To him success is a legacy, defined not only by wins and Lombardis, but also by leaving his thumbprint on the entire league ala Walsh and Landry. I think that nothing makes Carroll more proud than seeing his protégés like Bradley and Quinn (soon to include Bevell and Cable) having success with their new teams. Success in the arena of wins and championships is a necessary component of the bigger picture.
I truly believe this attitude has percolated throughout the organization. Success means being the breeding ground for the most coveted executives, coaches, and free agents in the league.

you're also more likely to get the best and the brightest young coaches to come to you if you allow them upward mobility and opportunity

He was hamstrung with an HC and cap he had to clean up but he takes the bullet on Revis walking (even though Woody didn't want to pay Revis after multiple tough negotiations).
This is a good thing though. It is sort of like folks raiding the Patriots for coaches and FO personnel due to BB's success. Just like Seahawks DBs away from the team, folks note that ex-Patriot players/coaches and FO people fizzled once they left Foxboro.
