1:02
Speaker 2: you do, yes, I would love it. In that Germany game,
1:07

2:02
Speaker 3: Right here we go.
2:03
Speaker 4: I know there are no breaks here.
2:05
Speaker 2: There are no breaks here whatsoever. I want to also
2:09
Speaker 2: remind people. I just I mentioned the basketball score, not
2:12
Speaker 2: to rub it in sort of, but to bring this up.
2:16
Speaker 2: Tomorrow the debut season debut Gary Parrish from CBS Sports. Yeah,
2:21
Speaker 2: I'm excited our college basketball guy. I was talking to
2:24
Speaker 2: some people last night. This is the time of the
2:26
Speaker 2: year we get revved up for college basketball. Of course,
2:29
Speaker 2: we are your home for March Madness ninety three point
2:31
Speaker 2: three KHRFM. Curtsy our friends at Westwood One the two
2:35
Speaker 2: greatest days of the year Thursday and Friday, days one
2:37
Speaker 2: and two of the tournament. Why because we don't work
2:39
Speaker 2: well unless you're Chuck and Buck. They work till nine
2:42

2:43
Speaker 3: Games after that.
2:44
Speaker 2: The day we have one hockey game most that day
2:47
Speaker 2: I think a Thursday game, so Friday off.
2:49
Speaker 3: But yeah, man, I can't wait. Good time to talk
2:51
Speaker 3: to Gary.
2:52
Speaker 2: College basketball has maybe the best freshman class they've ever had,
2:55
Speaker 2: and so we'll kind of jump into that a little bit.
2:58
Speaker 3: I always we joke about this, but it's true.
3:00
Speaker 2: Who everyone turns into a college basketball fans slash expert
3:04
Speaker 2: the final week or two of the regular season into
3:06
Speaker 2: March madas as you fill out your brackets. Of course,
3:08
Speaker 2: we do know a guy that is an expert. His
3:10
Speaker 2: name is Gary Parrish, and he'll join us tomorrow and
3:12
Speaker 2: makes it fun. I remember one of the big things,
3:15
Speaker 2: I always think this is a complient. I don't think
3:16
Speaker 2: I ever passed along to Gary necessarily, but one of the
3:19
Speaker 2: best compliments you can have.
3:20
Speaker 3: And I think you kind of said the same.
3:21
Speaker 2: Thing just but I remember when we first had him on,
3:24
Speaker 2: and Kevin was my old producer of in Shockey and
3:26
Speaker 2: He's like, I'm just really not much of a college
3:28
Speaker 2: basketball fan, but I could listen to Gary Parrish talk
3:30
Speaker 2: college basketball all week and all day.
3:32
Speaker 3: And I said, yeah, that's what he does.
3:34
Speaker 2: He and Mett Norlander's partner to do incredible podcast and
3:38
Speaker 2: I on college basketball. They do a great job inside
3:40
Speaker 2: college basketball and the CBS Sports Network. So yeah, it's
3:43
Speaker 2: fun having those dudes on, or having Gary on. We'll
3:45
Speaker 2: do that tomorrow. We're gonna wrap up the season tomorrow
3:47
Speaker 2: with Coselle as well. Corbyn Smith's going to join us
3:50
Speaker 2: here at one twenty today and kind of our last
3:53
Speaker 2: scheduled visit with Corbin until maybe around the draft time.
3:55
Speaker 2: We'll kind of have to figure out what we're gonna
3:57
Speaker 2: do heading into the drive. The draft's interesting this year,
4:01
Speaker 2: and I was talking to Jess you know, yesterday, like I,
4:03
Speaker 2: you know, we kind of start planning our spring.
4:05
Speaker 3: It's so different.
4:06
Speaker 2: Team goes to the Super Bowl and your football season
4:09
Speaker 2: gets elongated and you keep going into here. We are
4:12
Speaker 2: the twelfth of February, right and we'll wrap up our
4:15
Speaker 2: college football coverage in college or college, our our NFL coverage,
4:18
Speaker 2: our football and c X coverage tomorrow on the thirteenth
4:21
Speaker 2: of February.
4:22
Speaker 3: It's very deep into the year.
4:23
Speaker 5: Now.
4:23
Speaker 2: We got to start thinking about baseball. We will have
4:27
Speaker 2: the two Fellas back. Probably our first show I believe
4:31
Speaker 2: for Molly Wopp will be next month, a week from Monday.
4:34
Speaker 2: I'm off next week, so a week from Monday, so
4:37
Speaker 2: we'll probably do that a week from Monday, and then
4:39
Speaker 2: we'll check in with Eno again. I hope this year
4:41
Speaker 2: and much more so, and then college basketball. The draft
4:45
Speaker 2: is an interesting thing. And one of the things I
4:48
Speaker 2: want to talk to Corbin about coming up here at
4:49
Speaker 2: the bottom of the hour is what you do we'll
4:53
Speaker 2: do this with co Sale tomorrow as well. What you
4:55
Speaker 2: do if you're the Seahawks with your free agents in
5:02
Speaker 2: the off season.
5:03
Speaker 3: They have a good situation.
5:06
Speaker 2: In terms of who is you know, in terms of salary,
5:09
Speaker 2: cap space and all that. But they got some dudes
5:12
Speaker 2: that they've got to figure out what they're going to
5:14
Speaker 2: do with in terms of next season.
5:17
Speaker 3: What are you going to do?
5:18
Speaker 2: I mean, you're probably not going to bring Wolan back
5:20
Speaker 2: and job, You're gonna bring one of the two back.
5:24
Speaker 2: Probably probably that'd be the the that would be what
5:26
Speaker 2: you would.
5:27
Speaker 3: Want to do. But you know, whether it be you know.
5:33
Speaker 2: I mean Rashid Shihed, he says he's coming back, they
5:35
Speaker 2: want him back and all that. I mean, I'm just
5:38
Speaker 2: looking at market value.
5:39
Speaker 4: Here, that's the thing.
5:40
Speaker 2: So I mean annually, yeah, annual average salary Rashid shi
5:46
Speaker 2: Head right now pencils out at fourteen million according to spoetrack,
5:49
Speaker 2: And these of you guys are usually pretty accurate. Josh
5:52
Speaker 2: Jones backup tackle. I think you move on at three
5:56
Speaker 2: point five million. I mean, you'd love to have him.
5:59
Speaker 2: Wasn't healthy at all this season. When he was healthy,
6:01
Speaker 2: He's fine, Like a good replacement for cross and or
6:05
Speaker 2: Lucas if they get banged up.
6:06
Speaker 3: But I don't know.
6:07
Speaker 2: Do you pay him three and a half million again?
6:09
Speaker 2: Maybe you do that over two years, or do you
6:10
Speaker 2: go with Mason Richmond or one of the young guys
6:12
Speaker 2: who knows cable doo whoever? Boy mofe? What's he worth
6:17
Speaker 2: you to bring back eight million plus? Did he give
6:21
Speaker 2: you eight million dollars worth a production?
6:23
Speaker 3: Probably not.
6:25
Speaker 2: Derek Hall still has a contract left or a year
6:27
Speaker 2: left in his contract. So what do you do there?
6:29
Speaker 2: Ken Walker is the top of the list. And I
6:32
Speaker 2: say top of the list. Ken Walker's part of the
6:34
Speaker 2: top of the list because Ken Walker's coming off an
6:37
Speaker 2: MVP performance and you have Zach Charbonney hurt and you
6:41
Speaker 2: only have four draft picks. So is ken Walker a
6:44
Speaker 2: guy that's gonna be worth a franchise tag which is
6:46
Speaker 2: into eight figures? Can you get him on a longer
6:49
Speaker 2: term deal under ten million a year or maybe around
6:52
Speaker 2: ten million a year as opposed to with franchise tag,
6:53
Speaker 2: which I think that's penciling up to thirteen or fourteen.
6:56
Speaker 3: I think Walker's must bring back.
7:00
Speaker 2: We mentioned the two cornerbacks, Tarik Wollen Josh Job both
7:04
Speaker 2: of those guys are going to command somewhere in the eight, nine,
7:07
Speaker 2: ten million dollar range.
7:08
Speaker 3: You're not going to bring them both back.
7:09
Speaker 2: Probably when they talk the other day about how this
7:13
Speaker 2: is it and you got to enjoy it because things change.
7:16
Speaker 2: They being the players were right? Is Drek youngback special
7:21
Speaker 2: teams standout, hasn't done much in terms of receiving, but
7:24
Speaker 2: you bring him back. Jake Bobo's restricted free agent, You'll
7:28
Speaker 2: probably tender him a contract, right, That's probably what you
7:31
Speaker 2: do there. Drake Thomas restricted free agent, You'll bring him
7:34
Speaker 2: back and get him as an RFA. Brady Russell probably
7:38
Speaker 2: the same thing. So there's you know, Halani and Okada
7:42
Speaker 2: are basically restricted as well. There's a lot of these
7:45
Speaker 2: guys that are kind of the bit players that you
7:49
Speaker 2: look at and you say, what do you do with them?
7:51
Speaker 2: And here's the thing with with how it works, they've
7:54
Speaker 2: been down this road before. You have the great success
7:58
Speaker 2: and you have the situation where these guys are frankly
8:04
Speaker 2: probably earning and deserving of more money, Well, what do
8:07
Speaker 2: you do down the road with them? I look back
8:10
Speaker 2: when the Seahawks won the Super Bowl in twenty thirteen
8:13
Speaker 2: and they had a bunch of dudes. They had a
8:15
Speaker 2: bunch of dudes that were coming off contracts that ended
8:19
Speaker 2: up going somewhere else And I mean maybe basically the
8:23
Speaker 2: whole depth of their secondary went elsewhere.
8:25
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, and some of their offensive line. I remember
8:28
Speaker 6: I was set us about Brenno Jockamini.
8:30
Speaker 3: Yeah, we hated when Breno left.
8:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, Breno's We wanted Breno here, right, but they had
8:35
Speaker 2: They had so many guys from that season that ended
8:39
Speaker 2: up going elsewhere, and it's it's tough and you start losing,
8:43
Speaker 2: you know, Jaron Johnson and others like that. Byran Maxwell left. Remember, like,
8:50
Speaker 2: you start losing guys.
8:52
Speaker 4: You know, the fourth member of the lob.
8:54
Speaker 2: You start losing guys like that, and you're not as
8:56
Speaker 2: strong as you have been before.
8:58
Speaker 3: And I think that's what happened with Seattle.
9:00
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, that's what was very interesting to me. Obviously.
9:03
Speaker 6: Ernest Jones ran the mic yesterday to close out the ceremony.
9:08
Speaker 6: But I talked to him right afterwards after he won
9:11
Speaker 6: the Super Bowl in the locker room, and his prevailing
9:14
Speaker 6: emotion was that he was sad, Yeah, because it was over.
9:17
Speaker 6: That's how much this team loved this season and how
9:20
Speaker 6: much he was aware that it would never be the same.
9:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, and if you have that, I mean, listen, there's
9:25
Speaker 2: locker room sometimes that the season's over and you're like
9:28
Speaker 2: you can just tell these guys are like, oh, thank God,
9:31
Speaker 2: Like we don't have to deal with these guys anymore,
9:32
Speaker 2: We're out of here.
9:33
Speaker 5: What have you?
9:34
Speaker 2: I think that was the case in twenty twenty three
9:37
Speaker 2: and they ended up cleaning house. I mean that twenty
9:39
Speaker 2: twenty three season they cleaned house, including the head coach.
9:44
Speaker 2: But the priorities in this offseason will be interesting. You know,
9:48
Speaker 2: last year was Ernest Jones, before that it was Leonard Williams.
9:52
Speaker 2: Like they've had some priorities this year. I think priority
9:55
Speaker 2: number one is probably K nine, It has to be.
9:57
Speaker 2: And then who is of your UFA unrestricted guys? He's
10:01
Speaker 2: number one? Who is number two? Is it Wolan? Is
10:05
Speaker 2: it Kobe Bryant? Is it Josh Job? You keep Josh,
10:09
Speaker 2: you know, keep job jail going? What do you do?
10:11
Speaker 2: So we'll talk about that with the Corbyn Smith coming
10:14
Speaker 2: up in a minute later on today coming up at
10:19
Speaker 2: two o'clock, John Canzonalo, it's going to join us PAC
10:22
Speaker 2: twelve schedule is out.
10:25
Speaker 3: Nobody.
10:26
Speaker 2: Wilner and Canzono, those two guys cover West Coast college
10:29
Speaker 2: athletics football basketball specifically better than anybody, do a terrific job.
