  Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Yukon Football Coaches Show Jima with
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: us on Mike Chrispino. We're back with you on Saturday,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: and it's a three point thirty kickoff at the Rent
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: as the Huskies wrap.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Up the first half of their schedule.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: We'll have a bye week following this game with Florida
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: International and we'll get to the Panthers in just a moment.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Want to talk a little defense coach here.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: We're going to have ty King on with us a
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: little bit later in the program, and he had seven tackles.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: He's been a real, you know, impact guy on your
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: defensive units. And we talked to him about getting used
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: to playing next to people who he never played with.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, the chemistry thing in football is really important.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: I think you would agree and tell me about that
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: because now he's playing next to people that he never
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: played next to, and he's had you know, the spring
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: in the summer camp and now we've had some games here.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: How do you look at that unit because Omar Diamande
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: is doing a nice job. I mean that unit is
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: starting to come together.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with you, and we need to see
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: even better results than we're seeing.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: But so much a plan.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: Good defense is that cohesiveness and the trust and the
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: guys that are in front of you, behind you and
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: beside you. And you're starting to see that, you know,
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: you see it growing practice and you see it transformed
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: to the game. I think that we've got a really
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: good linebacker crew, you know, with Brian, param and Umar
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: and Taekwan. And I'm going to throw a mirror Renwick
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: in there, because I think he's a darning good player.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: He hasn't gotten a lot of snaps yet, but you know,
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: and we'll rotate those guys through. Brian didn't play as
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: much as past week. He was dinged up just a
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: little bit. He's fine, But having four guys that you
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: really feel that you can count on is a nice thing.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: And then you know, the accumulation of reps that they've
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: been able to take together through spraying, like you said,
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: through summer and now through games are just it's starting
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: to show up in the consistency of their play.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Ty King will tell us a story in a
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: few moments, but I'm going to tell you the story
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: about his recruiting and coming here and meeting you and
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: bringing his mother. And I was impressed by this because
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: he said that you didn't tell him what he wanted
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: to hear, and like the other guys did who he
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: had gone to talk to.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: So I wonder, when you meet with.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: A player and you haven't really met him and you're
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: talking about maybe they come to Yukon to play.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Football, how do you approach it?
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, you just, you know, shoot from the hip
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: a little bit and find out what a guy's about.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: And I was impressed. But the reason he said he
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: came here is that you didn't tell him what.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Everyone else was trying to tell him.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: And I'm saying to myself, wait a minute, what the
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: heck went on there?
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Well, I don't lie. I'm not gonna lie to him
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: or mislead him. I think, you know, in order to
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: get your their best and in order to have a
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: happy mom, I have to understand the reality of the situation.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: You know, you're gonna have to come in here and
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: you're gonna have to compete. Everything's earned nothing. And when
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: you say that to a guy and he embraces it
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: the way taekwon, did you know you got the right
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: kind of guy? You know, you know you got a
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: guy that loves to compete that's a fighter. That's that's
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: all about ball. And I felt with this kid like
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: an instant connection. I did. I don't know how you felt,
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: but I was like, yeah, this is my kind of guy.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: And I still feel it, and I feel it even stronger,
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: like very quickly, I've come to really really respect and
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: appreciate and like this this young man. And uh, I'm
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: so glad he's on our team. But I think it
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: all has to start with honesty. We yeah, I mean,
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: you don't shoot from the hip, but yeah, you have
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: a plan, but that's based upon what you know. But
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: when you sit down with a family and questions start
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: getting asked, and I'm not gonna lie, you know, I
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: tell the parents I don't want a call from an
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: unhappy mom or an unhappy dad or an unhappy aunt
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: her uncle because I've told them something. We'll promise them
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: something and then it's not happening. So it's all about,
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: you know, being honest. And if, like I said, in
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: the case of this guy, when you told him it
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: wasn't going to be easy, it's like he was like, great,
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: that's how I want it. You go, okay, yeah, I
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: want this kind of guy on my team.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: For sure.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: The other thing about him which was impressive in what
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: he was saying is that he came into the meeting
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: with you and with his mom, and he's really trusted
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: his mother's opinion on what the interchange would be. And
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: I thought that was smart, right, you come in with
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: somebody who you trust, his mom, and they talk to you,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: and they talk about football, and they talk about Yukon,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: and then he went with her opinion and what she
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: thought of you and the whole circumstance, And I just
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: I just think that is a really good way to
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: do business.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: If you can do it that way.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: Well, you're a parent. I'm a parent, and I think
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: that you know, I always try to approach every meeting
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: I have with those people as if I were sitting
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: in their shoes.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: I have kids that were D one athletes. You know,
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: I was on recruiting visits. You know, my son was
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: an All American lacrosse player played at Maryland. I went
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: to some of the best high school or college lacross
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: program in the country and sat with their coaches yea,
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: and I asked the questions that were important to me
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: as a parent, And of course it dawned on me.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: If these are the things that I'm looking for for
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: my son, then I need to make sure I'm providing
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: them for somebody else's son.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: The number one thing is honesty and transparency and making
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: sure that they know that their kids are going to
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: be in good hands and taken care of and their
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: well being is going to be number one priority. So
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: that's just what you know, that's just my philosophy. I
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: don't know what anyone else's philosophy. For me, it's always,
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: you know, how would I want my son or my
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: daughter Because my daughter in law played, my stepdaughter played,
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: you know, two time national champion at USC and beach volleyball,
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: So I got some athletes in the family, and it's like, Okay,
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: how do I want my kid treated? That's how I'm
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: going to treat your kid.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good philosophy, no doubt. I coached Jim Morrow,
