Maybe new UCLA hire Rick Neuheisel is scaring him off. That, or the potential of the NCAA doing some snooping to see if Mr. Kim Kardashian's issues were real before he bolted to the New Orleans Saints.

Pete Carroll has always been considered a bit of a rent-a-coach for USC, with just about everyone believing he'd be off to the NFL again at some point. With a little bit of pro success, going 6-10 with the Jets in 1994 and 28-23 with three playoff games from 1997 to 1999 at New England, he's seen life at the next level.
