This excerpt is from the book by Pete Carroll title "Win Forever." In these two paragraphs, he talks about the importance of everybody in the organization being unified and on the same page.
I left the NFL knowing that wherever I ended up next, my job would be to coach every part of the organization and be sure that we all had one heartbeat, one voice. I now understand that different cultures could exist in the front and back offices, but to succeed, these elements need to be in sync. A head coach should be able to hire his own coaching staff if he wants a cohesive unit and also have a strong hand in selecting players. Confidence and trust are vital to a successful organization, and leadership must be supported unconditionally - to the bitter end, if necessary.
Ultimately, I learned that success in the NFL depends on all parts of the organization working together to field a championship team. The competition is so intense and the level of expertise so evenly that only the strongest survive. The strongest, I firmly believe, are those that are the most unified as an organization.
