00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 1: Demand Williams situation. Jeedfish, head coach over at Washington, and

5
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: I kind of feel bad for interviewing Jed. I don't

6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: want to disrupt what's happening over there, but we need

7
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 1: answers and he's going to provide him and the head

8
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:23,599
Speaker 1: coach of the Dogs joined us right now on the

9

Speaker 1: I apologize for the phone call here. I know it's

Speaker 1: over there at you dub So. I apologize for the

16
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: for the interruption, But why don't we just start there? Coach,

17
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: it's been a crazy few days, I know for everybody there,

18
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: crazy for us as fans here on the air. Obviously,

19
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: how would you characterize the last forty eight seventy two

20
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: hours that you've been through.

21
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it's it's been a really interesting learning experience.

22
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 2: The last really I guess since January second, and probably

23
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 2: before that when the portal opened, but even really since

24
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 2: our season ended, trying to retain a team, dealing with

25
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 2: a lot of contract stuff that I've never dealt with

26
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 2: before at this level. There's been a ton of communication

27
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 2: with agents recently, and it's been a wild month or

28
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 2: whatever it's been, I guess from December thirteenth on, and

29
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 2: then it kind of culminated this week with a very

30
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 2: interesting week of learning.

31
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 4: Well, a week ago, we were all excited. We saw

32
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 4: that Demon Williams signed his deal to come back. Husky

33
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 4: Nation was fired up, and then you know, kind of

34
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 4: all hell broke lose. Can you shed some light, coach

35
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 4: on what happened between that day that Demon signed as

36
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 4: anil deal with you guys in the day he was

37
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 4: saying he was leaving less than a week later.

38
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I think I can. I'd say, well,

39
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 2: the good part is the you know, the excitement and

40
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 2: the energy of a week ago. You know, we're a

41
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 2: week later and I'm really all we've done is improved

42
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:19,959
Speaker 2: the team since then, and with Demand's return back, the

43
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 2: quality of the team and the quality of the players

44
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 2: is just continuing to improve. You know, they're obviously what

45
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 2: was the situation where, you know, a few days back

46
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 2: that we were dealing with a discussion whether or not

47
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 2: the mom was going to return here or choose to

48
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 2: try to go elsewhere. Initially, obviously he chose to return here,

49
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:49,119
Speaker 2: was very excited about it, and then you know posted

50
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 2: that he was, you know, potentially going to try to leave.

51
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 2: And then over the last forty eight to seventy two

52
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,040
Speaker 2: hours after that, after a lot of conversations and a

53
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 2: lot of communication and education and understanding the new wave

54
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 2: of college football, we all came to a really good

55
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 2: agreement where the best thing for Demand, the best thing

56
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 2: for Washington, and the best thing for all of college

57
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 2: football was for Demon to be the quarterback here for

58
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 2: his third season in a row.

59
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, Jeded fish is with So, Jed, were you

60
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: aware going into Tuesday night that he was going to

61
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 1: announce that he planned to enter the transfer portal?

62
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 2: No, No, that was no, there was no part of

63
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 2: that that I was expecting. We had some great conversations

64
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 2: when the season came to an end in the new

65
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 2: age of college football, and a third of the team,

66
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 2: a third of teams, not our team, but a third

67
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 2: of teams have been entering into the portal. I think

68
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 2: there's thousands and thousands of guys that have gone on.

69
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 2: You have conversations with every member of your team, and

70
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 2: you talk to them about the future, and you talked

71
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 2: about why being here is so important and why we

72
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 2: believe we built such an incredible foundation. So you have

73
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 2: those conversations up through that final day where they click

74
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 2: on you know, their their DOCU sign or their agent

75
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 2: approves their final deal. And when that happened, the traditionally,

76
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 2: you've now gotten to a point where you move on

77
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,359
Speaker 2: to the next player or you bring in the next

78
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 2: member of the portal. You know, we brought in about

79
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 2: ten players since the season ended to join the team.

80
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 2: Uh so, Yeah, I was surprised about what occurred on

81
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 2: I believe it was Tuesday, but also encouraged with all

82
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:48,119
Speaker 2: of the conversations that we had between Tuesday and last

83
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 2: night to put everybody you know, at ease and to

84
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 2: really talk about the future and how we were going

85
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 2: to really set Washington up for what hopefully will be

86
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 2: a great run this season.

