<h2>Early Life and Background</h2>
<p>Pete Carroll, born <a href="/biography/pete-carroll">Peter Clay Carroll</a> on September 15, 1951, in San Francisco, California, is an American football coach best known for his contributions to both college and professional football. He was born to James Edward "Jim" Carroll and Rita Carroll. His paternal grandparents were Irish immigrants, while his maternal grandparents immigrated from the Austro-Hungarian Empire and were of Croatian descent.</p>

<p>As a child, Carroll was enthusiastic about sports but struggled with his small stature during his early teenage years. Weighing only 110 pounds (50 kg) during his freshman year of high school, he needed a doctor’s clearance to try out for the football team. Despite these early challenges, Carroll’s determination and athleticism earned him a spot on the team, where he played as a wide receiver, quarterback, and defensive back. Outside of football, Carroll also played baseball and basketball, and his exceptional performance in athletics earned him the title of Athlete of the Year in his senior year at Redwood High School in 1969.</p>

<h2>Education and Collegiate Athletics</h2>
<p>After graduating from Redwood High School in Larkspur, California, Carroll attended the College of Marin, a nearby junior college, where he played football for two years. He then transferred to the University of the Pacific in Stockton, California, where he joined the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. While at Pacific, Carroll played as a free safety for the Tigers football team for two seasons. He earned a bachelor’s degree followed by a Master’s degree in Physical Education in 1976 and also completed a secondary teaching credential, which would later support his coaching career.</p>

<h2>Coaching Career Beginnings</h2>

Although his tenure in Buffalo lasted just one season, it marked an important step into professional football. He transitioned to the Minnesota Vikings in 1985, serving as defensive backs coach for five seasons. After departing Minnesota in 1989, Carroll applied for the head coaching job at Stanford University but lost the opportunity to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Green">Dennis Green</a>.</p>