10:34
Speaker 2: They've been all over everything, including the new PAC twelve
10:37
Speaker 2: and the structure and everything else. I think Canzono likes us,
10:40
Speaker 2: likes the PAC twelve better than Wilner. I think Wilner
10:42
Speaker 2: is a hater, but that's okay. He's almost softy, so
10:43
Speaker 2: let him be a hater. But I like Canzono. We
10:48
Speaker 2: will talk about this. We got to Portland at the
10:51
Speaker 2: exact same time November of two thousand and two, and
10:54
Speaker 2: I met him, and he first started doing radio with me.
10:57
Speaker 2: Right before I came up here in the ear early
11:00
Speaker 2: spring of two thousand and six is when he first started.
11:03
Speaker 3: Now he's got his own thing.
11:04
Speaker 2: He was doing a little bit on the fan down
11:06
Speaker 2: there and those guys on show and doing great with
11:07
Speaker 2: his on a website. But I'm gonna talk to him.
11:10
Speaker 2: I'm curious about this flex schedule they've got going on. Basically,
11:14
Speaker 2: you've got eleven games schedule, then you have the final
11:16
Speaker 2: game is a flex game as flex schedule, Like what
11:18
Speaker 2: are we in the NFL? Well, but the NFL at
11:21
Speaker 2: least a flex, you're still playing the same team a night,
11:24
Speaker 2: but you might be playing it. You might be playing
11:26
Speaker 2: Sunday night football or Monday night football or Sunday afternoon football.
11:30
Speaker 2: That's what That's what I think of when a flex.
11:32
Speaker 2: I don't think of a flex as you don't know
11:33
Speaker 2: who the hell you're playing, and that's what this is.
11:35
Speaker 2: Does it make sense. We'll talk to him about that

12:54
Speaker 2: dot Com, Jim Elliott, Realatur, Hello Corbyn, how are you?
12:58
Speaker 3: I'm great, Ian, I'm good. I'm good.
13:01
Speaker 2: Kind of always a bittersweet time when the end of
13:04
Speaker 2: the football season comes, although when I guess when it
13:06
Speaker 2: doesn't come till the Super Bowl for your team that's
13:08
Speaker 2: a that you cover or you're a fan of, It's
13:10
Speaker 2: that's a good thing, right, Yeah.
13:13
Speaker 7: I mean I think generally speaking, you know, yeah, there's
13:17
Speaker 7: some bittersweet you know that the players have talked about
13:20
Speaker 7: it some too.
13:20
Speaker 5: Like this, this team as.
13:22
Speaker 7: Constructed is never going to play another practice together or
13:26
Speaker 7: anything like that.
13:27
Speaker 5: And so even when you win the.
13:28
Speaker 7: Super Bowl, there's still I mean, there's still some sadness
13:30
Speaker 7: in that perspective.
13:31
Speaker 5: But and you saw at the parade yesterday though.
13:34
Speaker 7: Generally though, it's a pretty exciting time in the Pacific Northwest.
13:38
Speaker 3: So let's let's wrap up. It's been a few days,
13:41
Speaker 3: but we'll do it anyway.
13:42
Speaker 2: Let's just wrap up the Super Bowl because I want
13:43
Speaker 2: to look ahead a lot more offensive coordinator, pending free agents,
13:46
Speaker 2: things like that. But just looking back at the Super Bowl,
13:50
Speaker 2: you've had a few days to digest it. Maybe you've
13:53
Speaker 2: thought different after the last few days. Maybe what you
13:55
Speaker 2: thought initially still holds true.
13:57
Speaker 7: What are your thoughts, Well, the thing that really stands
14:01
Speaker 7: out to me is that this was a game that
14:04
Speaker 7: showed that he tried in true formula of running the
14:08
Speaker 7: football well. Winning at the line of scrimmage and playing
14:13
Speaker 7: dominant defense is timeless. You know that that wins championships.
14:17
Speaker 7: It isn't just defense wins championships. It's being able to
14:20
Speaker 7: control the clock. It's not turning the football over which
14:24
Speaker 7: you know, it's remarkable that the Seahawks went the entire
14:27
Speaker 7: playoffs without a single turnover with the That was really
14:30
Speaker 7: the one issue that everybody had about this team coming
14:32
Speaker 7: to the playoffs. Are they going to be able to
14:34
Speaker 7: limit their mistakes, particularly Stamp Darnold turn the ball over
14:37
Speaker 7: and then they go out three straight games no turnovers,
14:39
Speaker 7: so that they did everything that football coaches preached, particularly
14:45
Speaker 7: in the NFL to win January and in this case
14:48
Speaker 7: of February football game.
14:50
Speaker 5: And they all twenty two just backed that up.
14:53
Speaker 7: And I look Ken Walker the third that was easily
14:56
Speaker 7: the best I have seen him play. That was the
14:59
Speaker 7: most pole that he's looked in the backfield, and he
15:04
Speaker 7: just looked fantastic. And then defensively Devin Witherspoon, who if
15:08
Speaker 7: I would have had a vote, that would have been
15:09
Speaker 7: my MVP. And that's not taking a job at K nine.
15:12
Speaker 7: Like I said, he played great, But I thought Devin
15:14
Speaker 7: Witherspoon was the tone center in this game on the
15:17
Speaker 7: two sides of the football.
15:18
Speaker 5: And you got to.
15:19
Speaker 7: See why there's guys Matt Locker room to think he
15:22
Speaker 7: can be a Hall of Famer. He's got that kind
15:24
Speaker 7: of talent. That was the best game I've seen him play,
15:27
Speaker 7: and I'm excited to see what Mike McDonald does with
15:29
Speaker 7: him next year because it feels like he's once again
15:32
Speaker 7: feeling maybe i'd be a little bit more aggressive sending
15:34
Speaker 7: this guy's a blitzer.
15:35
Speaker 5: It just creates so much havoc.
15:38
Speaker 2: He's good at it too, which is hard. I mean,
15:40
Speaker 2: you can send a lot of guys sometimes are good,
15:42
Speaker 2: sometimes they're not at it. I mean, I thought an
15:45
Speaker 2: unsung hero in that game. Not unsung because the stats
15:47
Speaker 2: were there, but just a guy that, you know, we
15:49
Speaker 2: all talked Witherspoon and Walker and stuff like that, But
15:54
Speaker 2: Derek Hall had two sacks in the regular season.
15:56
Speaker 3: He had two sacks in that game.
15:58
Speaker 2: And I know Will Campbell is Will Campbell and struggled
16:00
Speaker 2: and everything else, and that's a big story back Easton nationally.
16:03
Speaker 2: But Derek Hall, who has shown flashes of brilliance at
16:08
Speaker 2: times in his time in Seattle, also has been massively inconsistent. God,
16:14
Speaker 2: would it be nice if Mike McDonald could count on
16:16
Speaker 2: that Derek Hall, maybe not two sacks every game, but
16:18
Speaker 2: just that Derek Hall more often.
16:21
Speaker 7: Yeah, And I think his case, you know, I can
16:23
Speaker 7: say this comparing him and Boy Mafey this year. I
16:26
Speaker 7: thought Derek Hall, even without the sack numbers, there were
16:30
Speaker 7: so many games.
16:31
Speaker 5: Where you felt him.
16:33
Speaker 7: I can't say that about Boy Mafey. There were a
16:36
Speaker 7: lot of games where I felt like, is he in uniform?
16:38
Speaker 7: I don't see fifty three doing anything. Fifty eight was
16:41
Speaker 7: not that way.
16:42
Speaker 5: I thought.
16:43
Speaker 7: Derek and Mike McDonald talked about that a lot during
16:45
Speaker 7: the course of the season, and even you know, I
16:47
Speaker 7: asked him after the Super Bowl and his press conference
16:49
Speaker 7: about that, like, he's been so close on a number
16:52
Speaker 7: of sacks this year and it just didn't quite happen.
16:54
Speaker 7: He was so happy because this guy has been disruptive
16:58
Speaker 7: and we saw him get almost double digits the year before.
17:01
Speaker 7: So he's a guy that next year could go in
17:03
Speaker 7: last year's contract and go get your twelve sacks. Like
17:06
Speaker 7: he's got that kind of ability if he has a
17:08
Speaker 7: little better fortune. And I almost think it's kind of
17:11
Speaker 7: being a victim of all the talent around you.
17:13
Speaker 5: Too, all the guys they have that can push the pocket.
17:16
Speaker 7: In the interior and get stacks, all the guys on
17:18
Speaker 7: the outside that can do it, the blitzers like Devin Winterspoon,
17:22
Speaker 7: Nick even Warry Drake Thomas at three and a half
17:24
Speaker 7: of them this year. It can be a tough defense
17:27
Speaker 7: to tally large sack numbers just because of the way
17:30
Speaker 7: that they play and all the talent that they have.
17:32
Speaker 2: So Corbyn Smith joining us right now? All right, what
17:35
Speaker 2: can you tell us? You wrote about it? Go ahead
17:36
Speaker 2: and gives little teaser. What can you tell us about
17:38
Speaker 2: the offensive coordinator position? Because it looks like they're going
17:40
Speaker 2: to try to stay in house with Klint Kobiak's successor Yeah,
17:46
Speaker 2: I would be.
17:46
Speaker 7: Really surprised at this point Ian if they hire somebody
17:49
Speaker 7: from the outside, and I'm expecting they'll probably interview a
17:52
Speaker 7: few people from the outside. But Mike McDonald has preached
17:56
Speaker 7: continuity on the roster and now he's preaching it with
17:59
Speaker 7: the co coaching staff, and I think this is the
18:01
Speaker 7: best path to retain as many of your offensive coaches
18:04
Speaker 7: as you can because.
18:06
Speaker 5: There's a domino effect to it.
18:08
Speaker 7: If you have, say Andrew Jinoko, who's your quarterback coach,
18:12
Speaker 7: and he's been tied to Kubia's hips for the last
18:15
Speaker 7: several years. They've coached in three different teams together. But
18:18
Speaker 7: if you get Jenoko as your offensive coordinator. You know,
18:21
Speaker 7: he's gonna be looking for Tyson Prince probably to step
18:25
Speaker 7: up as the full time QUBB coach, and then you're
18:27
Speaker 7: gonna have a ripple effect there. Does that Does that
18:30
Speaker 7: make it that John Benton stage?
18:32
Speaker 5: Because he and Ginoko have worked together in multiple teams.
18:35
Speaker 7: There's a lot of things to consider there on that front,
18:39
Speaker 7: and each he could say some similar things about He's
18:43
Speaker 7: been here for the last two years, so you.
18:46
Speaker 5: Know, you have more continuity there.
18:47
Speaker 7: He's got LSU play calling experience on his resume for
18:51
Speaker 7: a year and certainly would be an interesting one to
18:54
Speaker 7: look at. And Matt Brown, that's the one I did
18:57
Speaker 7: not initially have on my list. But here's the fun
19:00
Speaker 7: fact for Ian, He's got the most play calling experience
19:04
Speaker 7: of any of the assistants on Seattle's roster when you're
19:06
Speaker 7: looking at college and NFL.
19:08
Speaker 5: He was a three year offensive coordinator at Missouri State.
19:11
Speaker 5: So he might be a.
19:13
Speaker 7: Dark horse here that we really need to watch closely
19:16
Speaker 7: in terms of getting this job, because he has called
19:20
Speaker 7: plays at you know, albeit at the FCS level when
19:23
Speaker 7: Missouri State was still there. He has called plays more
19:27
Speaker 7: than anybody on this current staff.
19:30
Speaker 5: And justin Alton.
19:31
Speaker 7: He's the one that's got the most NFL experience, albeit
19:33
Speaker 7: at two games, but the Broncos average almost four hundred
19:37
Speaker 7: yards of offense the two games that he coordinated at
19:39
Speaker 7: the end of the twenty twenty two season. And look
19:41
Speaker 7: what he did with the run game and the running
19:43
Speaker 7: backs this year when he took over for Kennedy Polamalu.
19:46
Speaker 7: You know you keep him and John Benton. You got
19:49
Speaker 7: all your run game stuff set up for this next
19:51
Speaker 7: year perfectly.
19:53
Speaker 2: What how important was Kubiak? Like, how how important do
19:57
Speaker 2: you think he was? And how how report placeable is
20:01
Speaker 2: he to maintain what you did last year?
20:04
Speaker 5: Yeah, look, you can't.
