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 rival for the top quarterback spot in April's draft is Matt Stafford.
