Okay, it's a free agent 67 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 3: re signing. Okay, it's an opportunity. What would be free. 68 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 3: What would freak me out is if the starting quarterback 69 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 3: of Washington left the team, right, that'd be a problem. 70 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 3: If he wasn't the starting quarterback this year, if we 71 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 3: were like most of these other programs out there that 72 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 3: lost their quarterback. We didn't, So I am not freaked 73 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 3: out about it at all. I hope our fans aren't 74 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 3: freaked out about it. We got an unbelievable quarterback that 75 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 3: I think has just gotten better since last season. He 76 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,839 Speaker 3: looks bigger, he looks stronger, he looks faster, He's more 77 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,360 Speaker 3: engaged in the offense than ever before. Maybe that's because 78 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 3: I'm in the quarterback room every day, so I know 79 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 3: it more than the last year or so. So I 80 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 3: think that our fans should be really excited about. 81 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 2: D Why did you make that move? Like you just 82 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 2: talked about, you're more involved now you're in the quarterback room. 83 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 2: There's no real coordinator and name on the roster. You 84 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 2: hired JP, obviously, But tell me what you saw last 85 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 2: year that made you make that move. 86 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 4: Yeah. I felt like. 87 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 3: We were probably just won too many voices, and a 88 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 3: lot of times I felt like we were in a 89 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 3: situation where he was getting double teamed you know, in 90 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 3: terms of something, we would make a correction and then 91 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 3: the correction would be made again, or you know, he'd 92 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 3: have to sit through a film watching with me, and 93 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 3: then you'd have to go into the quarterback room and 94 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 3: get a film watching again. 95 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 4: And I felt as if what was happening is. 96 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 3: We were losing the relationship that he and I that 97 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 3: I felt was so important, and that it became more 98 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 3: of like good cop, bad cop, and I don't think 99 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 3: that's what we needed. So I felt like what was 100 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 3: best for us was to have a situation where I 101 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 3: could be more attached to him, build that relationship even stronger, 102 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 3: and then in turn also bring in a veteran presence 103 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 3: like Matt Kavanaugh. 104 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 4: Who has just done it for so long and been around. 105 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 3: So much football that he's able to kind of give 106 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 3: more of a broad spectrum approach rather than the approach 107 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 3: of really us doing the same thing for six years. 108 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 6: How much are distractions real and how much are they 109 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 6: created by the media, And I'll give you some examples 110 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 6: the demand. 111 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 4: Situation you mentioned Arizona. 112 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 7: Tommy Lloyd's getting asked every single day. 113 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 6: Right now is he's preparing for the Final four, whether 114 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 6: he's going to North Carolina or not. Kaitlin de Borr 115 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 6: was asked every single day while he was preparing to 116 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 6: play Michigan in the National Championship whether he was going someplace. 117 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 6: So are are those media creation or are they they 118 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 6: legit to some extent? 119 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 3: You know, I was asked a lot too, by the way, 120 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 3: at the end of the least many a thing. Why 121 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 3: who guys? You know, like whatever answer you give is 122 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 3: never good enough. So, you know, I think it's kind 123 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 3: of funny. I'm sitting back and watching you know what 124 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:36,159 Speaker 3: answers people are giving, and uh, there's no good answer 125 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 3: other than I am one thousand percent signing a lifetime 126 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 3: contract and my name is Bill self, right, like there 127 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 3: to be one, there'd have to be one in front 128 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 3: of me to sign, right. 129 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 4: But I would say that. 130 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 3: You know, it's it's distractions are NonStop, and how you 131 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 3: deal with them and are you able to put it aside? 132 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 3: And what I think each coach's approach is very different, 133 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 3: right right, Lane's approach. I mean, could you imagine, I 134 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 3: said all the time, I couldn't even imagine being an 135 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 3: almost football player last year for whatever reason, just the 136 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 3: amount of talk of you know that that was constantly 137 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 3: going on, but they managed a way to handle distractions. 138 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 3: I would say the same thing that you know, it 139 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 3: looks certainly looked like Arizona. 