87
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: Well, Jed fish with us and Jed surprising for me,

88
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: not from your perspective, but from Demand's perspective that he

89
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: would not have even made you aware that that post

90
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: was going out on Tuesday night. Do you do you

91
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: believe do you have reason to believe there was tampering

92
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: with Demand from another university between Friday and Tuesday.

93
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,679
Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know, and I really don't want to,

94
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 2: you know, get into that, the tampering or the discussions

95
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 2: of the communication. I know there's everybody wants to be

96
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 2: involved in those, and I kind of tend not to

97
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 2: want to be involved in those. I prefer much more

98
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 2: to be involved in talking about, you know, what a

99
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 2: what a good football team I think we're going to have.

100
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 2: I think I want to get involved in being able

101
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 2: to help and educate our kids on you know, the

102
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 2: decisions they make, the consequences that we have, and then

103
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 2: you know how to be able to overcome some consequences

104
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 2: and also can you to become great communicators. And really,

105
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 2: my job as a college football coach is to educate

106
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 2: eighteen to twenty two year olds and twenty three year olds.

107
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 2: And I've learned a ton over the last seventy two

108
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 2: ninety six hours. I've also learned a ton over the month,

109
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 2: And to be honest, with you. I've learned a ton

110
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:22,239
Speaker 2: over the year, and I'm looking forward to sharing and

111
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 2: being able to help our kids grow and be a

112
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 2: better football team, have a more trusting relationships with all

113
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 2: of us, have an incredible bond as a program, and

114
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 2: see what type of team we can put out there

115
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 2: in August. But we got eight months of work to

116
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 2: be able to get to where we want to be.

117
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 4: Coach, I'm sure you reached out to him right away

118
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 4: after being stunned by that announcement. What was his reasoning

119
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 4: that he gave you on that Tuesday that he wanted

120
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 4: to leave.

121
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the conversations that we had, I feel

122
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 2: like those are really important that we stay. Uh, that's

123
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 2: staves between us. I think as most kids in this

124
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 2: new era of football, you know, they're learning, they're they're

125
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 2: trying to understand, They're trying to figure out what does

126
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 2: this all look like? What is what is it that

127
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 2: I signed up for? What is it that we're living

128
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 2: in right now? You start hearing about the craziness of

129
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 2: so many different places and so many different kids, And

130
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 2: you know, I think for us, he and I had

131
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 2: a conversation about what we both thought was best and

132
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 2: then it took the forty eight, you know, hours or

133
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 2: so to really land where we felt the plane should

134
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 2: be landed. And I think over those forty hours, we

135
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 2: both agreed that the plane should be landed at SeaTac

136
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 2: and we should be able to really learn, uh, be

137
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 2: educate the rest of our team about what happened, be

138
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 2: able to understand the value of time and timing, and

139
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,559
Speaker 2: then also be able to talk through how we can

140
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 2: really make this a stronger team because of what occurred.

141
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, Jeed Fish is with us on the radio show,

142
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: and Jed, look, you're I know, keenly aware of the

143
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: reaction to this by the Husky fan base.

144
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 3: And I've been.

145
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: Covering this thing for over thirty years, and I've never

146
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: seen the fan base fractured like this.

147
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 3: We ran a poll on social media.

148
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 1: Seven thousand people voted seventy percent to thirty percent against

149
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: wanting him to come back. For the fans out there

150
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 1: that don't trust him on Williams and don't want him

151
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: representing your doub anymore, what do you say to those fans?

152
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I saw you saw your posts when

153
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 2: you said in thirty two years, you've never seen this.

154
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 2: I think it's good. In thirty two years, we've never

155
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 2: this in college football. This is a completely new world.

156
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 2: This is the very first year in all of college

157
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 2: football that there's been revenue share agreements between a university

158
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 2: and between student athletes. This is the very first year that,

159
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 2: after all of these years where the kids really got

160
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 2: a scholarship, are now talking about sharing in twenty plus

161
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 2: million dollars through the television and multimedia rights marketing deals

162
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 2: that have been going on. So it is brand new,

163
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 2: and I think our fans, our coaches, our families are

164
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 2: all learning about the newness of college football. And I

165
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 2: think we really are working to learn about how close

166
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 2: it's becoming to pro football. And I'm not going to

167
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 2: compare it to you know, when there's a player that

168
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 2: misses a mini camp or a player that then shows

169
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,719
Speaker 2: up for their first veteran you know camp and then

170
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 2: everything is all and good, or a player that wants

171
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 2: to hold out and then comes back, or whatever it

172
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 2: might be. I think we're just learning college football is unique.

