In college football, every single play is subject to a replay review if the booth officials see something during a play that merits a closer look on replay. And Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll seems to think the NFL should go with that model.
During a press conference this week, Pete Carroll argued that the league should consider using replay to review every single play, saying “We need to do things right.”
“As long as we’re subject to the replay mode, I think they should get things right,” Carroll said. “I would’ve told you for years and years, I would rather put it on the officials to call the game and let’s keep the game going. I liked it better when it was like that, but now that I’ve grown up and not kicking and screaming about it, I think we should use it. They’re trying to help as much as they can, more than ever. I think they just keep expanding their effect because we need to get it right. We need to do things right and not have to live with issues. If they think that they could do it, if they could handle it and have enough crew to handle all the games and see it, that’s a big statement for them to do every play. It would be in the best interest of getting things right. That’s really what we’d like to do.”
College football has done this successfully for nearly two decades, since debuting replay reviews in the 2004 season. Surely, the NFL can figure it out as well.