140 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 4: Basketball's handling distractions exceptionally well. 141 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,599 Speaker 3: I mean, those guys are playing unbelievable. So I just 142 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 3: feel like it is what it is in this world 143 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,039 Speaker 3: that there's going to be. Just like I said last December, 144 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 3: if you have success or if people deem you as 145 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 3: somebody that they would be interested in talking to, it's 146 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 3: going to get out there. 147 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 4: The media is going to talk about it. The media 148 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 4: is going to assume it's happening. 149 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,840 Speaker 3: With that being the case, you got to be You 150 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 3: got to decide how you want to handle with your team, 151 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 3: You got to decide how you want to handle with 152 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 3: your family, and then you let it rip and then 153 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 3: you see what happens. 154 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 2: All right, If you remember us with Jetfish, Matt's behind me, 155 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:00,160 Speaker 2: tell me we've got to wrap up. 156 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 5: You don't want to cross him. He'll be in a 157 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 5: lake by the way. So let me just ask you this, what. 158 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,040 Speaker 2: Is your what position group do you have the most 159 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 2: confidence in right now? Besides quarterback? Let's just take quarterback 160 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 2: out of it. What position group do you feel the 161 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 2: best about right now and what group by the end 162 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 2: of spring ball do you want to see take the 163 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 2: biggest step. 164 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 4: I love our linebacker group right now. 165 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 3: I'm very high, very bullish on our linebacker group. You know, 166 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 3: I think we have four linebackers that have started a 167 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 3: substantial amount of football. I would bet if you put 168 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 3: the total starts in there of Jacob, Manu Buddha, and 169 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 3: x Ray in Power for or Division one football, you'd 170 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 3: have a ton of starts. And then Ads Adris Raanny 171 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 3: Sally who started the last six games or five games 172 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 3: of last season, who's an incredible football player, and you 173 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 3: add him in that equation. The amount of starts that 174 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 3: that group before has has got to be one of 175 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 3: the most, if not the most, in any linebacker room 176 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 3: in the country. 177 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 4: Uh So I feel great about that. 178 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 3: Uh your question was which group don't want to say 179 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 3: that I'd like to see. 180 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 4: I'd like to see what the defensive line. 181 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 3: Looks like at the end of spring Yeah, you know, 182 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 3: I love I think Alineus, Derrick Coman, Brussa, Conley Watts, 183 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 3: you know those guys on Mark Kahn. Uh And then 184 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 3: we got a couple more coming in in the spring. 185 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 3: But those guys have all, you know, really invested in 186 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 3: our bodies and invested in football, and I feel in 187 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 3: the two months or three months they've been here, but 188 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 3: you know, I feel like those guys on the interior 189 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 3: and then the edges, you know that with Jacob Laine, 190 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 3: Isaiah Ward being back, and then Low and George being here, 191 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 3: and then you know, continue to get Devin Hyde's improvement, 192 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 3: I think we're gonna have a really group. 193 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, you gotta go. 194 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 4: Hey, I'm the head coach. I love that. 195 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 5: Hear that. 196 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 4: I love that. 197 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 6: Well, let's talk about your running back room, because ever 198 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 6: since you've been here, Jed, the Husky fans haven't had 199 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 6: to worry about the running back. I mean, you turn 200 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 6: around handed to one, turn around to handed twenty four 201 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 6: and you're good. Right, Well, now one's gone, twenty four 202 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 6: is gone. So tell us about Lamar, tell us about Bonner. 203 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 6: Obviously we know Jordan Washington a little bit. How what's 204 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,680 Speaker 6: your comfort level handing the ball off to those guys 205 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 6: right now? 206 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 3: Very very high right now? But also I really want 207 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 3: to see what it looks like as we go. I 208 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 3: was watching today, you know, Jade Lamar Trey Cooley. Neither 209 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 3: of those guys are able to practice in the spring, 210 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 3: which gives Jordan Washington and Quaid Car a ton of reps. Okay, 211 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 3: so I'm getting to see them a lot. I got 212 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 3: to see what bonner and a suit looks like. A 213 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 3: couple of steps the other day. I think eight snaps 214 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:41,199 Speaker 3: each yesterday or Tuesday's practice. But I think Jordan Washington 215 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 3: is going to be a special running back, and I 216 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 3: believe that Quaid Car has all the skills of anyone 217 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 3: that we've ever had at that age, last year and 218 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 3: this year. 219 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,679 Speaker 4: So I'm excited about the group. 