A Portrait of Greatness
Posted: January 27, 2024
A portrait of Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll…
He’s a portrait of greatness.
He’s picture of youth
(even though he’s as old as I am).
This gum-chewing shepherd
of gridiron sheep
is a passionate “prince of a man.”
He’s a cheerleading coach on the sidelines of life.
He inspires with focus and hope.
Another’s potential is the gift Pete unwraps.
He’s a Sherpa on steep slippery slopes.
He is worthy of honor
as he now departs
from a city that claimed him with pride.
He’s a Carroll that often
brought joy to our world.
But his leaving feels like someone died
