Both of these young coaches spent time as Offensive Coordinators at Southern California under the direction and guidance of Pete Carroll.

So what does the new head coach (Steve Sarkisian) at the University of Washington do? Commit two recruiting violations in his short time as the new Husky head coach.

The first was having recruits on visit given a simulation of game-day introductions and stadium entrances.

Now the Huskies have to contend with Sarkisian visiting a recruit, which is a high school senior while high school underclassmen (also potential recruits) were present. As you very well know, coaches cannot talk with or visit Juniors until July 1^st of the year they become Seniors in high school.

Lane Kiffin, which was the offensive coordinator before Sarkisian, gets hired at Tennessee. What does he do? The same thing as Steve did in simulating game day activities with recruits.

Where did these guys learn these recruiting tactics? Sure the second violation by Sarkisian could be an innocent mistake, since the meeting with the upperclassmen was at a hair salon and later at a coffee shop. So lets leave that one for you to determine.

However, when you have two new coaches that have not been away from Southern California or Pete Carroll that long, you have to raise an eye brow when they both do the same exact recruiting violation.

So shouldn't you be looking at Pete Carroll and his recruiting standards?

Mr. Carroll still has some smoke floating around about the Reggie Bush ordeal. Be it true or not, when these types of things come about from very young coaches, both taught by the same guy, you have to start to question the recruiting practices of that teacher.

Say what you want. Keep your opinion about the matter to yourself. It does not matter. Something smells like fish on the campus of Southern California. And until prove Pete Carroll does not recruit in this manner, then the smell will always be there.

With all that said, my opinion, nor this article will get the NCAA interested in USC or Pete Carroll. But it sure felt good getting this off my chest.

Must be a nice luxury knowing you are above the rules set forth by the NCAA
