It seems like every columnist has an opinion on Pete Carroll in the aftermath of the Trojans’ 16-13 loss to Washington. The Times’ Bill Plaschke weighed in from Seattle after the game. T.J. Simers was out at practice for ‘Tell the Truth Monday.’
Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz of the Daily Trojan, USC’s campus newspaper, also provides a fair and interesting viewpoint in a column that references Carroll, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Malcolm Gladwell, Aaron Corp, Matt Barkley and the Trojans.
‘If Carroll isn’t a fan of Fitzgerald, perhaps he can learn through literature by picking up a book by Malcolm Gladwell. The coach references Outliers when referring to Barkley, but he might want to take a look at The Tipping Point, which details how the tiniest factors can catalyze unforeseen and sometimes disastrous endings.’
