(Ed note: Screw SI, We may have started the Inc.com curse. Stanford. Ugh.)
How do you define success? For the USC Trojans, national championships are the measuring stick. Right now, the men of Troy are at 11 and counting…
Head coach Pete Carroll took a little time out of his off-season regime to give the readers of Success magazine a little insight into his managerial prowess and what makes him tick (hint, it rhymes with swampetition). I now truly believe that inviting one particular alum turned business writer is just the karma USC needs to get to New Orleans on January 7.
At the very least, it would ease the pain of Success folding (the irony is more than duly noted).
Having worked for a number of magazines that went into the shredder, I’ve learned this: When life throws a new defensive wrinkle at you, call an audible. Thus, Inc.com has picked up the Pete Carroll package, which includes both an interview with Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer and a picture of some paunchy dork being humbled by the manly girth of All-American offensive tackle Sam Baker.
To kickoff Carrollpalooza, here is an Inc.com slideshow of the Trojan Horse's lessons from the gridiron.
Fight on.
