Pete Carroll reaction

Everywhere you look, at least on most sports sites, one of the first things you see is the story about Pete Carroll and his departure from USC. It's obvious that it is going to be a big deal, if no other reason than the high-profile he has created in his ten years there. But it seems to be a little overblown and not in the way I thought it would be.

Yes the story is about how Carroll is leaving USC for "greener pastures" in the NFL (ones he has grazed through in the past). But how about he just Calipari-ed USC? Is it just a coincidence that Carroll is leaving USC just as his program is probably going to be sanctioned? Or that the player in question (Joe McKnight) is turning pro? How about the kids he is leaving behind? The ones he recruited to play for the SCHOOL and promised that he would be there for their entire careers? Do they have a say? No. But in essence some of this, on their part, could have been avoided. Many players and some major recruits have said that they are going to consider other schools now because Carroll is leaving for the NFL. That means one thing: the kids sign to play for the coach and NOT THE SCHOOL. While that isn't Carroll's fault, that these kids are immature and believe everything he tells them, where is the story about the kid who was wanted by nobody, but walked on at USC and became a major player? Nowhere, b/c unlike alot of the other players in the system, he came to play for the SCHOOL b/c he had always loved the SCHOOL. But then again, as we all have said and will continue to say...Sports is a business...