173
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 2: It's new in twenty twenty six, and all of us

174
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 2: are learning how to navigate it the best way possible.

175
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 4: Coach, can you shed some light on the emotions that

176
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 4: the team has gone through the last week, and how

177
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 4: worried are you about team chemistry? How much of a

178
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 4: struggle do you think it will be for Demand to

179
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 4: assimilate back with his teammates.

180
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 2: I think that's really important for the team to to

181
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 2: figure out that themselves. This isn't something that has gone

182
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 2: on for weeks or months. This isn't something that has

183
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 2: you know, been a you know, a contractual holdout that

184
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 2: we're you know concerned in this period of time where

185
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 2: oh my god, we've been away from the team for

186
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 2: so long. I mean, this has been a couple of days.

187
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 2: And now when he returns the team and Demand, I'm

188
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 2: sure we'll have numerous conversations. It's important that we all

189
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 2: recognize how we can learn from this. Our team is

190
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 2: really full of character and integrity. We really believe in

191
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 2: doing the right thing. We're also as me as the

192
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 2: head coach, our assistant coaches, our players, we're all learning

193
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 2: and we're all trying to get better and better and better.

194
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 2: And it's my hope that I can be better in

195
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 2: twenty six than I was in twenty five. It's my

196
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 2: hope that our whole team feels the same.

197
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: Way Jetfish is with us on the radio show and

198
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: Jed there's a thought I think that some people in

199
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: the media, some fans have that Demand came back because

200
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: he had to that the temperature, the financials on a

201
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: team that would have taken him were just too much

202
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: to handle and he really had no choice but to

203
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: return to Washington.

204
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 3: What do you say to people that have that belief?

205
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 2: What I would say is every conversation that I had

206
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 2: with Demand regarding his return was one in which that

207
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 2: he was excited to lead this team. It was one

208
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 2: in which that he was excited to be able to compete,

209
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 2: to be in the CFP. As he was seeing the

210
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 2: additions of our team and the amount of players that

211
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 2: were returning, which we're really proud of. I think he

212
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 2: was really exciting about and is really excited about surrounding

213
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 2: himself with such talent and the you know, whatever perception

214
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 2: is out there, I believe the most important thing is

215
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 2: what they believe in the locker room, and I think

216
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 2: I'm going to leave it up to the players to

217
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:43,079
Speaker 2: really work together to what would be building a championship

218
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 2: culture and a championship season.

219
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 4: Well, Dumont speak to the fan base through the media,

220
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 4: and if so win.

221
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 2: I'm sure at some point in time, Demand is the

222
00:12:55,400 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 2: starting quarterback. And you know, your starting quarterback has always

223
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 2: been put in front of the media and has always

224
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:10,319
Speaker 2: been somebody that has represented our program. And he has

225
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 2: done that with class over the twenty four months he's

226
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 2: been here. We're right now currently dealing with a situation

227
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 2: where he's nineteen and I want the mon to continue

228
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:29,599
Speaker 2: to learn. Obviously you saw on his post how apologetic

229
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 2: he was in terms of the timing of the post.

230
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 2: I spoke with coach Van Bike myself today. I apologized

231
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 2: on behalf of Washington Football. In the end, I'm the

232
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 2: forty nine year old, I'm the head coach. I'm responsible

233
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 2: for our program. I have reached out to both me

234
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,079
Speaker 2: as mom and dad, and I want to make sure

235
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 2: that they understand that one had nothing to do with

236
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 2: the other. And while the timing we all wish was different,

237
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 2: I can promise you from my conversations at Demand, there

238
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 2: was zero intact at all to take anything away from that.

239
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: Raperce Well Jeed fishes with us and Jed you mentioned

240
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: a couple of times now that your conversations with Demand

241
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 1: over I think it's like a forty eight hour period

242
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: right from Tuesday night until yesterday led.

243
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 3: You to believe that he was bought in, that he

244
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 3: wants to be here.

245
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: And I mean, look, we're not privy to those conversations obviously,

246
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: so we're almost like relying on you to trust that

247
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: you're hearing what you need to hear, that this guy

248
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: is loyal now to this program, that this is not

249
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: going to be a problem, either on the field or

250
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: off the field.

251
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 3: Can you, maybe if you can in detail.

