Ted’s Talk: An ode to Pete Carroll

It wasn’t supposed to work.

Like so many others, I wasn’t a believer of Pete Carroll when it was announced that he would be the next head coach of the Seattle Seahawks back in 2010. He was that “rah-rah” college coach who already failed in the NFL, and it seemed that every report I read from so-called experts painted a picture of disaster for my favorite franchise. Basically, no one believed it would work.

Ironically, belief is at the core of who Pete Carroll is as we would all come to find out.

It didn’t take me long to come around to coach Carroll.
