The New York Jets are taking on the Seattle Seahawks this Sunday, and an interesting subplot to the game is the reunion of Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez and his former college coach Pete Carroll.
If you remember, Sanchez left USC while he still had another year of eligibility and Carroll let it be known that he thought his quarterback was making a mistake. Saying that another year of college would have benefited the young signal caller.
Sanchez left anyway and was taken with the fifth overall pick in the 2009 draft by the New York Jets. While he did lead the team to two AFC Championships in his first two seasons, he has struggled since. Perhaps proving Carroll’s point.
Jets coach Rex Ryan had some interesting comments about Carroll’s stance on Sanchez.