252
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: Share a thought or two on what you heard from

253
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: demand Williams that makes you feel comfortable bringing him back.

254
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 2: One of the most important thing that I had to

255
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 2: hear is that I want to come back and at

256
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 2: you know, nineteen years old. I think that he and

257
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 2: I had a great conversation about speaking regards of like

258
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 2: how do we learn from this, how do we get better?

259
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 2: You know? One of the and I don't want to

260
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 2: get into the details of all of our conversations, but

261
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 2: one of the biggest parts of it was a learning experience.

262
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 2: And I think that as we saw that demon really

263
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 2: believes that he wants to be He's an outstanding academic

264
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 2: student and wants to be a part of the University

265
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 2: of Washington that's on that level, and on the same token,

266
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 2: he's coming off of a nine win season and wants

267
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 2: to be a part of the twelve win season plus

268
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 2: next year. So when he told me he wants to

269
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 2: come back, and he wants to lead this football program,

270
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 2: and he wants to do everything he possibly can to

271
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 2: help us win every game we're going to compete in.

272
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 2: I have to believe that I've known demand for four

273
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 2: and a half years.

274
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: Well, you said, Jed a couple of times that you've

275
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: learned a couple things in just the last couple of days.

276
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 3: What have you learned.

277
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 2: I learned that it's my responsibility as the head coach

278
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 2: of you know, close to one hundred and five eighteen

279
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 2: to twenty three year olds, that the communication of, you know,

280
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 2: the decision to commit, the decision to be a part

281
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 2: of the program, the communication factor of explaining to these

282
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 2: kids that what they're going to hear and what they're

283
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 2: going to see might not always be true. Helping these

284
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 2: guys understand that it's really important to you know, to

285
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 2: make sure that you do what you say. I've talked

286
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 2: to these guys and I've learned that I need to

287
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 2: do a better job and will continue to do a

288
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 2: better job of continuing to educate the team. On twenty

289
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 2: twenty six, College football in comparison twenty twenty four to

290
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 2: five was and really, what I want to do is

291
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 2: I want to make sure that these kids all know

292
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 2: that I love them, that I believe in our team,

293
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 2: and that what has gone on over the course of

294
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 2: a week or a month or two months, these kids

295
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 2: have been you know, punching them out a few dons

296
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 2: with a lot of rumors of a lot of different

297
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,640
Speaker 2: things that you know, and I want to make sure

298
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 2: that our guys know that we're all committed for two thousand.

299
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, let me wrap it up where we started with

300
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: Demon Williams, because I you, yeah, exactly. You mentioned that

301
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 1: he will talk eventually. We all hope that happens sooner

302
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 1: than later. I mean, I'd like him to be prepared

303
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 1: for that obviously, So I'm certain that's what's happening behind

304
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: the scenes. But do you feel like there's a little

305
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: something extra that he needs to do, uh, to earn

306
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: the trust back of not just this fan base but

307
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 1: also the university. There's been some ideas kicked around donating

308
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: money to the hospital and honor Amia doing some maybe

309
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: longer form in person interviews with people, Roy Firestone style,

310
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,360
Speaker 1: if you will to get all these questions that need

311
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 1: to be asked asked so we can all move on.

312
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: Do you think he's got to maybe do a little

313
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: bit of extra work here over this offseason to earn

314
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 1: that trust back.

315
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 2: Here that I would say to that it's a situation

316
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:26,199
Speaker 2: where somebody is telling him to do those things, then

317
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 2: I don't think that anybody would be happy. I think

318
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 2: this is whatever Demand really believes that he can do,

319
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 2: whether it be I mean you mentioned a donation or

320
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 2: whatever it might be. I don't want to tell somebody

321
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 2: what to do. What I want Demand to do is

322
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 2: I want to Mond to continue to grow, to mature

323
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 2: and to be comfortable. He is, you know, he is

324
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 2: someone that is learning how to be a pro. And

325
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,159
Speaker 2: I think that over time he's going to continue to

326
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:57,919
Speaker 2: learn and get better and appreciate so many things. And

327
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 2: I really hope that over these six months that aren't

328
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 2: fan base and you and the media and everybody involved

329
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 2: understand that really what we're talking about is, for a

330
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:12,879
Speaker 2: two days span, we had a player that decided to

331
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 2: you know, make a decision to kind of learn about

332
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,239
Speaker 2: the college landscape in a manner that I don't think

333
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,719
Speaker 2: he ever felt he would have had to learn. And

334
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 2: now we all have learned a ton about college football,

335
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 2: and I hope we're all better because of what we learned.

