Building a Program In His Own Image: How Ed Orgeron is Flexing Pete Carroll’s Philosophies at LSU

I like Pete Carroll. I realize that makes me an anathema around these parts, but I’m an admirer of his work. And look, however you feel of him personally, there’s no arguing his track record. He’s one of the best, most successful coaches of his era. Carroll, more than a lot of other coaches, has a very philosophical approach to football. Every coach has a strategic preference and core set of fundamentals, but Carroll takes that to the next level in terms of mentality, attitude and translating that into how he and his coaches teach, conduct practice and so forth.
