PETE CARROLL APPROVES OF YOUR DECISION TO DESTROY YOUR LIFE
EDSBS —
Pete Carrol was not wearing his Captain Compassion underwear today at the press conference announcing Mark Sanchez’s decision to go pro:
“He’s going against the grain on this one. I told him Durex, but he went with Lifestyles. I said Honda, but he went Subaru. I mean, he’s going to be fine, except that everyone else who’s done this went up in flames except for Mike Vick. Am I saying Mark Sanchez is going to get herpes and start a dogfighting ring? The data’s not there to back up that this won’t happen to him. Because it will. Those dogs are going to hate ...
Pete Carroll may be 'disappointed' in Mark Sanchez, but can he say it out loud?
Dr. Saturday —
27Via Adam Rose at the L.A. Times, here's Pete Carroll at Mark Sanchez's "I'm Going Pro" press conference today, taking his quarterback to task for going "against the grain":
I would describe the coach here as brutally honest yet patient -- he showed up, and he did at least say he was "thrilled" for Sanchez. Then again, I don't know Pete Carroll, so perhaps I can't always tell when he's angry (well, sometimes I can). Trojan beat writer Scott Wolf, for example, described the scene as "pathetic":
USC coach Pete Carroll was extremely ungracious during the Mark Sanchez ...
A Ticked Off Pete Carroll?
The Wiz of Odds —
Mark Sanchez said goodbye to college football on Thursday, leaving USC a year early to chase his dream of becoming an NFL quarterback. Sanchez's decision did not sit well with Pete Carroll, returned Wednesday night from a vacation in Hawaii. "Mark is going against the grain and he knows that and he's OK with that," Carroll said. Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times wrote that Carroll was "agitated and speaking with the vigor of a leader who had just lost a hard-fought battle." Sanchez's decision was probably made easier when Tim Tebow, Sam Bradford and Colt McCoy decided to return. His only ...
Mark Sanchez will not be a good pro quarterback
tonyblogs.net - Sports news, humor, videos and prognostications. —
I mean, his own coach doesn't even think he's ready for the NFL. Pete Carroll said Thursday that he and Sanchez "don't see this decision the same." From ESPN.com:
"Mark is going against the grain on this decision and he knows that. He knows that coming out early is a tremendous challenge for a quarterback and the statistics don't back up that it's easy to be successful in the way that he's going about it," Carroll said. Thanks to YouTube I can even show you how underwhelmed Coach Carroll was with the decision:
Carroll’s ‘Pathetic’ Reaction To Sanchez Departure
SPORTSbyBROOKS —
Longtime USC beat writer Scott Wolf of the LOS ANGELES DAILY NEWS criticized Pete Carroll’s public reaction today to Mark Sanchez announcing he is going pro. Pete Carroll Mark Sanchez ... awkward (Awkward) Wolf reports: USC coach Pete Carroll was extremely ungracious during the Mark Sanchez press conference . He stormed out of the room and did not even sit at the table before Sanchez addressed the media. Something he never did when Matt Leinart , etc., announced their decisions. Carroll never sat down at the table but stood with his palms on the table. His anger was clear if you spend time around him. Not a great moment. That sort of ...
Sanchez Officially Declares For The NFL

There's a lot of mess going around regarding today's presser with Mark Sanchez going pro and Pete Carroll talking about his ability to succeed. I'd rather just present both videos from All Things Trojan, without too much editorializing by yours truly early on. First, Sanchez's decision:
Next, Carroll's comment on the decision:
I'd be remiss personally if I didn't think Sanchez should stay. It's better for the program and generally, I am loath to believe that one year of starting as a QB in college is even close to ...

Pete Carroll Just Doesn't Think Sanchez Going Pro Is A Good Idea Whatsoever [College Football]
Deadspin —
USC Coach Pete Carroll seems downright despondent over his starting quarterback heading to the NFL. The LA Times's, "All Things Trojan" blog has the video of the press conference, in which Carroll, usually brimming with positivity, struggles to hide his disappointment with Matt Sanchez's decision to go pro. The only upside to Sanchez coming out early seems to be that the other marquee underclassmen quarterbacks — Tebow, Bradford, McCoy— decided to wait another year. Even the USC faithful feel that Sanchez could use a little more seasoning. Pete Carroll peeved about Mark ...