220 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,559 Speaker 3: And then of course when Jayden Lamar gets back and 221 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 3: Trey gets back, we should have some good debut. 222 00:09:58,480 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 4: YEA. 223 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 2: Well, we know the deal from the fans perspective in 224 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 2: the media. I mean, you talked about the narratives just 225 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 2: real quick, and you know the narrative is easy. We 226 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 2: all want to know how Jed Fish and Demand Williams 227 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 2: do against the best teams on their schedule. Right, It's 228 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 2: year three. Time to rock and roll. Why do you 229 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 2: feel like this will be different? Why is this offense? 230 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 2: Why is this football team ready to do things that 231 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 2: they have not done? 232 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 5: The first couple of years. 233 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I think it's always interesting, right, every 234 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 3: everything could be spun certain ways. I think the bottom 235 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 3: line is, you know, against the great defenses, no one's 236 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:36,559 Speaker 3: scoring a lot of points. And against the other defenses, 237 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 3: the good teams are scoring a lot of points. 238 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 4: I believe that. 239 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 3: You know, we went from one hundred and fourth in 240 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,599 Speaker 3: scoring offense to fifth to seventeenth in scoring offense in 241 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 3: the country. 242 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 4: We were top ten in red zone, top ten and 243 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 4: third down. 244 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,079 Speaker 3: So when you get to that level, you got to 245 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 3: do that for twelve thirteen games in a row. You know, 246 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 3: you look at Ohio State versus you know, Indiana, it's 247 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 3: a ten to seven game or a thirteen to ten, right, 248 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 3: Like that's what it's going to be. We have to 249 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 3: understand that, Like that is what you know. ASU versus 250 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 3: Washington in twenty three was what sixteen to seven or 251 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 3: whatever the number. Like, there are low scoring games in 252 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 3: this world. So we have to be able to handle that. 253 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 3: What we have to be able to do is we 254 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 3: have to score one more point than the other team. 255 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 3: So we scored seventeen more points in Illinois. We didn't 256 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 3: score seventeen more points than Michigan or Ohio State or 257 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 3: Oregon or Wisconsin. We got to find a way to 258 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 3: score one more point than those guys do. And if 259 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 3: we did that, then I think we'll be sitting there 260 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 3: in the top ten. And if we don't do that, yeah, 261 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 3: I think we'll be somewhere in the top twenty five. 262 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 2: And what we want to be well, look, I mean 263 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 2: they should have been a ten win football team last 264 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 2: year because they should have beaten Wisconsin. Yes, and if 265 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 2: they beat Wisconsin and they go ten and three, I 266 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 2: just think the the optics, guys of being a ten 267 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 2: win football team in year two, considering what he took 268 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 2: over when the roster got blown to bits when Klin left, 269 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 2: that would have looked and landed a lot differently. The 270 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 2: problem is you lose a game like Wisconsin, and people 271 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,839 Speaker 2: bitch about the loss to Wisconsin for weeks and weeks 272 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 2: and weeks because there's nothing you can do to make 273 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 2: up for it until you play Oregon three weeks later 274 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 2: and you got beat by them too, right, I mean, 275 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 2: you play Purdue, you play UCLA, two really bad football teams. 276 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 2: That's a frustration I think, guys, is you play a 277 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 2: team like Wisconsin, you score ten points, but then you 278 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 2: score ninety seven points in two weeks against Purdue at UCLA. 279 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 7: So I'm not asking the Huskies. 280 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 2: Excuse me, to score fifty points against Ohio State and 281 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 2: Michigan and teams like Oregon. I'm just asking them to 282 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 2: be functional, and they weren't even functional offensively. 283 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 7: They scored. 284 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 2: They scored thirteen points combined against Ohio State and Michigan. 285 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,080 Speaker 2: I mean, can it be thirty points combined? Can it 286 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 2: be forty points combined? Can you at least have some 287 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,559 Speaker 2: semblance of an offense that gives the app team a 288 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,200 Speaker 2: threat no matter how good the opposing defense. 289 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 6: Because I think the other side of the ball was fine. 290 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 6: The defense kept you in both those games, right, the 291 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 6: Ohio State game and the Oregon game. You just were 292 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,199 Speaker 6: not able to keep up offensively with him, And I 293 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 6: I mean, I just think that I think Husky fans 294 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,679 Speaker 6: would have been disappointed even at ten and three. It 295 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 6: would have been a different disappointment. We had the disappointment 296 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 6: early because we lost to Wisconsin. We knew we weren't 297 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 6: going to the playoffs, right, this would have. 298 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 7: Been a different November. What do you mean, what do 299 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,119 Speaker 7: you mean early? Earlier? 