There is a post on here about how Madden was sure that the SB loss would haunt Pete Carroll for years.

I doubt that.

Pete Carroll has something from his days as a college coach that works for him there. He has Perspective.

Coaching at USC, there are plenty of stories of him going into gang infested* areas. He saw plenty of people with few options, I am sure that he is well aware that getting to the SB in a game full of people that are at the top of their field - is a tremendous accomplishment.

But more so, I am betting he knows that making a difference matters more than a fleeting championship.

Carroll has seen the damage that crime, lack of opportunity, and lack of resources can do to kids & families. Clearly he cares enough about it to continue fighting that fight. Says a lot about what matters to him, and says a lot about his priorities.