20:05
Speaker 7: You can't downplay the importance of Klack Kubiak because he
20:09
Speaker 7: is so well versed in that style offense and he
20:11
Speaker 7: has created his own He's got his own type of
20:15
Speaker 7: the Shanahan offense that he has developed now being an
20:18
Speaker 7: offensive coordinator in New Orleans, getting some opportunities to call
20:22
Speaker 7: plays earlier in his career in Minnesota and in Denver
20:25
Speaker 7: as well, he's been able to create his own version
20:28
Speaker 7: of that.
20:29
Speaker 5: So you're gonna have to have whoever your new offensive
20:32
Speaker 5: coordinator is.
20:33
Speaker 7: You're not gonna be expecting that they're gonna be running
20:35
Speaker 7: the same exact offense. They are gonna be their own
20:38
Speaker 7: intricacies to it, their own little wrinkles justin out and
20:41
Speaker 7: maybe would be the closest thing you had because he's
20:43
Speaker 7: been with Kubiak before and those guys have ran similar offenses.
20:46
Speaker 5: But I think that you can't downplay it.
20:50
Speaker 7: I do think that it is a situation that you
20:53
Speaker 7: have a lot of really good coaches on your staff,
20:55
Speaker 7: though this is an opportunity to be able to elevate
20:58
Speaker 7: one of those guys that's earned this opportunity, and I
21:01
Speaker 7: think you can run a very similar offense next year
21:05
Speaker 7: with a lot of your players coming back, and I
21:08
Speaker 7: think you can be a really good shape. They just
21:10
Speaker 7: have to make sure that they hire the right assistant here,
21:13
Speaker 7: who is the one that is ready for this step
21:15
Speaker 7: to be the play caller.
21:16
Speaker 5: That's what they got to figure out here in the
21:18
Speaker 5: next few days.
21:19
Speaker 2: Corn Smith, Emeralcy Spectrum joining us. How important is Benton
21:23
Speaker 2: to this organization, to the offensive line and what he
21:27
Speaker 2: was able to do.
21:28
Speaker 5: I think John.
21:29
Speaker 7: Benton is more important than Quinck Kubiak in this case,
21:32
Speaker 7: because I don't I don't think they have an in
21:35
Speaker 7: house replacement. I mean, maybe just an out and can
21:38
Speaker 7: handled that. But I think Justin Outen's going to be
21:40
Speaker 7: in the mix for the Raiders offensive coordinator dub if
21:43
Speaker 7: he's not the offensive coordinator in Seattle.
21:45
Speaker 5: So you can end up losing both those guys. Now.
21:48
Speaker 7: I talk to John Benton leading up to the Super
21:51
Speaker 7: Bowl and he this is just my viewpoint on it
21:55
Speaker 7: from talking to him, and I know coaches say things
21:57
Speaker 7: all the time and then turn around and do something else.
22:00
Speaker 5: John Benton doesn't strike me as somebody that would do that.
22:02
Speaker 5: He seems like he's a straight shooter. He just kept
22:06
Speaker 5: read or any how.
22:06
Speaker 7: Excited he was about the continuity of the Seahawks had
22:09
Speaker 7: on the offensive line, and all they all five starters
22:11
Speaker 7: are under contract next year.
22:13
Speaker 5: Four of them are under contract for the next three years.
22:16
Speaker 5: So why would you leave that?
22:19
Speaker 7: I just everything that I combed through, you know, he
22:23
Speaker 7: leaves with him seems like, yeah, I want to be here.
22:25
Speaker 5: So we'll see.
22:26
Speaker 7: Maybe Quin Kobiak talks him into coaching that reclamation project
22:30
Speaker 7: down in Vegas.
22:31
Speaker 5: But uh, I just have a feeling Beton's gonna be back.
22:34
Speaker 2: I really do, all right, Correy let me get to
22:37
Speaker 2: uh to some of the names because there's always change.
22:40
Speaker 2: Everyone talks about it. Guys are talking about it, you know, hey,
22:43
Speaker 2: like we know this locker room won't be the same
22:45
Speaker 2: next year, and it won't be along the way. I'm
22:48
Speaker 2: gonna read off the UFAs and I'm gonna ask you
22:51
Speaker 2: a question at the end. But Darek Young, Tarik Wollan, Cody,
22:53
Speaker 2: Kobe Bryant, Chaserrott, Josh job, Ken Walker Boy Mafe, Josh Jones,
22:59
Speaker 2: ra shed she He those are the unrestricted free agents.
23:03
Speaker 2: Give me one, two, and three in terms of your priorities.
23:07
Speaker 7: Well, this has changed some since the middle of the
23:10
Speaker 7: regular season.
23:11
Speaker 5: I've got Canine at number one on my list.
23:13
Speaker 7: I just I see a guy that just this light
23:17
Speaker 7: switch came on the last month and a half. And
23:18
Speaker 7: I don't think it's just because free agency was coming up.
23:21
Speaker 7: I think he just got a lot more comfortable with
23:24
Speaker 7: this style offense. He really found his gridded. The Seahawks
23:28
Speaker 7: figured out how to maximize him. He's only twenty five
23:31
Speaker 7: years old. And to look at the teams that are
23:33
Speaker 7: having success with second contracts with good running backs, it
23:36
Speaker 7: is much higher a higher rate than what I think
23:39
Speaker 7: a lot of the people are saying narrative wise, I
23:42
Speaker 7: think ken Walker the third is the most important, especially
23:44
Speaker 7: with Zach Sharbone probably missing it.
23:46
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna ask you that how much is that factor?
23:48
Speaker 5: And do you think that that is a big part
23:51
Speaker 5: of it? Yeah, I don't think you want to go
23:52
Speaker 5: into next year.
23:53
Speaker 7: I like George Hallane, but you don't want to go
23:55
Speaker 7: in the next year with George Hallane and Kenny McIntosh
23:58
Speaker 7: coming off his own ACL top two running backs.
24:01
Speaker 5: So and I just think he's I think ken Walker
24:03
Speaker 5: is a locker room glue guy. I think the way
24:05
Speaker 5: that he plays, he's not a vocal guy. The way
24:08
Speaker 5: he plays, though, these teammates really respond to him.
24:13
Speaker 7: So I think Canine is number one on that list
24:17
Speaker 7: and then number two.
24:18
Speaker 5: I would have received sha heat on there.
24:20
Speaker 7: And I know that Quint Kubiak in Vegas, the I
24:23
Speaker 7: mean the Raiders are desperate for receiving help. They probably
24:26
Speaker 7: will throw a ton of money at him, and I
24:28
Speaker 7: don't think the Seahawks would probably match that in that instance.
24:31
Speaker 7: But he really loved his time in Seattle and they're
24:34
Speaker 7: still coaches that he's familiar with. Their on his staff
24:38
Speaker 7: I think the chance to continue going for titles in
24:40
Speaker 7: Seattle is going to be a lure there, and his
24:43
Speaker 7: special team's ability justifies paying you more money from Seattle's perspective.
24:47
Speaker 7: So I'd have those two as my top two, and
24:50
Speaker 7: then I have Josh Jones at number three because I
24:53
Speaker 7: think not only does he give you a really really
24:55
Speaker 7: good swing tackle, but maybe he ain't Anthony Bradford eat
25:00
Speaker 7: it right guard next year and he gets an opportunity there.
25:03
Speaker 7: So I just think Josh Jones was fantastic at the
25:07
Speaker 7: end of the year replacing Charles Cross, and I'd have
25:09
Speaker 7: him there. I feel confident that Seattle can do something
25:13
Speaker 7: replaced in Kobe Bryant and certainly with Boy Mafe. I
25:16
Speaker 7: think Kayakata has shown he can be a starter at
25:19
Speaker 7: the NFL. He's under contract for an affordable deal, and
25:23
Speaker 7: with Boy Mafe, you can go see a free agency.
25:26
Speaker 7: There's anybody out there, I mean, if he's available in
25:28
Speaker 7: a cheap contract to bring him back. But the numbers
25:31
Speaker 7: in the film were quite underwhelming this year.
25:34
Speaker 2: What do you do with do you bring back one,
25:38
Speaker 2: two or none of Wolan and Job?
25:43
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, I didn't mention Wolan in there that
25:45
Speaker 7: should have been one that I should have had Wolan
25:47
Speaker 7: in there as well, But that one's tricky, just because
25:51
Speaker 7: if he's gonna be on the free agent market, there
25:53
Speaker 7: are gonna be teams throwing a lot of money at him,
25:56
Speaker 7: and I just don't think Seattle is going to be
25:59
Speaker 7: backing up truck for him. I just don't think they're
26:02
Speaker 7: going to. I think they'd like to bring him back
26:04
Speaker 7: at the right price, but this feels kind of like
26:07
Speaker 7: when Shaquille Griffin left originally to Jacksonville, Like somebody throws
26:11
Speaker 7: a lot of money at him, I just don't know
26:12
Speaker 7: that Seattle is going to match that. I think they'd
26:15
Speaker 7: rather pay Josh Job a mid level contract. A guy
26:18
Speaker 7: doesn't obviously have the athletic traits, but he's a more
26:21
Speaker 7: consistent player and does all the technical stuff that Mike
26:25
Speaker 7: McDonald wants, So that's gonna be fascinating. Teams have not
26:28
Speaker 7: been throwing as much money at corners the last few
26:31
Speaker 7: years in free agency. That could work in Seattle's favor
26:34
Speaker 7: re signing Rek Wolland, but he's also just got such
26:37
Speaker 7: rare tools that I'll be surprised if there are not
26:40
Speaker 7: several teams that are really shelling out a bunch of
26:42
Speaker 7: cash trying to get him, and I just don't know
26:44
Speaker 7: the Seattle's going to match.
26:45
Speaker 3: That with him.
26:45
Speaker 2: No, I mean to be Rek walland screams a little
26:47
Speaker 2: bit Byron Maxwell, you know, like like it's you know
26:51
Speaker 2: when MAXI left here, he was you know, he wasn't
26:53
Speaker 2: the best corner. That was shirhim obviously, much like Witherspoon
26:57
Speaker 2: is the best corner on this team right now. But
27:00
Speaker 2: you're the number two corner for that kind of defense,
27:02
Speaker 2: You're gonna get a lot of attention, right, I mean,
27:04
Speaker 2: hell yea backup safeties did Chris Mericos, right, I mean,
27:08
Speaker 2: you know and Johnson, John Johnson, those types of guys.
27:11
Speaker 2: So I got to think that that's going to be
27:13
Speaker 2: a pricing I don't. I guess my point would be,
27:16
Speaker 2: I think you have to have one of the one
27:18
Speaker 2: of the two. I don't think he can go go in.
27:20
Speaker 7: That's why I'm arguing. I'm arguing job makes the most
27:24
Speaker 7: sense looking from a cost standpoint, and and honestly, I
27:28
Speaker 7: mean they were kind of rotating those guys as starters
27:32
Speaker 7: this year.
27:32
Speaker 5: I mean, Joe started a lot more games than what
27:34
Speaker 5: Wolan did.
27:35
Speaker 7: That just kind of tells me, you know, if the
27:38
Speaker 7: price is right, they could bring both guys back.
27:41
Speaker 2: But I I just I.
27:43
Speaker 7: Find it hard to believe there's not going to be
27:44
Speaker 7: teams just throwing a bunch of money at Riek Woolan.
27:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I go back, you know the Rashichi heat thing.
27:50
Speaker 2: I'll let's use the comparison again with him. I mean
27:53
Speaker 2: that that to me is also rashichi heats a little bit,
27:56
Speaker 2: maybe like a Leonard Williams right, Ernest Jones, you know,
28:00
Speaker 2: in season trade type of guy. And you do that
28:03
Speaker 2: with the thought process that we're going to trade in season,
28:06
Speaker 2: We're gonna give up some capital, but we're going to
28:08
Speaker 2: resign this guy like we're not doing. This is not
28:11
Speaker 2: a rental situation. Rashid Chiheed. I think I would put
28:14
Speaker 2: in the in the Jones and uh and big Cat
28:17
Speaker 2: category of we we didn't buy you to We didn't
28:19
Speaker 2: bring you here to be a rental. We brought you
28:21
Speaker 2: here to bring you back the next year's.