300 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 2: Right, November eighth, Right, But we saw what three games 301 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 2: left laft They were six and two. 302 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 7: Yeah, here's the difference. 303 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 6: We would have gone into the Oregon game and that 304 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 6: would have been our letdown. Oregon would have kicked us 305 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 6: out of the playoffs. 306 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 7: I almost, I. 307 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,559 Speaker 6: Almost would have rather had it been done the way 308 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,559 Speaker 6: it was and we knew that we weren't going to 309 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 6: the playoffs, versus going to that game and knowing if 310 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 6: we beat Oregon we're going to the playoffs and having 311 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 6: our arch rivals us out of the playoffs. 312 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 2: Well, but I never thought they were beating Oregon anyway, 313 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 2: you know, honestly, I just didn't think they were ready 314 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,439 Speaker 2: for that, So I would not have been surprised. 315 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 7: I don't think you would have been surprised. 316 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 2: Wos well, but it's hard to be that disappointed when 317 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 2: you kind of expected. I mean, you do you. I 318 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 2: would not have been that disappointed because I would have 319 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 2: thought it was coming. So I would have much rather 320 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 2: have beaten Wisconsin and rode that train for three weeks 321 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 2: heading into the Oregon game, gotten more national attention on 322 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 2: this football team than they had gotten since Klein left 323 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 2: for Alabama. I think it's exactly what the team would 324 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 2: have needed, and who knows, maybe because they had more 325 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 2: to play for, maybe they would have rallied against the 326 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 2: Ducks and played even better. 327 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 7: Maybe they would have lost, but the game would have 328 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 7: been closed. That's the world you can. 329 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 8: You can't go down, but we can try to go 330 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 8: down and say listen, if they start to think, like, 331 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 8: wait a second, we could do something here, you just 332 00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 8: I mean, it's right, you'll get bearra. 333 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 7: How much of the game is mental? Right, It's that. 334 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 8: If you if you set up the situation where they're 335 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 8: going into that game in a very different mental mindset 336 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 8: of guys, not only can we ruin them, but we 337 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 8: can give. 338 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 7: Ourselves a shot. Right. Maybe that's just the inch they 339 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 7: needed to others. 340 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 2: It was a far owing game, but still, you know, 341 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 2: well that was a thirteen to seven game at halftime, 342 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 2: the organ game. Yes, I mean, you know, offense had 343 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 2: the one drive and the defense was playing pretty well. 344 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 2: So if they were able to do that with nothing 345 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 2: to play for, who knows what they would have done 346 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 2: was something to play for. But I just think that 347 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 2: in general terms, taken just kind of why I disagree 348 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 2: with you. The longer you can go in the mix, right, yeah, 349 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 2: the back off. 350 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 7: You are, I got it. No, I understand that. 351 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 6: I mean, I think the Husky fans are still just 352 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 6: going to judge their seasons from here on out. Whether 353 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 6: did you make the playoffsge you not make it right, 354 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 6: and they should and that's the only way they're going 355 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 6: to judge them. And so I think they would have 356 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 6: been a letdown either way. But you know, the one 357 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 6: thing you look at, the ESPN's got the rankings at 358 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 6: the end of the year, and they do the CFPAP 359 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 6: Coaches Poll for rankings. 360 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 7: They also do the analytics rankings. 361 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 6: The Huskies were a far better analytics rankings team than 362 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 6: they were by votes. I mean in the sp plus, 363 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 6: I mean the Huskies were number thirteen in the country 364 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 6: right in the Football Power Index, they were number twenty one, 365 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 6: and yet they weren't ranked, So they weren't on anybody's 366 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 6: radar other than the computers. 367 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 7: And so maybe that went over Wisconsin. 368 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 6: You're right, probably would have got them at least on 369 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 6: the perception radar going into that organ. 