336
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, listen, thanks for doing this. Let's do

337
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 1: it again very soon, and next time you come on,

338
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,880

Speaker 3: How's that?

340
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 2: I will accept ninety eight percent football talk anytime.

341
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,399

357
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 1: few days. Somebody way more mature than us, way more

358
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:33,360
Speaker 1: accomplished than us. Our friend from the Sporting News, Mike

359
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: de Corsi's back with US.

360
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 3: Michael, Happy Friday. How are you man?

361
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 6: I'm doing great.

362
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 7: How are you guys?

363
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 3: Good.

364
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: Jeed Fish was just on with US moments ago Husky

365
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: football head coach and shared his thoughts on the situation

366
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 1: involving Demon Williams. I'm just curious from your perch, your perspective,

367
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: what was it like to watch this story develop an

368
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: unfold from your angle?

369
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:01,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm very disappointing. Look, I have no issue at

370
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 6: all with athletes being paid in whatever form they want

371
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 6: to disguise it. I have no issue at all. I

372
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 6: think it's wonderful. Really, I've watched. I did a piece

373
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 6: this week in advance of ole Missus game with the

374
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 6: Gibson on the sideline in what was his third college

375
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 6: game as a head coach, and went back to Steve

376
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 6: Fisher and had a nice conversation with Steve Fisher, formerly

377
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 6: of San Diego State, and the nineteen eighty nine Michigan Wolverines,

378
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 6: who won the national championship in his sixth game as

379
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:39,439
Speaker 6: a college head coach. And what I realized in looking

380
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 6: at at that was that when Bill Frieder, who opened

381
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 6: up the position in the same way that Lane Kiffin

382
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 6: did for the coach at Ole Miss, he left for

383
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 6: three hundred thousand dollars. And look, I know that three

384
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 6: hundred thousand dollars went a long longer away in nineteen

385
00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 6: eighty nine than it would now, but it's not ten

386
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 6: thirteen million dollars a year. It just shows you how

387
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,679
Speaker 6: much the coaching number has exploded. So I'm really happy

388
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 6: that players are getting excellent deals to play, but four

389
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 6: million dollars a lot of money, man, Like, you don't

390
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 6: need better than that as a college player, that's pretty

391
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 6: dog one good. And if you didn't feel like you

392
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 6: were getting well developed, maybe you think about it, but

393
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:32,120
Speaker 6: you wouldn't have signed in the first place. And if

394
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 6: you didn't think you were getting well developed, or how

395
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 6: the heck did you have a year like you had

396
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 6: in these circumstances as such a young player. Look, one

397
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 6: of the things that's really missing for a lot of

398
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 6: these young athletes.

399
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 2: Is that.

400
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, you want to get some money, now you should,

401
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 6: that's great, But the real money is out there. If

402
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 6: you develop your talent into that of an NFL starter

403
00:22:55,760 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 6: and a bona fide we got to keep him NFL starter.

404
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 6: That's where the real money is. I mean like crazy money,

405
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:10,200
Speaker 6: like generational money. Dak Prescott's just, in my opinion, above

406
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 6: average and is making more than anybody. He's making like

407
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 6: sixty million dollars a year now, so you've got to

408
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:21,199
Speaker 6: prepare for that, and changing addresses every year is not

409
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 6: a good way to do that. It's it's there aren't

410
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 6: very many quarterbacks in the NFL who went from place

411
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 6: to place to place to place. Most of them were

412
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 6: in one place. A few like Joe Flacco started at

413
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 6: Pittsburgh couldn't get on the field. Then he went to

414
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 6: Delaware and he got on the field and it became

415
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 6: a big time Super Bowl NFL quarterback. But most of

416
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,439
Speaker 6: them erear in one place as they developed three to

417
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 6: four years, and that should be a consideration for this player.

418
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 6: But unfortunately it happened as it did, and I'm glad

419
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 6: it seems to be going back in the right direction,

420
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:00,640
Speaker 6: but it should never have come.

421
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 2: To this Mike.