28:24
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think he's your number two receiver. I mean,
28:27
Speaker 7: Cooper Cupp is still a very good player. We saw
28:29
Speaker 7: that in the playoffs, and I actually can see Cuff
28:32
Speaker 7: having a better year next year statistics wise, because it
28:35
Speaker 7: seemed like he and Sam really late in the year
28:38
Speaker 7: to the playoffs, they really started to really click. But
28:41
Speaker 7: he's getting to be an older player. You know, Racheecha
28:44
Speaker 7: Heat is going to be your number two guy. I
28:46
Speaker 7: expect another offseason with Sam Darnold. Those two are gonna
28:48
Speaker 7: be much more efficient with their opportunities on offense. So yeah,
28:52
Speaker 7: I think the idea he's following Kobyak could have happened, absolutely,
28:56
Speaker 7: But I think John Schneider has shown with those trades
28:59
Speaker 7: and pass that hey, I didn't bring it. If you
29:02
Speaker 7: earned a championship for US and you played a high
29:04
Speaker 7: level like, we're gonna bring you back. Yeah, and you're
29:06
Speaker 7: not gonna be a rental. So I my prediction is
29:09
Speaker 7: he's back in the Seahawks uniform right now.
29:11
Speaker 8: Yeah.
29:11
Speaker 2: I mean, it's gonna be an interesting offseason for a
29:14
Speaker 2: lot of reasons. And of course right now as it stands,
29:16
Speaker 2: I know this drives your buddy Rob rang We're gonna
29:18
Speaker 2: wrap up our year with him tomorrow probably, But I
29:20
Speaker 2: know it drives like guys like Ran crazy because they
29:23
Speaker 2: only have four draft picks right now.
29:24
Speaker 3: I also know John Schneiders we all do that.
29:26
Speaker 2: It's not a great draft, so maybe it stays at four,
29:29
Speaker 2: but I have a feeling he'll find a way to
29:30
Speaker 2: get a couple of those back along the way somehow, too, right.
29:34
Speaker 7: Yeah, absolutely, I'm I mean, trading down in the first
29:37
Speaker 7: round from pick thirty two seems like the most obvious
29:40
Speaker 7: thing that he can do, although the past track record
29:43
Speaker 7: of doing that, maybe he's decides I'd rather just take
29:46
Speaker 7: four picks and just see if i can get my
29:48
Speaker 7: best player available there. But this is not a very
29:51
Speaker 7: deep draft. I think you're probably not looking at a
29:54
Speaker 7: guy that's gonna be a obvious or anywhere close to
29:57
Speaker 7: obvious first round talent that's gonna be available at that stage.
30:00
Speaker 7: So that's where I could see him getting creative, trying
30:02
Speaker 7: to recoup some picks and finding a way to get
30:05
Speaker 7: to like six maybe seven selections by the time they're done.
30:08
Speaker 7: I don't see them moving any players to get draft
30:11
Speaker 7: picks this year like they did last season.
30:14
Speaker 5: First off, they don't need the cap space.
30:15
Speaker 7: They've got sixty two million in effective cap space right now,
30:18
Speaker 7: so it's a lot.
30:19
Speaker 5: Different situation than a year ago.
30:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no doubt about that, all right, last regularly
30:24
Speaker 2: scheduled visits. Doesn't mean we won't call you, doesn't mean

34:20
Speaker 2: Spain a moment ago. Let me reiterate this quarterfinals. First
34:24
Speaker 2: two of the four quarterfinals of Women's Olympic hockey take
34:27
Speaker 2: place from Mars, Sweden, and check youah is the first game,
34:30
Speaker 2: and then US and Italy tomorrow. I'll just tell you
34:34
Speaker 2: that wake me up when we get to the gold
34:36
Speaker 2: medal game. Because the US is rolling. They've outscored the
34:39
Speaker 2: up and they're just dominating in the perimeter rounds. They
34:42
Speaker 2: outscored the opposition twenty to one, twenty to one. They
34:46
Speaker 2: had shutouts in the final three games. They gave up
34:48
Speaker 2: a goal in the first game and shout everybody else
34:49
Speaker 2: out after that. They are an absolute wagon. Canada looked
34:53
Speaker 2: better today getting a win, but to move to the quarterfinals.
34:57
Speaker 2: But I just they're just crazy good of course, led
35:02
Speaker 2: by the captain Hillary Night. Who's remember the sattle torrent
35:04
Speaker 2: here in our market. Okay, let's get to the men's
35:07
Speaker 2: side underway yesterday. But the kind of main events are today?
35:11
Speaker 2: First game this morning, Sweden over France four to nothing,
35:15
Speaker 2: but Canada over check you at five nothing, and I'm
35:18
Speaker 2: just gonna tell you this, never again should we have
35:20
Speaker 2: Olympic hockey without the NHL players just cannot happen. Yeah,
35:25
Speaker 2: it ends up being a five nothing Canada winter checkie
35:27
Speaker 2: at that first period was unreal, and Canada scores a
35:31
Speaker 2: couple of seconds left. Macklin celebrity. The kid scores with
35:34
Speaker 2: just a few seconds left in the period on its deflection,
35:37
Speaker 2: and Canada got four more after that. But Jackie had
35:40
Speaker 2: played with him in the first period and the speed
35:41
Speaker 2: was unbelievable. I wouldn't say the same for the US game.
35:46
Speaker 2: They lead Latvia Lafia at four to one after forty
35:49
Speaker 2: minutes of play, tied at one after one, US gets
35:51
Speaker 2: three goals in the second period. They lead for to
35:54
Speaker 2: one heading into the third. Right now, Team USA really good.
35:58
Speaker 2: They're outclassing Lotfield or now. Elvis merz Leakns is the
36:03
Speaker 2: goaltender for Lafia. He's kind of keeping him in the game,
36:06
Speaker 2: sort of, I say, sort of. I's give it up
36:08
Speaker 2: four already. US looks really good. They look really good.
36:13
Speaker 2: Lafia doesn't have a ton of doesn't have a ton
36:16
Speaker 2: of guys from the NHL on their roster.
36:18
Speaker 3: Okay, the other game that's of interest is this.
36:21
Speaker 2: I love this.
36:22
Speaker 3: This is kind of cool. I think it's a cool
36:23
Speaker 3: little deal. And I'm not sure.
36:25
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if Gruby would consider this cool or not,
36:27
Speaker 2: but we'll go with it anyway. It is Germany. Germany
36:33
Speaker 2: leads Denmark three to one. They're through forty minutes of
36:36
Speaker 2: that game as well. Leon dry Sidel has a goal.
36:41
Speaker 2: Tim Stutsla has two goals for Germany. They're actually not
36:43
Speaker 2: a bad hockey team. They got some dudes. Oscar Fisker
36:46
Speaker 2: Mulegard scored to tie the game at one for Denmark.
36:49
Speaker 2: He is the kid playing in Coachella Valley who's been
36:52
Speaker 2: called up a couple times by the crack in the season,
36:54
Speaker 2: a former second round pick by the Kraken, young guy
36:57
Speaker 2: like twenty twenty one maybe at the most maybe in
36:59
Speaker 2: young and that I think he's twenty twenty one anyway,
37:01
Speaker 2: Oscar Fisker Molgard has scored a goal against the Germans
37:05
Speaker 2: and goaltender Philip Grubauer. Yeah, Fisker Molgard is twenty years old,
37:11
Speaker 2: so cracking on cracking crime. But Gruby's been good since
37:16
Speaker 2: has only allowed that one goal, so.
37:18
Speaker 4: Well, I mean it's a win lose in any situation.
37:20
Speaker 2: Right Yeah. And then yesterday we had Ellie Tolvin and
37:22
Speaker 2: scoring the only goal for Finland, so Ellie. So two
37:26
Speaker 2: kracking goal scorers so far in the Olympics.
37:28
Speaker 6: I just love how they're everywhere, yes, and that we
37:31
Speaker 6: have them here during the regular season.
37:33
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna I'm sure there's others for the torrent
37:35
Speaker 2: that have scored. My apologies, but I know Hillary's on
37:37
Speaker 2: the scoreboard, so yeah, a lot good representation by Seattle
37:40
Speaker 2: hockey here in the Olympics so far. So but yeah,
37:43
Speaker 2: good for Oscar Fisker. He's a skilled player, man. He's
37:45
Speaker 2: going to be up here long term, sooner than later.
37:47
Speaker 4: So I'm excited to see him full time.
37:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to see Gruby just have a solid
37:51
Speaker 2: tournament because he goes into this tournament playing great and
37:56
Speaker 2: Seattle needs him the final twenty six games of the season.
37:59
Speaker 2: Joey had hasn't been what we expect from Joey all year.
38:03
Speaker 4: He hasn't been consider had a resurgence.
38:06
Speaker 2: Gruby has been great, but they need Gruby in the
38:07
Speaker 2: final twenty six. So I don't I don't want the
38:09
Speaker 2: Olympics to take anything away from what he's done. I
38:12
Speaker 2: don't want him to lose any confidence I need. They
38:14
Speaker 2: need him to be first two thirds of the season, Grubauer.
38:18
Speaker 2: And if so, this is a team that will be
38:19
Speaker 2: in the playoffs this year. We'll just continue this great
38:21
Speaker 2: run of Seattle sports, from the Mariners to the Seahawks
38:25
Speaker 2: to the Kraken and the way you and I are
38:27
Speaker 2: good luck. I hope so. MJ says he's the guy
38:30
Speaker 2: that's good luck. But you know, you guys, tell me
38:32
Speaker 2: four J the good Is he the good luck charm?
38:35
Speaker 3: Or is it us? I don't know. You tell me
38:36
Speaker 3: four one four five one. Okay, here what we got
38:38
Speaker 3: coming up?

38:42
Speaker 2: they're talking about free agency.
38:43
Speaker 3: What you think?
38:44
Speaker 2: Who are the priorities? He says ken Walker number one
38:47
Speaker 2: doesn't really feel like Kobe Bryant or Tarique Wollen, maybe
38:52

38:57
Speaker 2: often injured this year. I don't know anyway, you're thoughts

41:27
Speaker 2: reminiscing off the air before we came into the segment
41:29
Speaker 2: that you and I ran into each other and got
41:32
Speaker 2: to Portland at the same time, Fall of two thousand
41:35
Speaker 2: and two. Where has the time gone? John? Our kids
41:37
Speaker 2: are growing? What's going on?
41:38
Speaker 9: And I feel like I'm playing Candyland or Shoots and
41:41
Speaker 9: Ladders and I'm back at the start point because I'm
41:44
Speaker 9: still in Portland and and you're gone. So I've just
41:47
Speaker 9: come back to the beginning over and over in this
41:50
Speaker 9: board game.
41:50
Speaker 2: I've been here this It'll be twenty years in the
41:52
Speaker 2: fall that I've been in Seattle, and it felt like,
41:54
Speaker 2: doesn't feel that that long ago that we were talking
41:57
Speaker 2: about the jail Blazers Yellowhummers getting pulled over and she
42:00
Speaker 2: as you know, Reuben Boomshae Boomshay getting hit in the
42:03
Speaker 2: head with Herasheed Wallace.
42:04
Speaker 3: I miss those days.
42:05
Speaker 2: I miss Maybe we'll get the NBA back here soon
42:07
Speaker 2: and we can really Is the NBA still fun like that?
42:09
Speaker 3: John?
42:10
Speaker 2: I don't know.
42:10
Speaker 10: Yeah, it is the access issue.
42:12
Speaker 9: And you remember you could walk in and you could
42:14
Speaker 9: talk to the players, and everything is about controlled access now,
42:17
Speaker 9: and I think your listeners know that, like, and what
42:20
Speaker 9: makes you good and what makes the station you're working
42:22
Speaker 9: out good is that you get behind the scenes and
42:24
Speaker 9: you take people with you.
42:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's a different world, man, It is a
42:27
Speaker 3: different world.
42:28
Speaker 2: We got John with us. Listen, nobody covers this the
42:32
Speaker 2: I would just say college football on the West Coast,
42:34
Speaker 2: like you and your buddy John Wilner who's always softy
42:37
Speaker 2: every week and Johncanzano dot com. And you've been kind
42:40
Speaker 2: of teasing it. It came out yesterday the new PAC
42:42
Speaker 2: twelve schedule, and I say West Coast football because before
42:45
Speaker 2: I get into that, for you, a guy that when
42:48
Speaker 2: you got.
42:48
Speaker 3: As soon as you got there, you'd already cut. You
42:50
Speaker 3: were a West Coast guy already.
