When You're Playing the Game: A Pete Carroll Fanfiction

Pete Carroll seems to have it all. He's just wrapping up his last year as the beloved head coach for the USC Trojans football team. He's been asked to return to the NFL and coach the down on their luck Seattle Seahawks and bring them to their full potential. The memories of his wife's unexpected death has finally stopped giving him nightmares, and his children and public adore him...as always. However, when a face from the past suddenly appears in Pete's life after 25 years, Pete's perfect life is turned upside down in a hurry. Will his popularity and power scare her away, or will he be able to prove that the old Pete Carroll magic still lies within him? Of course, where would he be without the help of a few well known friends along the way? A story of love, laughter, loss, and perseverance....and of course, football.

I do not own Pete Carroll or the NFL. This was just an idea that I had after the Seahawks played the Panthers this morning, when I realized that Pete is kinda cute.