370 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 2: Well, let me ask you this with that trying to 371 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 2: be a smartest, all right, why is that relevant to you? 372 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 6: Because I think that analytics means something when ranking teams, 373 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 6: and that's and that's why the NCAA Tournament uses it. 374 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 6: And that's why I don't think the College Football Playoffs 375 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 6: uses as much as the NCAA Tournament does. But we 376 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 6: have seen in the last couple of years when the 377 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 6: NCAA Tournament selection committee has gone more to analytics like 378 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 6: the ones I just mentioned, you get a much more 379 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 6: accurate brack and you get much more chalky because the 380 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 6: actual better teams are the actual better seeds. 381 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 2: See I could I could go with you on that. 382 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,400 Speaker 2: If the Huskies were sniffing the tournament, which they really 383 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,639 Speaker 2: weren't last year. I mean, once they lost to Wisconsin, 384 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,959 Speaker 2: they were done finished. So if they were the thirteenth 385 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,920 Speaker 2: team or the first team out or the second team out, 386 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,400 Speaker 2: you can say, hey, look they're making all this progress. 387 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 2: It's great, and I do think they are making progress. 388 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 2: But I don't know. I mean, I almost get uncomfortable 389 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,440 Speaker 2: bringing up rankings like that because they're not relevant. 390 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 7: Why are they brought up so much in basketball? 391 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 4: Then? 392 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 2: Because I think there's sixty eight teams in the tournament, 393 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:44,400 Speaker 2: number one versus twelve and number two. I also think 394 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 2: that it's a lot more stat driven in basketball, right 395 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,959 Speaker 2: you're talking about individuals. We're talking about all these different 396 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 2: websites and stuff that track this stuff. But I don't 397 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,159 Speaker 2: think it's even really relevant in basketball either. All you 398 00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,400 Speaker 2: should care about is a fan, is what your team 399 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 2: does at the end of the year. Are you playing 400 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 2: for a title? Are you not playing for a title? 401 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 2: Are you challenging for the conference championship? Are you not 402 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 2: challenging for the conference championship? Are you getting better? Two 403 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 2: of those three things they're not doing. One of them 404 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,119 Speaker 2: they are, which is getting better. Now it's year three, 405 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,879 Speaker 2: Now it's time. Now it's time for this team to 406 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 2: start talking about making the College Football Playoff and being 407 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 2: in the race for something more than just a middling 408 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 2: team in the Big Ten. So, I mean, if I 409 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,359 Speaker 2: were to go with you on the analytics stuff, I 410 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 2: would say, Hey, if you want to tell me that 411 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:37,440 Speaker 2: the analytics show that Washington's improving, then that's great, absolutely, 412 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,440 Speaker 2: because they are moving in the right direction and the 413 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,159 Speaker 2: numbers show that they're moving in the right direction. But 414 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,199 Speaker 2: we had this conversation last year, and I'll have it 415 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 2: with you right now again. What is Jedfish's signature moment 416 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 2: at Washington. Where's that signature victory, Where's that one big 417 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 2: win that shows that his way is capable of winning 418 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,639 Speaker 2: titles and competing in the Big Ten for a championship. 419 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,679 Speaker 2: He doesn't have it yet, right, I mean, his biggest 420 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 2: win might be the boys state game in the LA Bowl, honestly, 421 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,919 Speaker 2: or the Illinois. Illinois ended up being kind of a 422 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 2: team when it was all said and. 423 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,679 Speaker 7: Done, Well, they won nine games r right. 424 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, but so did we and we're like whatever. I mean, 425 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 2: that's the middle of the road. And you're a nine 426 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 2: win team because you played three crap teams in your 427 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 2: non conference schedule and won all three of them and 428 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 2: then you beat them Mountain West team. Right, but you're 429 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:28,719 Speaker 2: five and four in the Big Ten. Five and four 430 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 2: of the Big Ten is not good enough. Talk to 431 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 2: me when they're seven and two, right, Hell, how about 432 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 2: just talk to me when they're six and three and 433 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:37,479 Speaker 2: maybe they go six and three next year, I mean 434 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 2: the tournament, right, but they should be at minimum a 435 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 2: six and three Big Ten team next season? 436 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 5: All right? 437 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,399 Speaker 2: If you, if you just automatically chalk up and I 438 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 2: hate doing this, but let's just do it for shiggles 439 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 2: and gets the organ game of the Indiana game is losses. 440 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,399 Speaker 2: Then they kick one they're not supposed to, right Nebraska 441 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 2: the USC. That's six wins right there. This team should 442 00:19:58,040 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 2: have a real shot to be a seven and two 443 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 2: Big Ten team next year.