Does USC Coach Pete Carroll Have a Right to Be Angry With QB Mark Sanchez?
The Big Lead —
USC quarterback Mark Sanchez chose to forego his final year of eligibility to enter the NFL draft. Pete Carroll then displayed the maturity of a petulant 10-year-old, lambasting Sanchez’ purportedly poor decision.
Perhaps, we should trust Carroll. Obviously, he has Sanchez’ best interests at heart. He’s on the record for wanting his players to stay in school. Look how irate he was when Reggie Bush left early.
Trojans coach Pete Carroll said Bush made the right decision.
“He’s such a special player, a ...

Mark Sanchez Press Conference Announcing NFL Draft Entry; Pete Carroll Not Happy
FanIQ Blog —
When Mark Sanchez announced that he was going to skip his senior year and enter the NFL Draft, USC coach Pete Carroll was visibly disappointed. He made no bones about it, he thought Sanchez made the wrong decision.
It's hard to tell where Pete's coming from on this one. Some people question his motives, since it's obvious that he wouldn't mind seeing Sanchez return to play for USC for another year. However, I don't believe that's the case, here. USC is in good shape at the QB position, with 3 returning QB's, including former Arkansas starter Mitch Mustain, and they are also bringing in freshman Matt ...
Pete Carroll and Benedict Arnold Mark Sanchez
Double Extra Point —
[image] With Sam Bradford, Tim Tebow, and Colt McCoy all deciding to return to school for the 2009 college football season, USC QB Mark Sanchez took a leap of a faith ( no disrespect Tim Tebow ) and decided to declare for the 2009 NFL draft without Pete Carroll's endorsement. Sanchez has 16 games and one full year as a starter on his resume, which evidently doesn't meet Carroll's criteria for the NFL. Said Sanchez: " It is with a heavy heart that I say goodbye to this university ." Said Carroll: " We didn't see this decision the same ." Said Sanchez: " I will always fight on ." Said Carroll: " Mark is going against the grain in this decision, we know ...
Pete Carroll: Grade-A Jerkwad
WaitingForNextYear —
Surly Pete Carroll Wow. As you all know by now, I am a fan of the Maize and Blue , and their football coach has often been criticized for being—how do you say— kind of a jerk . And, as a fan of Michigan, I’m often finding myself a bit, um, annoyed by the P.C.-ness of Senator Tressel. And, there have even been ruminations here at this very site about a little USC-envy, even in spite of his OSU-tinted dismissal of some chicanery . But there is one thing about USC that reared its ugly head yesterday about which none of us are envious: Pete Carroll all but shoving Matt Sanchez under a fleet of buses after the QB’s decision to enter ...
Will the Mark Sanchez Conference Cost Pete Carroll in Recruiting?
Larry Brown Sports —
It’s really tough to judge Pete Carroll based on his answers to questions regarding Mark Sanchez’s decision to leave school early for the NFL draft. Carroll’s clearly motivated by his desire to run a strong program, and having Sanchez back for a 5th year would ostensibly put the team in its best position to win the Pac-10 and compete for a BCS title. At the same time, he recruits and coaches his players and develops strong relationships with them over the years. Wouldn’t he want the best for those players and want them to take his advice when he feels so strongly about a subject? Given the numbers and ...

USC begins spring with QB competition
TheDailyBlitz.com —
USC's Pete Carroll acted like a jackass at the press conference for departing USC QB Mark Sanchez, who will be one of the top two QBs selected in this year's NFL draft. The other is Georgia junior QB Matthew Stafford.
Yesterday, the Trojans began the search to find the replacement for Sanchez with a QB competition as they kicked off spring practice. Former USC QB Matt Leinart was in town to watch. And perhaps to participate in a hot tub party as well.
The four QBs competing to become the starter are Aaron Corp, Mitch Mustain, Matt Barkley and Garrett Green. Corp is a third-year sophomore, Mustain is a junior, Barkley is a ...

NBC Sports - College Football Talk —
Hopefully we won't get washed out by a raging sea of Mountain Dew, but we're off to venture into the frenetic head of Pete Carroll . Could it be that the confident coach who endlessly preaches his "Win Forever" philosophy is really focused on winning next year? Is he actually capable of rational thought and making concessions of any sort? Could this be why Carroll has anointed true freshman Matt Barkley to be his starting quarterback this season ? Yup. USC's schedule is brutal, especially on the road. In Week 2 the Trojans play at Ohio State. Oh sure, they'll walk into the Horseshoe with their usual sweatsuit swagger, but their demeanor upon leaving ...
