Carroll led USC football to two National Championships in his nine-year stint.
The post Pete Carroll will return as Marshall commencement speaker appeared first on Daily Trojan.
Super Bowl winning head coach Pete Carroll, who led USC football to two National Championships in a nine-year early 2000s dynasty, will serve as the 2026 commencement speaker for the The Marshall School of Business, the school announced Tuesday.
Carroll was USC’s head coach from 2001-2009, amassing seven consecutive Pac-10 Championships, four Rose Bowl wins and a 97-19 overall record with the Trojans before he left to coach in the NFL for 19 years, leading the Seattle Seahawks to a Super Bowl in 2014.
“I am fired up to return to USC and the L.A. Coliseum, the place where we competed, won, and shared lifelong memories with the Trojan Family,” Carroll said in a Marshall news release. “I look forward to celebrating and challenging the Marshall Class of 2026 to pursue excellence in everything they do.”
In the release, Marshall Dean Geoffrey Garrett said the school chose Carroll to speak because he represents the leadership Marshall hopes to teach its students — in Spring 2025, Carroll taught a Marshall class about the philosophy of competition.
The Marshall undergraduate and graduate student commencement ceremony will take place May 15 at 10 a.m. at L.A. Memorial Coliseum.
We are the only independent newspaper here at USC, run at every level by students. That means we aren’t tied down by any other interests but those of readers like you: the students, faculty, staff and South Central residents that together make up the USC community.
Independence is a double-edged sword: We have a unique lens into the University’s actions and policies, and can hold powerful figures accountable when others cannot. But that also means our budget is severely limited. We’re already spread thin as we compensate the writers, photographers, artists, designers and editors whose incredible work you see in our paper; as we work to revamp and expand our digital presence, we now have additional staff making podcasts, videos, webpages, our first ever magazine and social media content, who are at risk of being unable to receive the support they deserve.
We are therefore indebted to readers like you, who, by supporting us, help keep our paper independent, free and widely accessible.
Please consider supporting us. Even $1 goes a long way in supporting our work; if you are able, you can also support us with monthly, or even annual, donations. Thank you.