42:51
Speaker 2: But when you got to Portland, you just immersed yourself
42:53
Speaker 2: in the conference Oregon Oregon State, and you know it
42:57
Speaker 2: was a ballotti I believe at the time that we
42:59
Speaker 2: had down there and everything else. Think Hurricane Dennis was
43:01
Speaker 2: wrapping up and Riley was coming in and you always
43:04
Speaker 2: a Pack twelve guy. And then obviously you know what
43:06
Speaker 2: happened a few years ago. How challenging is it for
43:09
Speaker 2: you and the other John as well now to cover
43:12
Speaker 2: both of the It's we have a new PAC twelve
43:14
Speaker 2: and you still have West Coast football with a big
43:17
Speaker 2: ten tie to and everything else. How challenging is that
43:19
Speaker 2: it's we're like.
43:20
Speaker 9: In season twelve of Like Lost Right, and so it's
43:24
Speaker 9: to me, it feels like I just had to draw
43:26
Speaker 9: a line somewhere around the Rockies and just go everything
43:29
Speaker 9: to the left of this I'm gonna care about. And
43:31
Speaker 9: even if the schools are crossing that line to go
43:33
Speaker 9: play games, you know, I care about the schools that
43:35
Speaker 9: are crossing that line. I think it's more compelling than ever.
43:38
Speaker 9: I think it's more interesting than ever. I think there's
43:40
Speaker 9: more Game of Thrones. There's more going on behind the
43:42
Speaker 9: scenes than ever. Some of it has to do with football,
43:45
Speaker 9: but most of this has to do with everybody playing chess,
43:48
Speaker 9: trying to figure out what's going to happen next. How
43:50
Speaker 9: do you get well positioned? Is your quarterback in the
43:52
Speaker 9: portal or isn't he in the portal? I mean, there's
43:54
Speaker 9: just there's so many tentacles to this that never existed before.
43:58
Speaker 9: But I covered Jerry Tarkanian, I covered Bobby Knight. I
44:01
Speaker 9: know what it's like to cover away from the court
44:03
Speaker 9: stuff and this, you know, I feel like I'm just
44:07
Speaker 9: just a continuation of it. But there is more interest
44:09
Speaker 9: in it from a survival standpoint, and the PAC twelve
44:12
Speaker 9: is a great example. We get to the schedule, like
44:14
Speaker 9: when they released their schedule yesterday at six thirty. They
44:17
Speaker 9: go after dark, right, and so they just big after
44:19
Speaker 9: dark thing.
44:20
Speaker 10: They lean into it.
44:21
Speaker 9: I actually think it was like it wasn't just a
44:23
Speaker 9: schedule release. I thought about Washington State. I thought about
44:26
Speaker 9: Oregon State. I thought about all the times that people
44:29
Speaker 9: said they should just go away, they should quit, they
44:31
Speaker 9: should give up, they shouldn't fight.
44:32
Speaker 10: They just join the Mountain West. Just go away, there's
44:35
Speaker 10: nothing here for you. They said no.
44:37
Speaker 9: They went to court Judge Gary Liby. They find the folks,
44:40
Speaker 9: he judge, They win the settlement. They lived to fight
44:43
Speaker 9: another day. They add Gonzaga, they get the five schools
44:45
Speaker 9: from the Mountain West, they add Texas State. Then now
44:48
Speaker 9: they're hiring, and now they release a schedule. Like for them,
44:52
Speaker 9: this has to feel pretty good. It's like the Titanic
44:55
Speaker 9: didn't sink and Teresa Gold's at the controls all of
44:58
Speaker 9: a sudden.
44:59
Speaker 2: John with and John Canzono joining us. John Canzono dot com,
45:03
Speaker 2: you mentioned something that I just caught my attention. I
45:05
Speaker 2: want to I want to just before I get to
45:06
Speaker 2: the schedule, get back to it, because I still see
45:09
Speaker 2: it's interesting. I see some acrimony out there between former
45:13
Speaker 2: mount well basically from current Mountain West people, whether it
45:17
Speaker 2: be media fans combination thereof of the schools that were
45:21
Speaker 2: kind of left behind in the Mountain West. And then
45:24
Speaker 2: you know people that are supporters of Oregon State or
45:26
Speaker 2: Washington State specifically saying, God, I can't believe you guys
45:30
Speaker 2: did this. You're just stupid, and you know, why would you?
45:32
Speaker 2: Why did you detek part our conference? And things like that,
45:34
Speaker 2: And I'm thinking, well, you said it, it's a battle
45:37
Speaker 2: of survival, is it not. In Washington State and Oregon
45:39
Speaker 2: State had a way to survive, and they somehow found
45:43
Speaker 2: a way to get Utah State, Fresno State, Boise State,
45:46
Speaker 2: San Diego State, Colorado State, and as you mentioned, the
45:49
Speaker 2: big one Gonzaga for basketball into their conference.
45:52
Speaker 3: The heavy lifting that was done. Did it pay off?
45:55
Speaker 2: As we look at it a schedule now, did it
45:57
Speaker 2: pay off?
45:58
Speaker 3: I think it did.
45:59
Speaker 9: And I also think that there's an understanding of the
46:01
Speaker 9: you know, throughout this era of college football, it's just
46:04
Speaker 9: trickled down the food chain, and the Mountain West is
46:06
Speaker 9: experiencing a fraction of what the two PAC twelve holdover
46:10
Speaker 9: schools went through. And Gloria Navarre is the Mountain West Comissioner.
46:13
Speaker 9: In a lot of ways, I think was prepared for
46:16
Speaker 9: what came next because she watched it happened to the
46:18
Speaker 9: PAC twelve, and so she said, Okay, I can't let
46:20
Speaker 9: it get down to two schools. I can't let them
46:22
Speaker 9: have UNLV and air Force. I have to do everything
46:24
Speaker 9: I could possibly do to keep these schools in the fold.
46:26
Speaker 10: And did that. But I think, look, it's not the
46:29
Speaker 10: old PAC twelve. The LA schools aren't there.
46:31
Speaker 9: There's no Stanford, there's no cow or Goon to Washington
46:34
Speaker 9: are gone, you know, Arizona schools are gone.
46:36
Speaker 10: There's no Colorado in Utah. So this is a new conference.
46:40
Speaker 10: But in a weird way, this is a conference.
46:42
Speaker 9: It reminds me a little bit like of David Goggins,
46:45
Speaker 9: the Navy seal guy who you see on social media.
46:47
Speaker 2: It's like, you know, just like he's.
46:48
Speaker 10: Doing burpies and he's yelling like I can't be killed.
46:51
Speaker 10: I'm a cockroach. Like this is the PAC twelve.
46:53
Speaker 9: And so I think you look at this conference and
46:56
Speaker 9: you go, hey, in the next four or five years.
46:58
Speaker 9: Could this conference lean all the way into the PAC
47:01
Speaker 9: twelve after dark, this flex scheduling thing that's kind of
47:03
Speaker 9: wild and different. Could they lean into sort of that
47:06
Speaker 9: identity and become this outlier conference that maybe punches above
47:11
Speaker 9: its weight and gets into the playoff three times in
47:13
Speaker 9: the next five years. It has that feel to me,
47:16
Speaker 9: and I think you have to consider that a victory
47:18
Speaker 9: if this conference gets it done on the field.
47:21
Speaker 2: Well, let's talk about on the field. The schedule comes out.
47:23
Speaker 2: I'm looking at Washington States right now, and I think
47:27
Speaker 2: the big thing. It's a schedule, right except for one thing,
47:30
Speaker 2: and you had been reporting this for a while. The
47:31
Speaker 2: one thing is the flex game. So as Wazoo opens
47:36
Speaker 2: up with the Apple Cup makes me sick to my stomach.
47:38
Speaker 3: Whatever.
47:38
Speaker 2: Then they go to Kansas stated Caine at home, Arizona,
47:42
Speaker 2: Fresno State at home at Utah State at Oregon State,
47:44
Speaker 2: Boise State at San Diego State, Bye Week, Colorado State
47:48
Speaker 2: at Texas State, and November twenty first, the first ever
47:51
Speaker 2: matchup with those teams. But then John November twenty eighth,
47:55
Speaker 2: the final week of the season. I guess that would
47:57
Speaker 2: be week thirteen of a twelve week schedule. They have
48:01
Speaker 2: flex projected matchup versus Oregon State at Giza Field, but
48:06
Speaker 2: that is not written into stone.
48:08
Speaker 9: What's going on here, So essentially everything will be decided
48:13
Speaker 9: in week twelve, a week earlier, so you're going to
48:15
Speaker 9: have the conference championship matchups set. After week twelve finishes,
48:20
Speaker 9: everyone will have played round robin. Everyone will have played everyone.
48:23
Speaker 9: By the way, this true round robin schedule. This doesn't
48:26
Speaker 9: exist in the Big Ten of the SEC or anywhere
48:28
Speaker 9: else because they've got too many teams.
48:30
Speaker 10: So you can do this, everybody plays everybody.
48:32
Speaker 9: You're gonna know who the best two teams are, and
48:34
Speaker 9: you'll be able to set your conference championship game after
48:37
Speaker 9: week twelve. Week thirteen then gives you this option where
48:40
Speaker 9: you have these tentative matchups set up, but the PAC
48:43
Speaker 9: twelve is reserving the right to go, Hey, wait a minute,
48:45
Speaker 9: we've looked at the CFP rankings. We don't like these matchups.
48:48
Speaker 9: We want to get our best team in the playoff.
48:50
Speaker 9: Here's where we're going to tweak. And they can send
48:53
Speaker 9: one of the four visiting teams to a different location.
48:56
Speaker 9: They can flex those games and change the matchups. They
48:58
Speaker 9: can also try to Let's say, for example, because right
49:01
Speaker 9: now Boise State is supposed to go to Utah State
49:04
Speaker 9: in week thirteen, they can also say, wait a minute,
49:07
Speaker 9: that's the conference championship game. They're gonna be playing each
49:09
Speaker 9: other in a week. We don't want to repeat that.
49:11
Speaker 9: We don't want that redundancy. And you know, for people
49:14
Speaker 9: who are out there going, well, wait a minute, you
49:15
Speaker 9: have a redundancy anyway, because you have these teams, they
49:17
Speaker 9: are gonna play more than once. Look at the Seahawks,
49:19
Speaker 9: for crying out loud. Seahawks played the Rams twice in
49:22
Speaker 9: the regular season, got him in the postseason, nine Ers
49:24
Speaker 9: twice in the regular season, got him in the postseason.
49:27
Speaker 9: We don't care in the NFL, but for some reason,
49:29
Speaker 9: we're stuck on these old mindsets and models. I kind
49:32
Speaker 9: of think the rest of the group of six conferences
49:34
Speaker 9: are kicking themselves, going.
49:35
Speaker 10: Why don't we think of that? Because we can do that,
49:38
Speaker 10: and I think it'll be really tempting.
49:40
Speaker 9: Here's the here's the wild card, you guys tell me, like,
49:43
Speaker 9: let's say that the PAC twelve gets to Week twelve,
49:46
Speaker 9: they know who the conference championship game matchup is.
49:49
Speaker 10: The CFP rankings are coming out that Tuesday.
49:51
Speaker 9: They're supposed to set this matchup six days before for
49:55
Speaker 9: Week thirteen. How tempted will they be to wait until
49:58
Speaker 9: tuesday's final rankings before setting the matchup. There may be
50:01
Speaker 9: a little temptation there, or maybe they'll know based on
50:04
Speaker 9: the Week twelve results what they want to do. But
50:07
Speaker 9: I think it creates just a little crack in the door.
50:11
Speaker 9: If you are the PAC twelve and you're looking for
50:13
Speaker 9: little edge, it gives you a little edge. TV partners
50:15
Speaker 9: tell me they like it because you know they're gonna
50:18
Speaker 9: be able to say, hey, we want we'd rather see
50:19
Speaker 9: Fresno State play, you know, Colorado State instead. Like it,
50:23
Speaker 9: you know, so the TV partners are gonna be on
50:25
Speaker 9: board as well. It may be a nothing burger, but
50:27
Speaker 9: it might be something.
50:28
Speaker 2: Okay, now you've got me intrigued even more than ever.
50:30
Speaker 2: John Knzona with me. I was like wishy washy on
50:33
Speaker 2: this idea, but I'm not sure why.
50:35
Speaker 3: Now I like it. But here's why I like it
50:37
Speaker 3: as well. Helped me out.