When I I asked 511 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 6: this question, dog fans, is your feeling for Jed Fish 512 00:22:58,520 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 6: mostly positive? 513 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 7: Negative? What was your predicted percentage that you gave us yesterday? 514 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:07,119 Speaker 8: Well, I wasn't on the area yesterday, that's right, question, 515 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:08,360 Speaker 8: and was like, what the hell. 516 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 4: I'm guessing? 517 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 2: Anders said negative. Both of us said it would be negative. 518 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 6: Yeah, yes, I thought it would be slightly positive, but 519 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,359 Speaker 6: not as much as it has been yes, seventy seven 520 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 6: to twenty three. 521 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 7: About that the fishman coming through? How about the fishman? 522 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,440 Speaker 7: People like the fish? I don't, But all I hear 523 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,640 Speaker 7: is complaining about those because that's what you hear. That's 524 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 7: what you hear. That's what I hear. The same thing 525 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 7: with the NBA, that's what I hear. 526 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 4: Yes, the. 527 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 7: NBA too, Yes, look at the ratings, yes, and the 528 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:39,639 Speaker 7: ratings are big. 529 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 4: Right. 530 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 8: It's so it's social media and it's the vocal minority 531 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 8: that craps on jetfish, that crops on the NBA. All 532 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 8: you have to do is look at the numbers, because 533 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 8: the numbers don't. 534 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,360 Speaker 2: Ask you a question. You were there yesterday, right, What 535 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,359 Speaker 2: conversation did we have with Jedfish after the interview was 536 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 2: over walking out to the practice field. What did I 537 00:23:58,760 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 2: say to Jetfish? 538 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 6: You can you said that we are positive about him? 539 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,399 Speaker 2: I said, you only hear the bad stuff. That's what 540 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 2: I told him. Because he's making a crack, because he's 541 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:11,400 Speaker 2: walking away. 542 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 7: But craping him. 543 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:14,720 Speaker 2: I was like, you know what, dude, stop and I 544 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 2: brought him back and I said, you only hear the negative. 545 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 2: Coaches only hear the negative. Like how many times do 546 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 2: you see a coach walk up to a media member 547 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 2: or anybody or a fan say hey, I really appreciate 548 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 2: those nice words. Never never, You never hear that. You 549 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,440 Speaker 2: only hear when a coach is pissed off and angry 550 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:33,480 Speaker 2: at somebody. 551 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 7: Okay, whatever, right. 552 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 2: I mean, there's a lot of reasons to be positive 553 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 2: about Jed Fish, and there's a lot of reasons to 554 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 2: be slightly skeptical. I mean, look, I don't know what 555 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,880 Speaker 2: his future is, and frankly, right now, I don't even care. 556 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 2: All I care about is what the guy's doing while 557 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,440 Speaker 2: he's here. How long will that last? I don't know, Okay, 558 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,160 Speaker 2: but I think he's working his ass off. I've said 559 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,640 Speaker 2: this before many times on the radio show. I've never 560 00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 2: been around a husky football head coach who's got his 561 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 2: ear on more parts of the football team than Jedfish does. 562 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 2: And I'll give you an example of that. I've given 563 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 2: this example before, I'll do it again. His first year 564 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:11,440 Speaker 2: on the job, somebody was outside the team room in 565 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,399 Speaker 2: the hallway and the tunnel asking who was on the 566 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,160 Speaker 2: call that weekend for the Big ten network TV broadcast. 567 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,399 Speaker 2: Jedfish is standing there and blurts it out, it's this 568 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 2: guy in that guy right, Like I don't ever remember 569 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,680 Speaker 2: a head coach off the top of his head remembering 570 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 2: who's calling the game for TV, because who cares who's 571 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 2: calling the game for TV. But it's things like that, 572 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,200 Speaker 2: you know, he's always on it. He's got his finger 573 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 2: on the pulse of everything involved, from the tickets being sold, 574 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 2: to the advertisements, to traffic outside a mountain, like how 575 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,360 Speaker 2: long it takes fans to get in the stadium. 576 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:45,720 Speaker 7: I'm telling you, it's crazy. 577 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:47,919 Speaker 6: Isn't that half the battle, or more than half the battle? 578 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 6: That he is working his ass off hard touch with 579 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,360 Speaker 6: all those things every coach does. 580 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,399 Speaker 2: Yes, well, not every coach is tyrone, lazy ass willingham. Okay, 581 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 2: all of these coaches that should be the stand. That 582 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,639 Speaker 2: should be the norm, right, Having a lazy ass coach 583 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 2: who does nothing should not be the norm. But what 584 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 2: Jetfish does is the norm. And again, what that means 585 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,879 Speaker 2: for winning and losing, I don't know. I'm just saying 586 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 2: that I'm impressed by that, that he's that deep into 587 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 2: the weeds. And maybe sometimes he's too deep into the weeds. 