Carroll reveals why he disagrees with Sanchez’s decision to turn pro early

After days of deliberation, Coach Pete Carroll and Mark Sanchez agreed to disagree.

But that definitely doesn’t mean Carroll is content with Sanchez’s decision to forgo his senior season and declare for the NFL Draft.

Carroll fleshed out his disagreement with Sanchez’s decision during a passionate exclusive interview with USCRipsIt about an hour after the quarterback’s announcement on Thursday morning.

“The facts are so strong against this decision,” Carroll said. “After analyzing all the information, the truth is there — he should’ve stayed for another year.”

Carroll cited a study that shows 62 percent of underclassmen quarterbacks who declare early for the Draft eventually don’t pan out in the NFL. He also pointed to Sanchez’s NFL Draft evaluation, which projected Sanchez as a second-round selection.

“Mark’s chance to increase his value and become the top player in college football next year would have been worth $10-$20 million or more — likely more,” Carroll said. “One more year of running a team is almost priceless, so he lost the chance to fully prepare himself and become the very best he could be before going to the NFL.

“That’s why there’s a 62 percent failure rate for underclassmen quarterbacks.”

During the press conference, Sanchez repeatedly referred to achieving a lifelong dream as to one of the reasons he made this decision.

“We have always been in full support of Mark pursuing his dream,” Carroll said, “he just should have postponed realizing his dream another 12 months.”

Carroll stressed that his advice to Sanchez throughout the last two weeks had the quarterback’s interests in mind, not his team’s.

“I’m trying to help him be the best he can be, and that would’ve been to stay in school another year and increase his value,” Carroll said. “The facts are there. And he knew all of it, but that’s what he wanted to do it, so we wish him the best.”

Carroll wasn’t alone in his disagreement.

“His family didn’t want it and everybody else told him he should’ve stayed,” Carroll said. “Also, he let go of the opportunity to affect the people around the university and the community, something that would’ve been unforgettable.”

Although he remained strong in his disagreement, Carroll emphasized that he still supports Sanchez and knows he “will always be a special member of the Trojan family.”

“Even though we disagree, I still support him and we’re going to try to help him in any way we can,” Carroll said. “It’s like a family member — you’re not going to stop loving him just because he makes a bad choice.

“Hopefully he’ll overcome the history of these decisions and the people’s opinions out there and becomes very successful.”

By the end of April we'll know if Sanchez was incredibly smart or unbelievably stupid.

Didn't I read on here
the Pioli way is not to take a QB that high
and stay out of the top 10 if you can

so you're claiming that you know more than the NFL advisers the USC uses?

bkkcoh · 01-16-2009, 02:08 PM

I think he would be a steal in the 2nd round.

Fritz88 · 01-16-2009, 02:13 PM

Will consider him if he falls to the 3rd round.

No way!

RustShack · 01-16-2009, 02:16 PM

What are the chances of James Laurenitus falling to the second round? Right now ESPN has him ranked at 22 and I don't see him as the type of guy who will light up the combine.

Hootie · 01-16-2009, 02:24 PM

so basically the Pioli way is to draft a bunch of white guys!

I'm down...

There are people who have made that observation about the Patriots. The racial makeup of the team and things like that.

sanchez IMO made a decision based on the fact that with mccoy and bradford returning next years draft will have more QBs available so this year he will have less competition
