One year ago, when ex-USC quarterback and underclassman Mark Sanchez declared for the NFL draft, coach Pete Carroll took objection publicly. Let’s just say it wasn’t exactly a vote of confidence.

Here’s the video of his comments back then.

One year later, with Carroll headed to the Seahawks and the Sanchize winning playoff games for the Jets, Sanchez got a little post-game interview payback by jokingly mocking his old coach.

I know Sanchez was joking, but you can’t help but think that he had something to prove to his ex-coach this season.
