Mike Sager at Esquire magazine wrote a really great article on Coach Pete Carroll. The title of the piece is Big Balls Pete Carroll. This is a must read. Here is a tease from this fascinating piece:

Jerry Garcia said that he didn’t want his band to be the best ones doing something,” Carroll explained slowly, wanting the words to sink in. “He wanted them to be the only ones doing it. To be all by yourself out there doing something that nobody else can touch — that’s the thought that guides me, that guides this program: We’re going to do things better than it’s ever been done before in everything we do, and we’re going to compete our ass off. And we’re gonna see how far that takes us.”