588 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:20,440 Speaker 2: And when he told us yesterday he heard at the 589 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 2: interview right there, he's now spending weight, he's more time 590 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 2: with the quarterbacks, and he's streamlining everything right, Like they 591 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,160 Speaker 2: got rid of Jimmy Doherty, who just got a job 592 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 2: with the Seahawks, by the way, and Jimmy Doherty was 593 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 2: the offensive coordinator. Jetfish is basically now the offensive coordinator. 594 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,359 Speaker 2: They did not hire an oc there's no ocan name 595 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 2: on the team. So the film study, the game plan, 596 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 2: there's not three voices. There's one voice, and it's Jed 597 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,399 Speaker 2: And I'm curious if demand benefits from that. 598 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,360 Speaker 8: It does make me wonder given that current college head 599 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 8: coaches are very much like CEOs, where you do have 600 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 8: to look over everything. I mean, was it North Carolina 601 00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,640 Speaker 8: where we made in the headlines of Bill Belichick's the coach, 602 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 8: but they're hiring an actual general manager right to right, 603 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 8: you know, oversee all the how many programs are going 604 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 8: to go that down that direction where you don't have 605 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,920 Speaker 8: Jedfish covering how quickly it takes fans to get into 606 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 8: the building, all these separate things. You have an actual 607 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:17,160 Speaker 8: like business head coach, business general manager, and you let 608 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 8: coaches coach all all Belichick because it does feel like 609 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,879 Speaker 8: there's only so much you can pile on to the 610 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 8: current head coach model before they break. 611 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 6: Well, I'm just glad that the fan base, if this 612 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,920 Speaker 6: pole is any indication at all, that the fan base 613 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 6: is mostly positive on Jedfish, because I think your program 614 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:39,320 Speaker 6: is healthier. Your program is healthier when everybody's growing in 615 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 6: the same direction and you don't have a huge percentage 616 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,200 Speaker 6: of people like I hate the head coach, right. 617 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 2: Okay, but I'll just throw this in then, and I 618 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:49,680 Speaker 2: would like to have it like that. 619 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 7: I think it needs to be organic. Number one. 620 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,199 Speaker 2: I don't want people waking up just being lemmings and 621 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 2: just saying, oh, like head coach, right, of course, but 622 00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,919 Speaker 2: it doesn't help when the quarterback tries to quit the team. 623 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,879 Speaker 7: Okay, part of it, right, But that's not Fish's fault. 624 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,160 Speaker 2: I'm not saying it is Fish's fault, but I'm saying 625 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,919 Speaker 2: that when you talk about Husky fans and the pulse 626 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,919 Speaker 2: of Husky Nation, what is the number one conversation still 627 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 2: probably from a lot of people's perspectives about it's about 628 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 2: the quarterback. It's about demand. And I think if he 629 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 2: gets off to a slow start, I think he's gonna 630 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:21,879 Speaker 2: get barbecued. 631 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 7: He's gonna get killed, which he won't be. 632 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,880 Speaker 2: I'm just saying if he does, Okay, if something stupid 633 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,879 Speaker 2: happens like that cougar loss a couple of years ago at. 634 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:32,720 Speaker 7: Lumenfield, He's gonna hear it. 635 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,439 Speaker 2: And he has put himself in a position to not 636 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 2: have any slack from anybody if things go south. And 637 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 2: so I'm with you, I actually believe it's going to 638 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 2: go the other way. I think he's gonna kick ass. 639 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not necessarily a big fan of what 640 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,000 Speaker 2: he did. I think that's obvious by now so the 641 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 2: things I've said on the air and on social media. 642 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,479 Speaker 2: But I think he is going to actually kill it 643 00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 2: this year. I think Demon Williams is going to crush 644 00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 2: it because of their schedule, he's a third year guy. 645 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 2: Coaching staff is set up differently. I think Demon Williams 646 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 2: is going to be in a really good spot to 647 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 2: have a lot of success, and I hope that he 648 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 2: does because selfishly, it benefits me all I care about 649 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 2: with demand. I don't care where Damon goes. I don't 650 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 2: care what Demon does in the NFL. I don't care 651 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 2: what kind of money he makes. I want him if 652 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 2: he's gonna be here, win me some freakin games. 653 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 7: Dude, totally with you, Perry. 654 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 6: My joy in the fall is largely dependent on what 655 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 6: the Huskies and Seahawks record is. 656 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:29,000 Speaker 7: And if Demon. 657 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,240 Speaker 6: Williams can help me have more joy in my life 658 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 6: because the Husky record is good, then so be it. 659 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 6: I don't care if he's making three four million dollars 660 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 6: or if he wanted to go to LSU. 661 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:40,479 Speaker 2: Our hardball pregame show is coming next on ninety three 662 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 2: to three KJRFM play Ball. 663 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 9: Welcome to SAFTI in Dick's Hardball Pregame Show presented by 664 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 9: Pimco the Insurance you get.