50:39
Speaker 2: So Week thirteen, November twenty eighth, there's four games in
50:43
Speaker 2: the PAC twelve. The four home teams remain the same,
50:46
Speaker 2: so it's not like if you're playing, you know you
50:48
Speaker 2: have a home game, so you're selling a season ticket,
50:50
Speaker 2: you know, for and Wazoo, for example, has a home game,
50:53
Speaker 2: whether it's Oregon State or somebody else, So you know
50:55
Speaker 2: that you have a home game, and the other four
50:57
Speaker 2: teams know that they have a road game. Here's my
50:59
Speaker 2: question when you talk to people with the conference, because
51:02
Speaker 2: this is about finding a path to the CFP, so
51:06
Speaker 2: and with the group of five going to be in there,
51:08
Speaker 2: so you're looking at it, say let's just use this
51:10
Speaker 2: for example, Let's say Boise State and Washington State are
51:14
Speaker 2: the two top teams in the conference, and they both
51:18
Speaker 2: have a shot to get into the CFP. You know,
51:21
Speaker 2: whoever wins the conference championship game, which I'll get to
51:24
Speaker 2: in a second, but whoever wins that game has a
51:26
Speaker 2: really good shot, a very good shot to get into
51:30
Speaker 2: the CFP. Do you, then, as a conference say, all right,
51:34
Speaker 2: Boise State, you're gonna play the you know, the seventh
51:37
Speaker 2: place team, Washington State you're gonna play the sixth place team.
51:40
Speaker 2: Or do you try to in other words, you try
51:42
Speaker 2: to schedule a round and try to make sure they
51:44
Speaker 2: don't take a loss going into this the conference championship game.
51:47
Speaker 9: You do whatever benefits your best teams, right, So, okay,
51:51
Speaker 9: you have the option there. Let's say Tulane, Boise State,
51:56
Speaker 9: and San Diego State in North Texas are all like
52:00
Speaker 9: neck and neck in the CFP rankings, and you've got
52:04
Speaker 9: those two teams Boise State and San Diego State maybe
52:06
Speaker 9: playing each other in the championship games. You're not gonna
52:09
Speaker 9: have them play in week thirteen. You may try to
52:12
Speaker 9: game the system and go, hey, we need them to
52:14
Speaker 9: play the best possible opponent.
52:16
Speaker 10: Because there's a real strength strength of schedule issue.
52:19
Speaker 9: On the other side, you may alternately say, no, no, no,
52:22
Speaker 9: we want to ensure we think if they just win
52:24
Speaker 9: that game, they're gonna be better positioned. So you may
52:27
Speaker 9: have them play, you know, the team that's in sixth place,
52:30
Speaker 9: in seventh place or something like that. So you know,
52:33
Speaker 9: it's a two be determined. And I am told they
52:35
Speaker 9: will talk about it throughout the season. They'll monitor it
52:38
Speaker 9: throughout the season. I think you and I are gonna
52:41
Speaker 9: start really talking about it right around week ten. Yeah,
52:44
Speaker 9: we're gonna start to go okay, wait a minute, is
52:47
Speaker 9: it better if the Cougs play San Diego State, or
52:50
Speaker 9: is it better if they play you know, Texas State, Like,
52:53
Speaker 9: you know, what's the better matchup there? And there's also
52:56
Speaker 9: another tentacle to this, because it's not just CFP, but
53:00
Speaker 9: what if somebody is on the brink of being bowl
53:02
Speaker 9: eligible and you're getting a payout to go to go
53:06
Speaker 9: to a bowl game? Like, could you as a conference go, hey,
53:09
Speaker 9: down the line, we'd like for you know, our third
53:12
Speaker 9: place team to play the last place team because we
53:14
Speaker 9: want them to get that win that makes them Bowl eligible.
53:16
Speaker 2: So another what you're doing is you're just doing it.
53:18
Speaker 2: You're gonna do whatever is best for the conference in
53:20
Speaker 2: week thirteen, which I mean, frankly, that's what every conference
53:23
Speaker 2: is trying to do anyway right now. It feels like
53:25
Speaker 2: is do what's best for your conference as a whole,
53:28
Speaker 2: and you know it's going to maybe benefit one school
53:30
Speaker 2: over or the other, but it benefits the entire conference,
53:32
Speaker 2: the whole. Bolt rises. What's the story with the championship
53:35
Speaker 2: game for the conference?
53:36
Speaker 9: It will be home hosted high seed. Again, the aim
53:40
Speaker 9: is to get your best team into the playoffs. So
53:42
Speaker 9: you don't want you know, let's just hypothetically say it's
53:44
Speaker 9: Boise State because they've been really good in the last
53:47
Speaker 9: three seasons and won these things. But you know, you
53:49
Speaker 9: don't want Boise State going on the road in that game.
53:51
Speaker 9: And so you know, I also think, you know, I
53:54
Speaker 9: had people say, you know, there's a rule that was
53:58
Speaker 9: put out. It was kind of clumsily worded. I think
54:00
Speaker 9: was a misstep by the conference, but they said, you know,
54:03
Speaker 9: you can't play the same opponent twice on the road.
54:06
Speaker 9: I am being told by the PAC twelve. Now they'll
54:08
Speaker 9: do whatever. In that last week. It'll just be the
54:11
Speaker 9: four teams that have home games will be home, but
54:14
Speaker 9: they are subject to like if they have been you know,
54:17
Speaker 9: if San Diego State, for example, has been home in
54:20
Speaker 9: an earlier season game against you know, let's say they
54:25
Speaker 9: were home against the Oregon State and it just proved
54:28
Speaker 9: that that flex game they needed to be home again.
54:31
Speaker 9: In Oregon State is a road team in that week,
54:33
Speaker 9: they will make that matchup happen. They will do what
54:36
Speaker 9: is best for the conference and what is best for
54:39
Speaker 9: getting a team in the CFP.
54:40
Speaker 5: I like it.
54:40
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just everything makes sense. I mean, it
54:42
Speaker 2: makes it makes a ton of sense all the way around.
54:45
Speaker 2: Help me out here again, Why is you and LV
54:48
Speaker 2: not in this conference.
54:49
Speaker 9: Yeah, they didn't want to be. I mean, that's a
54:51
Speaker 9: simple answer. I keep asking people. You know, they were
54:53
Speaker 9: invited twice, and so they have said no.
54:55
Speaker 10: They have said no.
54:56
Speaker 9: I kind of think the Mountain West adding North Dakota
54:59
Speaker 9: State wasn't just about getting North Dakota State in there
55:02
Speaker 9: and getting them to pay, you know, twelve or fifteen
55:04
Speaker 9: million dollars to join. It was I think to get
55:07
Speaker 9: to ten teams in the event that you have a
55:10
Speaker 9: defection of UNLV and Air Force. Glorianavarus is not dumb.
55:13
Speaker 9: She doesn't want to end up in the same position
55:15
Speaker 9: where she's like going, we got to scramble for relevancy.
55:18
Speaker 9: I think they add that school, they get an immediate
55:20
Speaker 9: infusion of cash, and now they have a little bit
55:23
Speaker 9: of defense. They have created a little buffer if they
55:26
Speaker 9: lose UNLV and Air Force. The American wants air Force badly.
55:29
Speaker 9: They want to put air Force alongside Army and Navy.
55:32
Speaker 9: You know, UNLV PAC twelve wants you UNLV. I talked
55:35
Speaker 9: to the president at Utah State yesterday and Brad Morton said,
55:40
Speaker 9: and he says that, I said, you know, are you
55:42
Speaker 9: guys done and he says, no, we need another school.
55:46
Speaker 10: And I said, so, what are you looking for? And
55:47
Speaker 10: he says, we won't settle North Dakota State, Northern Illinois,
55:53
Speaker 10: Sacramento State.
55:54
Speaker 9: That would be settling. The PAC twelve does not want
55:57
Speaker 9: to settle. I think he's saying, we still want UNLV,
56:00
Speaker 9: and I think this. I think the Packed Web still
56:01
Speaker 9: wants the rebels, and I think eventually UNLV may go, hey,
56:05
Speaker 9: you know what, like gosh, we we can't get to
56:07
Speaker 9: the playoff from the Mountain West. We can't, you know,
56:11
Speaker 9: we look at the American They're in front of us.
56:13
Speaker 9: Look at PAC twelve, they're in front of us. And
56:15
Speaker 9: at that point maybe the thinking changes for UNLV.
56:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I just I was in I was
56:20
Speaker 2: in Salt Lakes working in Salt Lake City when the
56:22
Speaker 2: Mountain West was formed in nineteen ninety nine, the Breakaway
56:25
Speaker 2: eight as they called it, from the Whack and I
56:28
Speaker 2: mean air Force BYU Colorado State, New Mexico, San Diego State, UNLV,
56:31
Speaker 2: Utah and Wyoming was the original membership of that group,
56:35
Speaker 2: and the Whack was left like kind of like the
56:37
Speaker 2: Mountain West is here right now kind of wanting for
56:39
Speaker 2: you know more wanting to be part of it, and
56:41
Speaker 2: I just it's interesting to see some of the school
56:43
Speaker 2: you know, smart move I think by Utah State, right,
56:46
Speaker 2: they weren't a part of the Mountain West Conference and
56:48
Speaker 2: they're independent for a while. Yeah, we want we were
56:50
Speaker 2: all in, you know, Boise State, what have you. Let's
56:53
Speaker 2: let's get it all in at that point too, But well,
56:55
Speaker 2: you know, Boise State wasn't part of the original Mountain
56:58
Speaker 2: West Conference. So yeah, I mean it's interesting to see
57:01
Speaker 2: that these schools that are not part of it, and
57:03
Speaker 2: UNLV be the top of the list. I just know
57:05
Speaker 2: it'd be nice to have them. You get Gonzaga for basketball,
57:08
Speaker 2: which is just massive, like just huge to have the
57:11
Speaker 2: Zags coming in.
57:13
Speaker 3: Let me ask you this.
57:14
Speaker 2: You cover everything, and I want to get to this
57:16
Speaker 2: real quick before we before we have to let you go, John, what's.
57:20
Speaker 3: The feeling in Eugene right now? Because I'm looking here.
57:24
Speaker 2: Washington loses to Penn State last night in basketball, just
57:27
Speaker 2: a crushing loss, and for some reason, they keep talking
57:29
Speaker 2: like they think they have a chance of the tournament.
57:31
Speaker 2: Not with thirteen losses at twelve and thirteen, they don't.
57:33
Speaker 2: They have no shot unless they win the Big Ten Tournament.
57:36
Speaker 2: Oregon's awful in basketball this season? What's the feeling in
57:40
Speaker 2: Eugene right now about the Big Ten? Football seems to
57:43
Speaker 2: be fine, but boy, for basketball maybe others? What are
57:46
Speaker 2: they thinking?
57:48
Speaker 9: It was recently doing some reporting on the Dana Altman front,
57:50
Speaker 9: like is this it for Dana?
57:52
Speaker 2: Yeah?
57:52
Speaker 9: And I asked somebody high ranking official in the athletic department.
57:55
Speaker 9: I said, what percentage of your revenue and energy is
57:59
Speaker 9: dedicated football? And the answer came ninety five percent. They
58:03
Speaker 9: are ninety five percent in So if it works for
58:06
Speaker 9: football and nothing else, I think they'll kind of be
58:08
Speaker 9: okay with it because they know that football is paying
58:11
Speaker 9: the bills and that's what matters, and that's where they
58:13
Speaker 9: want to matter. But none of the four schools that
58:16
Speaker 9: left the Pac Twelve that went to the Big Ten
58:19
Speaker 9: in basketball are doing anything. Mick Cronin at UCLA just.
58:22
Speaker 2: A plain every day.
58:24
Speaker 9: Yeah, the USC is not you know, it hasn't been
58:26
Speaker 9: USC Oregon and Washington. You know, Oregon is in the
58:31
Speaker 9: basement like this is this is not good? And and
58:34
Speaker 9: I think everybody can plainly see it. But I think
58:36
Speaker 9: there's just kind of an acceptance that at some point
58:39
Speaker 9: football is gonna split off top sixty or eighty. Teams
58:42
Speaker 9: are going to go do something, and then I think
58:44
Speaker 9: they'll get back to putting the geography back together. David
58:47
Speaker 9: Shaw said this to me when Oregon and Washington left.
58:49
Speaker 9: He said, he said, I think of geography will eventually win.
58:53
Speaker 9: And I keep thinking about that because it's everything that
58:56
Speaker 9: these guys are talking about and the recruits are talking
58:58
Speaker 9: about and their families, And I talked to families and
59:00
Speaker 9: recruits they go, they chase the money, but down deep,
59:03
Speaker 9: the parents.