422
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:03,640
Speaker 4: There's a big worry amongst a lot of Husky fans

423
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,159
Speaker 4: of how he will assimilate with his team after leaving

424
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 4: the team. And I guess my question to you is

425
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 4: is it as big a deal in twenty twenty six,

426
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 4: when a mass amount of these kids have committed to schools,

427
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 4: decommitted from schools, transferred from schools.

428
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 3: Do you think these kids even care.

429
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,919
Speaker 4: That much what demand Williams did or we kind of

430
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 4: pass that because it's just such a transient sport now.

431
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 6: It will only matter if they get to spring practice

432
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 6: or fall camp or whatever and they can see a difference.

433
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,400
Speaker 6: If one eye looks like it's always at the door.

434
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 6: It will only matter in twenty twenty six.

435
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 2: If that's the case.

436
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,439
Speaker 6: If he comes back and he is the player and

437
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 6: teammate that he's supposed to be certainly at that price,

438
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 6: if he comes back and embraces the situation won't matter.

439
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 6: There is a little concern of are we going to

440
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,679
Speaker 6: go through this all again next year? Yeah, but I

441
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 6: think that if the Huskies have a great year of that,

442
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 6: that won't be a consideration. They've already shown that they're

443
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 6: willing and able to compensate him handsomely, and if they

444
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 6: have another great year, they'll do it again.

445
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 3: Yeah.

446
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 1: Well, Mike, the Coursi's Sporting News is with us, and

447
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 1: I just full transparency here. We were originally going to

448
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: have you on to talk about your article that you

449
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 1: wrote on Sam Darnald and then boom, the whole world

450
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: blew up with this Demon Williams story. So let's go

451
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: from one quarterback in town to the other. Major controversy

452
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 1: with one guy, but really no controversy with the other

453
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 1: guy unless you're just, you know, waiting for the guy

454
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: to fall flat on his face. I mean, Sam Donald's

455
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,679
Speaker 1: now twenty eight and six, Mike, and these last thirty

456
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: four regular season games, and he's got the Hawks in

457
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: position to make a run at the super Bowl. And

458
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 1: you kind of threw it out there the other day

459
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: that maybe we should be talking about this guy at

460
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 1: the MVP race.

461
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

462
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 6: There are two things that bother me about the MVP

463
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 6: award now in pro football, and this is probably true baseball. Two,

464
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 6: but I don't follow baseball that much, is how stat

465
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 6: driven it's become. It's all about stats. Well it doesn't

466
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,719
Speaker 6: say most you know, pretty player or whatever. Pretty as

467
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 6: stats or best you know, the best. It doesn't even

468
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 6: say best player on the trophy. It says most valuable.

469
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 6: And I don't know. I mean, I think you can

470
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 6: make an argument that Drake May's improvement made New England

471
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 6: a much better team. Yes, it was typical, somewhat typical

472
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 6: freshman to sophomore year improvement. It was exceptional in terms

473
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,719
Speaker 6: of the fact that he has great talent and so

474
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 6: therefore it's like when when you get a quarterback who's

475
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 6: really gifted. Usually the first year in Peyton Manning, this

476
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 6: was true, not much, but then the second year, once

477
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 6: they really get the job, then there's usually a significant

478
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:50,679
Speaker 6: escalation and May fits that.

479
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:51,120
Speaker 2: But May.

480
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 6: May's assignment wasn't as tough. It wasn't a third as

481
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 6: tough as what Sam faced. He had a bigger turnaround, Yeah,

482
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 6: but he had an easier, much easier schedule to go

483
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 6: against in doing that turnaround. The stats in terms of

484
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 6: the playoff teams and the challenges that May face not

485
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 6: even close. I mean, there were more playoff teams practically,

486
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 6: and there were I think there were more games against

487
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 6: playoff teams within the NFC West than May faced all year.

488
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 6: May conquered all year. That's the part that bothers me

489
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 6: is that, like any if, all you have to do

490
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 6: is look at the top of the passing leaders and say, wow, okay,

491
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 6: forty touchdown, eighty interceptions, four thousand yards whatever it was. Yeah,

492
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,399
Speaker 6: that's the MVP. I mean, anybody could vote that. But

493
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 6: these guys and ladies who have these votes, they're supposed

494
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 6: to know what says on the next page and the

495
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,479
Speaker 6: page after that and the page after that. That's what

496
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,239
Speaker 6: I'm looking for. I want to see that kind of

497
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 6: knowledge from them. And I look, you can make the

498
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 6: case for Matthew Stafford, but he was in the same

499
00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 6: division and came up short of what of what happened

500
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 6: in Seattle? And yeah, okay, Seattle d's great and all that,

501
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 6: but what's required of you and what do you deliver? Yes,

502
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 6: the one element that you could say, if you want

503
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 6: to say, not voting for him because too many picks,

504
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 6: I can't argue against that. It is too many picks.

