Pete Carroll

To many Miami Dolphins fans, Pete Carroll is known not as the coach of the Seattle Seahawks but as the former classless head coach of the New York Jets.

For four seasons from 1990 to 1993 Pete Carroll led the Jets defense as the teams defensive coordinator. He became head coach in 1994 and was fired following the season.

In the second to last game of the NFL season, the Dolphins trailed the Jets with just over 2:30 left in regulation. The Dolphins scored a touchdown to pull within one but Pete Stoyanovich would miss the extra point.

Carroll Rushed off the sideline holding his throat indicating that Stoyanovich had choked.

It would be the Dolphins however who would get the last laugh as Miami would get the ball back and drive the field giving Stoyanovich a chance to win the game with a 37 yard field goal.

The Dolphins won.
