Pete Carroll in a press conference interview video the night the USC Trojans won the Rose Bowl. Carroll is commenting on his star quarterback, Mark Sanchez, and the speculation that Sanchez might bolt for the NFL draft in the spring (see "Mark Sanchez of USC on NFL Prospects"). Of course, a few days after this press conference, Mark Sanchez announced that he would be leaving school for the NFL draft--against the advice of his coach.
The key part of this clip comes right at the beginning when Carroll says "I'm way beyond trying to hold on to guys." The Believability Meter confirms what every college football fan already knows: another star quarterback give or take will not even slow down the juggernaut of a program Carroll has built in Southern California. Do you think Sanchez is making a mistake by coming out early?











Carroll strikes me as an honest upfront guy.I believe he was being candid and honest in this interview.