505
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 6: Fourteen picks is too many picks. But I don't think

506
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 6: you can argue against the rest of my case, Mike.

507
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 4: I think there's a small minority, vocal minority of Seahawks

508
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 4: Nation that is anti Sam Donald. I think a majority

509
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 4: of Seahawks Nation is pro Sam Donald. But even though

510
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 4: that are pro, they worry about him down the stretch

511
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 4: in a big spot where he hasn't had a lot

512
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 4: of success in the past. What level of confidence do

513
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 4: you have him those spots and what would you tell

514
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 4: those fans?

515
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 6: Well, I think that I think it until you get

516
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 6: in there and do it, it's fair to say you

517
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 6: haven't done it. But I heard similar things. I mean,

518
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 6: I often think in college basketball terms, but I remember

519
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:00,959
Speaker 6: the days when Jim Calhoun hadn't done it yet, and

520
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 6: there were people who would tell you this was before

521
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 6: Twitter and it was out even without Twitter. They would

522
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,719
Speaker 6: tell you that Jim Calhoun couldn't get it done, like

523
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 6: Elite eight in ninety didn't get there, and Elite eight

524
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 6: and ninety five didn't get there, Sweet sixteen ninety six

525
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 6: didn't get there, all this kind of stuff, and then

526
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 6: he wins one in ninety nine and then you can't

527
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 6: stop him from winning. So give him a chance. Down

528
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 6: the stretch of this season, played three consecutive playoff teams

529
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 6: had terrific games in two of the three, good enough

530
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 6: in the Carolina game, and two of those were on

531
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 6: the road, and two of them were against the divisional

532
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 6: rivals that you had to outlast in one of the

533
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 6: great division competitions in the history of the league. If

534
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 6: he can't get it done in the big games, then.

535
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 2: How did they win?

536
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 6: Thirty eight thirty seven in overtime and he threw for

537
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 6: two hundred and seventy yards.

538
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:56,240

Speaker 1: to be number one in field goals made in Seattle

555
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 1: until a guy named Jason Myers unfortunately passed him earlier

556
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 1: this year, but they say records are meant to be broken.

557

00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 6: Man?

567
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:07,160

Speaker 2: Yes?

571
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, okay, so it's been a while. Man, it's good

572

Speaker 1: the Queen Ann Beer All that we'll talk about in

00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 1: a minute. But you know, Dick and I were just

579
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 1: talking there a little bit about how you know, Jason

580
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 1: Myers got you with the field goals made record.

581
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 3: But I gotta tell you, man, my.

582
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 1: My favorite Stephen Houchkimoman, I was talking to Dick about

583
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 1: this off the AAR has nothing to do with a

584
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 1: field goal that you made. It's got everything to do

585
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 1: with a field goal that you passed up on.

586
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 3: Do you know what I'm talking about.

587
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 7: By the way, Oh yeah, Oh of course I do.

588
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 7: Not many fans know about this one either. How do

589
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 7: you know that one?

590
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 1: Well, because I was at the game for I'm talking.

591
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 1: I just want to make sure we're talking about the

592
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 1: same thing. I'm talking about. Twenty fifteen NFC Championship. You're

593
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 1: looking at like a fifty three yard field goal on

594
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 1: fourth and five or fourth and six or whatever, and

595
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: you went out there, you gauge the win, you gauged everything.

596
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 3: And said, nap, I'm going to pass on this.

597
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: And then and then the next play, boom, Russell Wilson

598
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 1: to Jermaine Curse to take the lead.

599
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 7: You know, sometimes things just happen in your favor. I

600
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 7: really went out there and I was like, I've never

601
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 7: passed up a kick. That was the only kick I

602
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 7: passed up my whole career. So I was just feeling.

603
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 7: It was a gut instinct. I was like, this is

604
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 7: not a good idea to kick this coach got us

605
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 7: to the super Bowl. That game was but then hey,

606
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 7: we had I did have to make one a few

607
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 7: us a few minutes later from forty seven, I think

608
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 7: to put us up six because then the Niners had

609
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 7: to drive down and try to score a touchdown because

610
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 7: we were up six points. And that's when Term kipped

611
00:32:59,160 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 7: the ball.