59:03
Speaker 10: Are going, gosh, that's that's a long way from home
59:06
Speaker 10: that I have to go.
59:06
Speaker 9: I have to go to Rutgers to see my kid
59:08
Speaker 9: play like it's it's it's just changed the entire mentality
59:13
Speaker 9: of of our sports psyche.
59:15
Speaker 10: And so I think eventually gets back together.
59:18
Speaker 9: And if it goes back to like the idea with
59:20
Speaker 9: the PAC twelve and North Dakota State and all the
59:22
Speaker 9: ambition we're seeing at the G six level, it's kind
59:25
Speaker 9: of like, you know, they're all trying to dip their
59:27
Speaker 9: heads under the velvet rope and get into whatever is
59:30
Speaker 9: going to come next. And North Dakota State is going, hey,
59:32
Speaker 9: we've done what we can do in FCS. Let's go
59:34
Speaker 9: b jmu let's go be Yeah, we need to be
59:36
Speaker 9: Appalachian State, you know. And so you know Boise States saying, hey,
59:40
Speaker 9: we were in the playoff, like, don't forget us. So
59:42
Speaker 9: everybody's trying to get under that velvet rope right now
59:45
Speaker 9: for what's happening in twenty thirty one twenty thirty two,
59:47
Speaker 9: because that's that's the next big shift.
59:49
Speaker 2: All right, let me wrap it up with this, John
59:50
Speaker 2: Canzone two things real quick. Jarcis Shepherd down at Oregon State,
59:54
Speaker 2: what's the thoughts.
59:56
Speaker 9: It's been underwhelming. I think he's fighting a fight that
59:59
Speaker 9: is a losing fight right now. And I think Oregon
1:00:01
Speaker 9: State fans are looking around the new PAC twelve and going, hey,
1:00:04
Speaker 9: wait a minute, are we.
1:00:04
Speaker 10: Gonna be in the basement of this thing?
1:00:06
Speaker 9: Like because Jim Mora Junior goes to Colorado State, boyc,
1:00:10
Speaker 9: he State's investing. San Diego State's gonna spend more than anybody.
1:00:13
Speaker 9: Everybody's looking at Washington State's higher and going that was
1:00:15
Speaker 9: a sneaky good hire by Washington State. And so I
1:00:19
Speaker 9: think people are going, Okay, the guy's got a lot
1:00:21
Speaker 9: of charisma.
1:00:22
Speaker 10: People like him.
1:00:23
Speaker 9: The donors like him, everybody talks to him, loves him.
1:00:25
Speaker 9: But I'm not sure that he's got the infrastructure that
1:00:28
Speaker 9: these other schools have right now, and that could be
1:00:29
Speaker 9: problematic early for.
1:00:30
Speaker 2: Oregon State and John that the staff is the big
1:00:33
Speaker 2: thing I think along the way, I you know, I'm
1:00:35
Speaker 2: go to asking about Kirby Moore too. I mean, we
1:00:37
Speaker 2: don't know what Kirby Moore is a head coach, but
1:00:38
Speaker 2: I look at his staff and the experience on his
1:00:41
Speaker 2: staff and who he brought in.
1:00:43
Speaker 3: Listen starts with Trent Bray.
1:00:44
Speaker 2: To be honest with you, Trent Brain maybe the classic
1:00:46
Speaker 2: example of really good assistant, really good coordinator, not a
1:00:50
Speaker 2: head coach, or at least wasn't ready to be a
1:00:51
Speaker 2: head coach. But Trent Brazier DC and a bunch of
1:00:53
Speaker 2: other guys with a ton of experience. I don't know
1:00:56
Speaker 2: what you think. I like the hire because I like
1:00:58
Speaker 2: the staff.
1:01:00
Speaker 10: They're gonna contend.
1:01:00
Speaker 9: And you know, I messaged with Bray right after that
1:01:03
Speaker 9: that job went public, and uh, I said, you know, really,
1:01:07
Speaker 9: that's just such a smart move. It's such a it's
1:01:09
Speaker 9: I slapped my forehead because I was like, why didn't
1:01:11
Speaker 9: I think of that. That's the that's so obvious, and
1:01:13
Speaker 9: it's so good. And I know he went out and
1:01:16
Speaker 9: he met with Texas's staff as well, and the fact
1:01:19
Speaker 9: that he's coming home to Pullman and Washington State's getting
1:01:22
Speaker 9: a big.
1:01:22
Speaker 10: Win for the kooks.
1:01:23
Speaker 3: You like, President can't well too right?
1:01:26
Speaker 10: Yes, smart, you know.
1:01:28
Speaker 9: I mean she's got a security clearance at NASA and
1:01:31
Speaker 9: Lawrence Livermore lab I mean she's smarter than you and
1:01:33
Speaker 9: I And.
1:01:34
Speaker 2: Come on, combine, Well, first, the bar isn't very high, buddy,
1:01:38
Speaker 2: the bar isn't very high. Let's say better, Smarterness, combine,
1:01:40
Speaker 2: that gives her a little more credit.
1:01:42
Speaker 10: There's a couple of these presidents, like sometimes I talk
1:01:44
Speaker 10: to these presidents.
1:01:45
Speaker 9: I talked to all of them, and some of them
1:01:46
Speaker 9: are dorks, let's be real, Like some of them are
1:01:48
Speaker 9: just academics, like okay, but there's a few in the
1:01:52
Speaker 9: PAC twelve right now, especially at Oregon State and Washington State.
1:01:56
Speaker 9: You know, jth Murphy at Oregon State is like this
1:01:59
Speaker 9: amazing story. It's it's slum dog millionaire. I mean, she's
1:02:02
Speaker 9: from India.
1:02:03
Speaker 3: She's way impressive, Like she's really impressive.
1:02:06
Speaker 9: I was in there her box for one of the games,
1:02:08
Speaker 9: and I was talking to her husband. He is an
1:02:10
Speaker 9: aerospace engineer. Okay, She's like, and he was talking to me.
1:02:14
Speaker 9: He said, you know, we could have I could have somebody,
1:02:16
Speaker 9: you know, and put all of your columns into a
1:02:19
Speaker 9: program and we could have it put the box score in,
1:02:20
Speaker 9: they could write the column.
1:02:21
Speaker 10: And I was like, no, they can't.
1:02:22
Speaker 9: He's like absolutely, nobody would be able to tell. And
1:02:24
Speaker 9: I had to walk away from the conversation. I was like,
1:02:26
Speaker 9: this guy is freaking me out here with like a
1:02:28

1:04:21
Speaker 2: and you know, listen, we we we have a great job.
1:04:26
Speaker 3: We talk sports all day. That's what we do for
1:04:27
Speaker 3: a living. We talk sports. It's still a job, still
1:04:32
Speaker 3: a job.
1:04:33
Speaker 2: So there are times and you're like, we we still
1:04:38
Speaker 2: work hard. It's but I mean there's times, honestly, there'd
1:04:40
Speaker 2: be times I'm like, eh, what are we doing here?
1:04:43
Speaker 2: Like it's we're talking sports, and you know, I don't
1:04:45
Speaker 2: want to be like Petros and just like totally just
1:04:47
Speaker 2: missed sports and sports radio even though it pays me
1:04:49
Speaker 2: and everything else, and which is just the weirdest thing ever.
1:04:53
Speaker 2: I guess that's his stick. But there's times you kind
1:04:57
Speaker 2: of go, is it worth it? I mean, I honestly
1:05:01
Speaker 2: I question that all the time. You know, But let
1:05:04
Speaker 2: me just say this, A day like yesterday reminds us
1:05:09
Speaker 2: why we do what we do. We can be a
1:05:11
Speaker 2: voice and a conduit for the fans and what like.
1:05:17
Speaker 2: I just I just directed traffic. I'll tell you right
1:05:20
Speaker 2: now what Jackson and Softy and Ashley did so hard
1:05:23
Speaker 2: to do. Basically, you're doing play by play of a
1:05:26
Speaker 2: parade on a radio without any real good access. You're
1:05:30
Speaker 2: in the midst of millions of people and squeezed together
1:05:34
Speaker 2: on a phone trying to do a radio hit. And
1:05:36
Speaker 2: what those three d'd yesterday was nothing short of remarkable.
1:05:40
Speaker 2: And I want to say thank you everybody get texted
1:05:42
Speaker 2: in yesterday. We had so many great texts telling us
1:05:45
Speaker 2: that they enjoyed what we did, and that makes it
1:05:48
Speaker 2: all worthwhile. And I'm glad you guys cant enjoy it
1:05:49
Speaker 2: because listen, Frankly, that the reality is is not everybody
1:05:53
Speaker 2: could go. There's been a lot made about the school thing.
1:05:58
Speaker 2: We let's just take a step back for a second.
1:06:00
Speaker 2: If somebody wanted to take their kid out of school
1:06:03
Speaker 2: and go to the parade, that's a parent's prerogative. This
1:06:05
Speaker 2: is how it works. For those that don't have kids.
1:06:08
Speaker 2: You call the school, my son or daughter will not
1:06:10
Speaker 2: be in today. You that's an absence, you know what,
1:06:13
Speaker 2: an unexcused absence? Is when you don't call in and
1:06:17
Speaker 2: tell them that the kid's.
1:06:17
Speaker 4: Not going to be there exactly.
1:06:20
Speaker 2: The school just wants you as a parent to make
1:06:22
Speaker 2: sure that they notify the school that their kid is yes,
1:06:26
Speaker 2: and if it's unexcused. That's different than just saying I'm
1:06:30
Speaker 2: taking my kid out today. Kids get out of school
1:06:32
Speaker 2: all the time. Next week is win or break. You
1:06:35
Speaker 2: know what. The attendance most schools is going to be tomorrow.
1:06:37
Speaker 2: A lot of schools tomorrow, about fifty percent because people
1:06:41
Speaker 2: take the extra day on Friday. So don't worry about
1:06:43
Speaker 2: school sales. School district a lot of beating because it
1:06:46
Speaker 2: wasn't an excused absence whatever.
1:06:49
Speaker 3: Nobody cares.
1:06:49
Speaker 4: It's not going to be a permanent record.
1:06:51
Speaker 2: And if you're yeah, I'll take it right down. And
1:06:54
Speaker 2: nobody look at transcripts from high school these days. Trust me. People.
1:06:58
Speaker 4: Thank god it's kindergarten all right.
1:07:02
Speaker 2: Well, else, what do you got next?
1:07:04
Speaker 5: Here we go.
1:07:05
Speaker 12: I think first priority would be Walker, but I franchise him,
1:07:08
Speaker 12: so you kick that Candon. Next year you got a
1:07:10
Speaker 12: Helpy Zach and Helpy Ken He coming back. And then
1:07:13
Speaker 12: it's either job or Woollen, depending on who you want
1:07:16
Speaker 12: to be your starting corner and everybody after that. It
1:07:19
Speaker 12: just has to do with price, because you have backup,
1:07:21
Speaker 12: second filling. If Kobe doesn't want to sign, you've got tie,
1:07:26
Speaker 12: et cetera.
1:07:26
Speaker 5: That's what I would do.
1:07:28
Speaker 2: I'm gonna ask him what title Cotta. I know Cosell
1:07:30
Speaker 2: really liked him his year went on. That'll be one
1:07:33
Speaker 2: of the bonus co Sell segment. I know we're having
1:07:35
Speaker 2: co Sell on tomorrow.
1:07:36
Speaker 6: Mo.
1:07:36
Speaker 4: We are okay, Greg and I are friends now.
1:07:39
Speaker 2: I like it well. I like the fact we're gonna
1:07:40
Speaker 2: have one because I want to ask him about that
1:07:41
Speaker 2: specific position. I thought it would be a downgrade or
1:07:45
Speaker 2: a step down from from Kobe Bryant to Olcata. But
1:07:49
Speaker 2: I think co Cell really liked what he saw on
1:07:50
Speaker 2: tape this year from tylecottas we'll see so what he says,
1:07:53
Speaker 2: but we'll talk about that. I think that, Yeah, the
1:07:55
Speaker 2: franchising of I mean, we all know that John Steuders
1:07:58
Speaker 2: adverse to do the franchise unless he's gonna sign a
1:08:00
Speaker 2: Trader Guy. I that might be the option you take
1:08:05
Speaker 2: with ken Walker, though, that might be what you do
1:08:07
Speaker 2: all right, next one, he'd ten Okay, that's.
1:08:12
Speaker 10: Much radio station for the fan.
