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.”

Why? He graduates this year and his stock probably wont get any higher.

Yes!

Only time will tell if it was a wise decision. But, from where I sit, it seems to be the correct decision. He is projected to be at least the 2nd. QB choosen. Next year there will be 3 QB's ... I believe all 3 are seniors? & thus, will be in the draft ... Sanchez could have a down year ... McCoy & Bradford will likely be even better. Tebow is getting a new QB coach and may demostrate he is a true NFL prospect at QB. Sanchez could fall to #4. I know it's not likely but it's possible.

Yes, had he gone back he may be the overall 1st. pick. (But, it's not impossble for him to be #1 ... Detroit makes the pick. But, he could get hurt and never play in the NFL.

For the comment about him being Leaf ... he does not appear to be a head case. If Leaf was okay between the ears he would be an NFL probowler. Leaf had the talent just couldn't handle the attitude/mental aspects of the game. Yes, he may be one of those other 1st. round busts.

I bet Carroll told Leinart he should stay for his senior season too.

Don't think for a second that Leinart doesn't regret not coming out after his junior year, and I'm sure he told Sanchez that.

What?

I've been told the advisory committee only thinks Sanchez is a 2nd round pick.

My scouts are saying that the 4th round is more likely.

The draft experts on CP know more than any of those people. Just ask them. Why the NFL hasn't hired them yet is beyond me....