612
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 3: I think he did.

613
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 4: No question about any soft you mentioned that the record

614
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:04,719
Speaker 4: Jason broke. But I'll tell you what I'm looking at, percentages.

615
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 4: Jason Myers does not hold a candle to Steven Hauschka

616
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 4: in field goal made percentage as a member of the

617
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 4: Seattle Seahawks. So you still have have that crown. Well,

618
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 4: let's let's compare that team. Let's compare that team that

619
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 4: you played on the back to back Super Bowl team

620
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 4: to to what you're seeing right now.

621
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 3: This is the first time since you've been a.

622
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 4: Seahawk that we've had a legitimate Super Bowl championship contender.

623
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 7: You know, when they played the Rams a couple of

624
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 7: weeks ago, I was telling people, it's like, I think

625
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 7: that's the biggest win the team's had, it felt like

626
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 7: the old days. I watched that game. I was so

627
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 7: so pumped up. It felt like the old days. I

628
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 7: mean that it's it's it's fun to see the city

629
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 7: come alive too. And just you know, I'm not I'm

630
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 7: not one of those guys holding on to the old days.

631
00:33:58,240 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 2: You know.

632
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 7: I'm really supporting this team and excited for all their success.

633
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 3: Stephen Hawskin with us and Steven.

634
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 1: The last time the Hawks had the number one seed

635
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen season, you were on that team and you

636
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 1: played in the Super Bowl. And there's already starting to

637
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 1: become some comparisons to that Lob defense, to the dark

638
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 1: Side defense that we're seeing now in Seattle. Do you

639
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 1: see any comps between the two defenses in your mind?

640
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 7: You know what I'll say about this defense, I'm just

641
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:26,880
Speaker 7: a kicker, man. I didn't I didn't know anything about football,

642
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 7: to be honest. So you guys, you guys see it though,

643
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 7: like there's some incredible players out there. But I got

644
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:38,359
Speaker 7: to say, these guys have come together. They play as

645
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 7: a team, and they never quit. They're so they're relentless.

646
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 7: I know it's a word Coach Nike uses a lot,

647
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 7: but they just keep coming in waves, and you know

648
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 7: it's it's what he's been trying to create since day one.

649
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 7: Is this this unstoppable force, and you can really feel

650
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 7: it out there. It's it's it's fun to watch, and

651
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 7: you know he's got such a tests that's a brilliant

652
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 7: mind to get all these incredible players in there, and

653
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:07,360
Speaker 7: obviously John Schneider getting all those players in there with

654
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 7: unique talents. It's it's cool to see it all happen.

655
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,919
Speaker 4: Take us back to the bye weeks. You went through

656
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 4: two of them in twenty thirteen and in twenty fourteen,

657
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 4: and this team now has to wait. They don't know

658
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 4: who they're gonna play yet. They got two weeks.

659
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 3: Was it?

660
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 4: What was that like? Was it you know, did it

661
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 4: feel like forever for the two weeks or did it

662
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 4: go by pretty quick?

663
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,319
Speaker 7: It was a nice little break. It's it's kind of

664
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 7: you need the time for your body, but it's also

665
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 7: it's challenging. It doesn't feel like a bye weekend season.

666
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 7: Bye weekend season. You feel like, hey, I can like

667
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 7: shut it down a little bit. There's plenty of time

668
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:45,839
Speaker 7: to get back into it. But this time of year,

669
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 7: if you let your body or mind shut it down,

670
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:51,800
Speaker 7: it's going to be hard to get it back online,

671
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 7: so you kind of kind of stay in it. But

672
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:57,960
Speaker 7: I think one of the years I went up to

673
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 7: Whistler and probably it was a dumb idea, but we

674
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 7: went out to dinner and turns out the dinner was

675
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:06,319
Speaker 7: up the mountain, and we took we went snowballbiling up

676
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 7: the mountain. And this was like a week before our

677
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 7: game and I was somehow snowmobiling up a mountain. I

678
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 7: had no idea what I was doing. So, you know,

679
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 7: urging the guys to make smart decisions this weekend.

680
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, no question, no doubt, man, No, No, it's.

681
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:28,399
Speaker 7: An odd it's an odd time of year to have,

682
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,959
Speaker 7: you know, three you know, have a handful of days

683
