. 'They brought me to a dark room, it was Leon [Rose], Worldwide Wes, and Thibs. They're all three sitting there in the dark, with like a little light, it's like an interrogation-type thing,' Rivers said. 'Until we find the right spot with you, you don't have to travel with the team anymore.' Frustrated and sidelined, Rivers had to plead for permission to travel just to maintain his training routine. 'My [emasculated] a*s had to call [Thibodeau] and ask him, 'Can I please travel with you guys?'' he added. The Knicks eventually shipped him to a rebuilding Thunder team that waived him shortly after. "They don't do business the right way sometimes," Rivers said flatly. 'So when you fire Thibs, I don't have any remorse.' Despite helping lead the Knicks to four playoff appearances and a surprise 2025 Eastern Conference Finals run, Thibodeau's departure has cast a shadow over the organization's next move, especially with their failed attempts to interview current head coaches elsewhere.
