Will Seto follow Sarkisian to UW?

PrintCaught this over on the Seattle PI Blog...
According to a source in L.A., USC secondary coach Rocky Seto may be among the first to announce he will join Steve Sarkisian in Washington.
The source, who works closely with the team but is not a university employee, said while assessing Sarkisian: "Another good thing is it sounds like he'll bring Rocky Seto, who is an Xs and Os guy that is very underrated. It sounds like he'll be joining (Sarkisian) as defenseive coordinator, or to coach the defensive backs or linebackers."
On Monday, Sarkisian would not name names, but promised his search for assistants would be thorough, and he said "possibly yes" about bringing up colleagues from USC.
I am not sure that Seto is ready to be the DC, thats a big jump from secondary to DC. I also don't think Seto will the last SC coach that Sarkisian will poach.
Its a bit troubling to me but what can you do...I have a hard time seeing coaches making lateral moves. I would think it would have to be a step up to get coaches to move which is wy DeWayne Walker wouldn't go to UW in the same position. We will have to keep an eye on this. If more coaches do go it will force Pete Carroll to possibly look outside the program for replacements going against his ohilosophy of continuity.
Gonna be interesting...

there are limits
Even a well coached defense can only do so much if they keep getting stuck with the mistakes of the offense.
Yeah,
After holding Tennessee to a pretty decent score, then Coach Walker’s D goes and lays an egg like that. I can see where ParagonSC is coming from, but all in all- I think Coach Walker would be a decent HC.
In this day and age, if I were an AD. . . .I’d pick a defensive mind to be HC of my school’s football team (for long term success), coupled with smart minds in the OC and DC positions. (Think Pete Carroll, and. . . .dare I invoke: Coach Nick Saban and his recent McElwain OC hire at ’Bama).

And. .
. . to that end , Coach Rocky Seto as a decent DC. I’ve seen weirder hires. (Shula as HC at Bama, Ty Willingham as 1st HC at Stanford, Dorrell as HC at Ucla- all were weird in some respects, with only Ty @ Stanford really panning out. So to speak. Then again. . . .the words of ParagonSC. . . “how did that work out after Stanford?”. . .I could just hear/read him !!!)