1:08:14
Speaker 9: Speaking of fans, I went down to Seattle today and
1:08:19
Speaker 9: there was no fans ian.
1:08:22
Speaker 3: It was like a graveyard at the carriers done.
1:08:26
Speaker 7: Maybe that's because the parade was yesterday.
1:08:30
Speaker 10: Next time, tell me when the parade is.
1:08:31
Speaker 4: That I won't be like, hey, go up, pretty accurate.
1:08:38
Speaker 4: If you asked me to be honest, that's pretty good.
1:08:42
Speaker 5: Never gets old.
1:08:45
Speaker 6: Going back to what you were saying about us having
1:08:48
Speaker 6: this job and what we get to do, Oh my god,
1:08:52
Speaker 6: I know. My favorite part is sharing it with people.
1:08:54
Speaker 6: And I think that's why I like radio so much.
1:08:58
Speaker 2: Somebody in two o six can guest list the officer
1:09:01
Speaker 2: who probably should have arrested Softy. Yeah, I get on
1:09:03
Speaker 2: that way, please, And I'm sorry.
1:09:05
Speaker 6: I listened to that entire thing, and that guy was
1:09:08
Speaker 6: extremely tolerant. I get Softy's frustration, but he was very,
1:09:14
Speaker 6: very tolerant in my opinion.
1:09:18
Speaker 3: We let's see.
1:09:20
Speaker 2: There was someone that said, now I'm getting word on
1:09:25
Speaker 2: the text line that people were saying that Softy that
1:09:30
Speaker 2: the cops were actually telling the Seahawks to stay on
1:09:32
Speaker 2: the other side of the street away from Softy.
1:09:34
Speaker 3: They're messing with him.
1:09:35
Speaker 6: Somebody did text that in I saw that earlier. But yeah,
1:09:41
Speaker 6: I don't know that for a fact.
1:09:43
Speaker 3: Next up, this is a this is this is good.
1:09:47
Speaker 3: We talked about the start of the show today.

1:13:44
Speaker 2: when this is the post parade? Uh, letdown?
1:13:49
Speaker 8: Everything catching up to you after a week and a
1:13:51
Speaker 8: half of shenanigans.
1:13:52
Speaker 5: In the area.
1:13:53
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm just in the words that Kevin Collaboro Santa
1:13:56
Speaker 7: flat out over didni flat out?
1:14:00
Speaker 2: Getting some texts in? We're getting some text in. Do
1:14:04
Speaker 2: you think that there's a chance during yesterday's parade, Yeah,
1:14:08
Speaker 2: that a couple of the police officers were plotting against you.
1:14:14
Speaker 2: I'm telling players not to come on the other side
1:14:16
Speaker 2: of the truck. Stuff from outside of the street. We're
1:14:19
Speaker 2: getting we're getting some word on not at all.
1:14:21
Speaker 13: They would have had to have actually walked away from
1:14:23
Speaker 13: their post to do something, which at that point you
1:14:25
Speaker 13: would have done whatever you needed to do. Oh yeah,
1:14:27
Speaker 13: I mean I I had a buddy, I had a
1:14:29
Speaker 13: guy that I knew with the Washington State Patrol that
1:14:34
Speaker 13: was willing to look the other way. Okay, uh until
1:14:37
Speaker 13: his his commander. Is that how you say it? Sure,
1:14:40
Speaker 13: let's just go with that. Know what you've called it.
1:14:41
Speaker 13: Let's just call commander boss. His commander came over and
1:14:44
Speaker 13: squashed that idea, so that didn't happen. Okay, Yeah, I
1:14:48
Speaker 13: won't give out his name, and I want to get
1:14:49
Speaker 13: the guy in trouble. I did have some help for
1:14:52
Speaker 13: a while, and that help was denied.
1:14:53
Speaker 2: Because I thought the tenor I got from the conversations. Initially,
1:14:58
Speaker 2: you were in good shape to kind of do what
1:15:00
Speaker 2: you wanted to do, and it quickly turned.
1:15:03
Speaker 8: That's what I'm saying that I had.
1:15:04
Speaker 13: I had a guy, yeah, who was willing to say, hey,
1:15:06
Speaker 13: just keep it to this ten foot by twenty foot perimeter. Yeah,
1:15:11
Speaker 13: and then you know, some big shot came over and
1:15:14
Speaker 13: put the kaibash on that you looked at you and happened.
1:15:16
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, yeah, you're not gonna They're not doing what
1:15:19
Speaker 2: you want to do.
1:15:19
Speaker 8: Yeah, public safety issue is what I was told.
1:15:22
Speaker 3: They don't care.
1:15:23
Speaker 2: Okay, I can see them caring about the public, right,
1:15:25
Speaker 2: they don't care about the media, right.
1:15:27
Speaker 13: Yeah, we're not even real people. You're definitely not real people.
1:15:29
Speaker 13: It's like kickers and punters are like, we don't really matter.
1:15:32
Speaker 13: If you got run over by one of those big
1:15:34
Speaker 13: tray wouldn't give a day and wouldn't care exactly, So
1:15:36
Speaker 13: why do they care? I told the guy, I said,
1:15:38
Speaker 13: I'm willing to make a video and sign a waiver
1:15:40
Speaker 13: if I get killed, it's not your fault. Yeah, YadA, YadA, YadA, Yeah,
1:15:44
Speaker 13: none of that. So anyway, yeah, I thought it was
1:15:46
Speaker 13: a hell of a job, though, I thank you.
1:15:48
Speaker 2: That part was almost as entertaining as a parade, right,
1:15:51
Speaker 2: you were going back and let me go by here
1:15:53
Speaker 2: hear the guy in the background.
1:15:54
Speaker 8: No, well, the worst part was.
1:15:56
Speaker 13: Having to walk through like Cairo and King five and
1:15:59
Speaker 13: I think Comb may have been there. I'm not sure
1:16:01
Speaker 13: if Fox was in our area or not. But sidestepping
1:16:05
Speaker 13: over their equipment right and not biting it and smashing
1:16:09
Speaker 13: my face on the cement.
1:16:10
Speaker 2: And that always makes like camera people uncomfortability? Does they
1:16:13
Speaker 2: were really uncommoned?
1:16:14
Speaker 13: Well, the most uncomfortable portion of the parade is when
1:16:16
Speaker 13: I threw a live microphone like I did twelve years ago.
1:16:20
Speaker 8: This one went to Anthony Bradford and I get Terry
1:16:23
Speaker 8: Ryan in my ear.
1:16:24
Speaker 13: Do not throwing the Maria cuts one thousand dollars priests
1:16:27
Speaker 13: of machinery.
1:16:28
Speaker 2: You obviously didn't listen to that. No, No, I did
1:16:31
Speaker 2: it again, to Anthony Bradford's credit and to Averril. Those guys,
1:16:34
Speaker 2: the two guys you see stuff too, that's right, no swear, yeah, no,
1:16:37
Speaker 2: I'm believable.
1:16:38
Speaker 3: Good for them.
1:16:38
Speaker 13: But we got a great board operator back here, and
1:16:40
Speaker 13: Christopher Kidd he would have caught it, right, he would
1:16:42
Speaker 13: have caught it probably, come on, he would have caught it.
1:16:45
Speaker 8: Anyway, listen, you know what it's. It's in the rear
1:16:47
Speaker 8: view mirror.
1:16:48
Speaker 1: Now.
1:16:48
Speaker 13: Now we have to, I guess, decide how much time
1:16:51
Speaker 13: do we spend just kind of basking in the glow
1:16:54
Speaker 13: of what happened on Sunday versus kind of moving on
1:16:56
Speaker 13: and talking about next year. I want to spend some
1:16:59
Speaker 13: time today and I brought this up briefly on the
1:17:01
Speaker 13: show yesterday. I want to talk about how much credit
1:17:05
Speaker 13: Pete Carroll should get for what this team just did.
1:17:08
Speaker 13: Because I got a list of players right in front
1:17:09
Speaker 13: of me that we're all brought in on Pete Carroll's watch.
1:17:13
Speaker 13: And it's pretty significant, man, Yeah, pretty significant. Right, Like
1:17:17
Speaker 13: you think about the twenty thirteen team versus the two
1:17:20
Speaker 13: thousand and nine team, there's nobody left.
1:17:23
Speaker 8: I mean, Pete Carroll took a machete to the roster.
1:17:26
Speaker 13: Remember that when he showed up here made like a
1:17:28
Speaker 13: thousand moves in the first week on the job.
1:17:30
Speaker 3: It was almost four hundred moves in the first two
1:17:32
Speaker 3: four months.
1:17:32
Speaker 13: So this is different. I mean, you got like half
1:17:35
Speaker 13: your starting lineup was a Pete Carroll guy. Well, Josh Schneider, right, ye,
1:17:40
Speaker 13: all those guys, all those guys, Manross. I mean, just first, blush,
1:17:44
Speaker 13: how much credit do you want to give Pete for
1:17:47
Speaker 13: this thing?
1:17:48
Speaker 3: I give him a little bit, A little bit, I'll
1:17:49
Speaker 3: give you a little bit.
1:17:50
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, I mean I think Schneider put the
1:17:52
Speaker 2: finishing touches on it. Yeah, you know, the great unknown
1:17:55
Speaker 2: that we always had on it. So we've talked about
1:17:56
Speaker 2: this on draft day for the last what fifteen years?
1:18:00
Speaker 2: Who's really calling the shots right?
1:18:02
Speaker 5: Right?
1:18:02
Speaker 2: Because the popular thing is, well, when they drafted Christian
1:18:05
Speaker 2: Michael and Leek Migdal, those were Pete drafts, so they
1:18:08
Speaker 2: were John strafts. Well do we know that?
1:18:10
Speaker 8: No, No we don't.
1:18:11
Speaker 13: I said this on the show the other day, and no,
1:18:13
Speaker 13: we have to run here. I would love to know
1:18:16
Speaker 13: whose idea it was to remove Pete Carroll first, like
1:18:20
Speaker 13: the first because don't tell me it was all the
1:18:23
Speaker 13: group effort. No, somebody had to come to somebody with
1:18:26
Speaker 13: that idea first.
1:18:28
Speaker 2: Who was it?
1:18:29
Speaker 8: I was it Schneider? Was it Russell Wilson?
1:18:32
Speaker 2: Was it Burt Coled?
1:18:33
Speaker 5: Okay?
1:18:34
Speaker 8: Was it Jody Allen?
1:18:35
Speaker 2: Who wasn't Russ tried before he got there? We know
1:18:38
Speaker 2: that right right, I'm gonna say it's Burke Cole. Burt Cole.
1:18:41
Speaker 13: Burt Cole was the one that in a private moment
1:18:43
Speaker 13: went into Jody's office I think caught her up on
1:18:46
Speaker 13: our private jet and said, hey, before you land in
1:18:48
Speaker 13: the Caribbean, whatever we gotta make, we got to talk
1:18:51
Speaker 13: about Pete here.
1:18:52
Speaker 2: My educated guests would be this Burt Cold after Paul
1:18:56
Speaker 2: passed away. Yeah, was on every road trip. He was
1:18:59
Speaker 2: the first guy into the locker room on every road
1:19:01
Speaker 2: trip after a game.
1:19:02
Speaker 13: And he's the vice chairman, by the way, and for
1:19:04
Speaker 13: the entire operation, had had a decent pulse on what
1:19:07
Speaker 13: was going on.
1:19:08
Speaker 2: Never saw Jody on the road. Bert was there in Arizona,
1:19:12
Speaker 2: and I thought that was the end. I think I
1:19:15
Speaker 2: think Bert went to Jody and so we got to
1:19:16
Speaker 2: make a chance. Well, then Bert Cold probably begrudgingly for
1:19:20
Speaker 2: some people. I put myself in.
1:19:23
Speaker 13: A lot of credit for what just happened, and he's
1:19:26
Speaker 13: a guy that a lot of people don't know a
1:19:28
Speaker 13: lot about.
1:19:28
Speaker 3: Nope, right, nope, all right, all right, Uh feel better,
1:19:32
Speaker 3: Thank you.
1:19:32
Speaker 2: I appreciate that.
1:19:33
Speaker 3: Limited.
1:19:34
Speaker 2: He's limited.
1:19:34
Speaker 13: This is limited on the jury. I'll be good to go.
1:19:38
Speaker 13: I'm gonna test it out in pregame for the.
1:19:40
Speaker 4: Mild mannered and marginally objectionably in forness.
1:19:44
Speaker 8: This is paddle day, saying so long everyone,
