Fifteen years in the NFL, multiple time Pro Bowler, Heisman Winter College Hall of Famer, and now and now high school football coach about to become high school football coaching legend. His son's the quarterback and he is joining us now live right now, Carson Palmer in his office right now, around the clock. So you were at USC and then all of a sudden, your first coach, Paul Hackett, doesn't work. Here comes Pete Carroll. So you're a young guy. That Raider roster's got a lot of young guys. What was your first impress of Pete Carroll? You had a great year, I mean you you Pete kind of took you to New Heights. But give me your first impressions of Pete and what really resonated with you.

Just the energy he brought to the program. Uh, you know, there was.

Just the energy he brought to the program. Uh, you know, there was.

There was such a vision that was laid out in front of us from the jump, and there was a clear vision. He knew what he wanted, he knew what he expected, We knew as players what to expect from him and what he expected from us, which is just at the end of the day, what you want. You know, when when you're the Raiders, you just want some stability. It has been a very unstable environment for a very long time, and he instantly gives you that stability, that that pro that that organization needs.

And when you're coaching in high school and you've had good coaches, you've there's been a lot of Got Bruce Arians, Pete Carroll. What is the one thing you will take from Pete as a coach, the one discipline on the one culture cetter that you'll take from Pete.

There's not There's not one thing. I had a chance to spend, you know, five or six hours meeting with Pete before I took this, this coaching job at Santa Margari to high school, and I took I took twelve things. I still am texting him asking him, you know certain things, how to run this, how to do this. So he's not a one thing guy. He doesn't do one thing well. Brings tremendous energy, he's super mature. Uh, he's he's got success, so he's got credibility.

Uh.

Uh.

But the you know, the things that I look.

But the you know, the things that I look.

And that I'm hanging my hat on, are you know, there were simple rules, but Pete isn't you know a ton of rules. You know, super disciplinarian. You know, there's a handful of rules. They all make a lot of sense. They're really easy to follow. And if you can't follow those rules, then you probably shouldn't be on his team, or really any team. But there's not one thing that when I think back about my experience playing with him, you know, I learned. I learned how to be a leader. I learned how important it is to focus on the ball and how important it is to go get the ball on defense. He always talked about that, securing it, never giving it away, and attacking it on defense. He talked about respect, respect for your team, respect for the officials, respect for your opponent. He was, he's he's the greatest coach that I ever had the chance to play for. He's a future Hall of Famer. He's everything you want to coach and the Raiders organization. Uh, this is an exciting day obviously for the future. You know, I know it's a three year deal, maybe a four year deal, but he's just he gives you instant credibility, stability, maturity, and he's been there and done that, and and what he did in Seattle was amazing, going from you know, the Matt Hasselbeck, Sean Alexander creating the late Legion of Boom, developing the legion Legion of Boom, being there long enough to see those guys leave and move on, and then still getting the playoffs, you know, with with Russell Wilson at quarterback and Beast Mode in the backfield and really reinventing that team after the Legion of Boom, you know, to bringing along Geno Smith. I mean, I don't think he gets the credit he deserves for the success and the stability that he brought to Seattle.

You played in a conference championship game, NFC championship game. Go back to that moment. Jaden Daniels, Jalen Hurt's now been in a couple Mahome's been in a lot. Josh Allen's experience, Jaden Daniels, this is his first. That was your first You tell me anxious, did you worry about like being so amped up that can affect sort of you know, your mechanics. Go back to your NFC Championship game. What was it like.

Go back to your NFC Championship game. What was it like.

Yeah, Jaden's got nothing to lose. I mean, he's playing with house money, all the pressures on Philly. He's you know, he's got all the hype. You know, everybody's gonna be focused on him. The obviously, that entire defense, that entire stadium, the energy is going to be electric. But man, he's out there playing as a rookie thinking I've got a whole career ahead of me to get back here.

I'm just gonna let it loose, cut it loose.

I'm just gonna let it loose, cut it loose.

And that's the one thing when you watch him play, he doesn't really he doesn't play within a mold. He plays outside the system a lot, which is really unique and a lot of guys don't have success doing that. He is just playing with so much natural instinct and his first one of his best attributes and one of the things he's looking to do first is take off and run with the ball. He's such a good running runner with the ball. And it's not because he's a four to four guy. It's because he has the ability to get down and cut and change direction and make people miss. So I think in his mind right now, he cannot wait for this game. He knows all the pressures on Philly. They're at home, they've been there, they're expected to continue to play through this game and into the super Bowl. And he's playing with, you know, a young team, a first year head coach, in his first year as a quarterback.

You had a year in Arizona. It's still the best year quarterbacks ever had there. You threw for forty six hundred yards thirty five touchdowns. In the history of the Chicago Bears, they've never had a quarterback equal the one year your greatest year. It's the greatest year Arizona's ever had for a quarterback in a season. You also, I think you were the first quarterback to throw for four thousand yards for three different teams, so you had success in multiple places. All that said, Chicago has struggled with quarterback. They've never had a four thousand yard quarterback, They've never had thirty touchdown passes. You did it all sorts of teams, so obviously that's a lot of you because you did it with different people. Maybe some of it is the weather, maybe some of it is It's always had a defensive culture, but there is something to unlock here. You know Caleb Williams pretty well as a former USC guy. How does Ben Johnson This is a defensive culture. It really is. You think Bears, you think defense. If you were taking over Caleb Williams in Chicago, cold weather, rough outdoor games. Are there any secrets to getting over the hump for a historic franchise that can't get over the hump at that position?

Are there any secrets to getting over the hump for a historic franchise that can't get over the hump at that position?

Yeah, I mean a historic franchise that hasn't had success at that position, but they've never had the athlete or the player and the competitor that Caleb is at that position. So it's a first time that that organization has had somebody like him. You combine him with with with what you know, you watch Jared Goff do who Jared Goff is an incredible player, but not the athlete that Caleb is so I just when I first heard that coach Johnson was getting the job, Caleb's got the blueprint. He can sit there and watch hours and hours and hours of film of watching Caleb or I'm sorry, watching Jared Goff run that system. And then you combine the addition of all the attributes that Caleb has that Jared doesn't have within his repertoire, I think the sky's the limit. I think Ben is phenomenal what he's done. Some of the He's coming up with concepts that people have not seen or run in the NFL. There's some things he's doing in against man defense, in the play action game, their route combinations that I just haven't seen before, which is really rare. A lot of stuff in the NFL gets recycled and then it trickles down through college football. But Ben is an innovator. He's coming up with new stuff. And like I said, I mean, Chicago's got a quarterback and an athlete back there that they've never seen run out on that field in their uniform and their helmet. So I think it's a perfect combination, and I think the blueprint is right there for Caleb. It's so nice when you get a new head coach that comes in and you can watch that system on film and study that playbook and study the cut ups that he's going to be studying of Detroit and Jared Goff doing it, and I just think that's going to energize Caleb.

Ellison obviously this season there were major issues with some of his play calling. He just loved to go Joe Mixon run into the line of scrimmage to start almost every first Now Texans fans were irate about this. I guess the big picture you look at it, he was hopefully setting stuff up with the early down runs. But they made the playoffs each of Stroud's first two years. Okay, this year, the offensive line injuries were decimated the team. The receivers went down, and they still made the playoffs and still won a game in the playoffs.

Fifty five yards is a ton for a quarterback. And he also does a lot of eight yard runs. He doesn't do a lot of thirty forty yard runs.