Oh, 716 00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 6: it's hard, four or five odds to win the American 717 00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,520 Speaker 6: League Championship. We're talking about that over the off season. 718 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:31,280 Speaker 6: New York Cleveland. I mean, this is this is your series. 719 00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 6: You gotta make some Hey, you never want to assume 720 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,840 Speaker 6: a sweep, but I would be massively disappointed if they 721 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:38,200 Speaker 6: didn't pull out two wins this year. 722 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I mean you gotta We talked about that 723 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 2: over the offseason, that the Guardians, the Yankees, the Rangers, 724 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,520 Speaker 2: the Astros, and then a good San Diego team and 725 00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:50,720 Speaker 2: the Rangers again through the first what would that be 726 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:57,240 Speaker 2: three six, nine, twenty five games, thirteen sixteen, nineteen twenty 727 00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:00,840 Speaker 2: three games. I mean, if you go, you know, I 728 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,440 Speaker 2: don't know, thirteen and ten or even twelve and. 729 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 7: Eleven, I think you sign up, you kind of take. 730 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,120 Speaker 2: It, just kind of float above water, right, and then 731 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,520 Speaker 2: beat up on the bad teams. I mean, we talked 732 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:11,560 Speaker 2: about this last year. 733 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:11,960 Speaker 7: Guys. 734 00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:14,200 Speaker 2: That's how you do it, right, That's how you make 735 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,800 Speaker 2: the playoffs. Until you get to the World Series by 736 00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,400 Speaker 2: taking care of the crap and hanging in there against 737 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:19,840 Speaker 2: the good team. 738 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:20,120 Speaker 4: Yeah. 739 00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:23,120 Speaker 7: I think you made a list last year. He's referenced 740 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:24,200 Speaker 7: does a great job of the steat. 741 00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 4: Yeah. 742 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:28,000 Speaker 6: And most teams that are ninety ish win teams like 743 00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,320 Speaker 6: the Mariners should be, and like the Mariners are almost 744 00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 6: every year this decade are teams that go five hundred 745 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:37,440 Speaker 6: about against the winning teams, right, and then the res 746 00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:39,240 Speaker 6: and then they take care of it. They get there, 747 00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:42,480 Speaker 6: They get their eighteen to twenty games over five hundred 748 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:43,959 Speaker 6: against the dregs of the league. 749 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:48,480 Speaker 2: So they were last year Toronto, assuming the Mariners were 750 00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,360 Speaker 2: forty seven and Mariners were actually a bit of an anomaly, 751 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,160 Speaker 2: they were actually better against the better teams. They were 752 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,400 Speaker 2: forty seven and forty three against the plus five hundred 753 00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:01,440 Speaker 2: teams and forty three and twenty nine against everybody else. 754 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,440 Speaker 2: They won more games with the percentage was better obviously 755 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:05,880 Speaker 2: against the bad teams is my appointment. 756 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:06,720 Speaker 7: They won more games. 757 00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:10,120 Speaker 2: They actually played more games, I guess, but their percentage 758 00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:12,000 Speaker 2: was way better. I'm trying to find an example of 759 00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,279 Speaker 2: a team that made the playoffs a year ago. Here 760 00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,600 Speaker 2: the Guardians, the Guardians were forty two and forty seven 761 00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 2: against the plus five hundred teams and forty six and 762 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:23,959 Speaker 2: twenty seven against everybody else. 763 00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,320 Speaker 7: All right, they just made their head correct teams correct, 764 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:27,960 Speaker 7: that's how you win. 765 00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,799 Speaker 2: The Brewers were forty six and thirty eight against the 766 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,960 Speaker 2: good teams and fifty one and twenty seven against the 767 00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 2: bad team forty nine and forty one and forty five 768 00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 2: and twenty seven. 769 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,200 Speaker 7: So they were good against good teams, but they were 770 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:42,319 Speaker 7: better against the bad teams. 771 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,359 Speaker 6: Well, I mean, was there any team that's that's better 772 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,840 Speaker 6: against the good teams than the bad teams? 773 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:47,640 Speaker 7: I can't imagine that. 774 00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:51,600 Speaker 2: This isn't sorted by percentage, it's just sorted by total wins. 775 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,520 Speaker 2: The Dodgers were forty eight and thirty seven and forty 776 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,719 Speaker 2: five and thirty two. The Phillies were ten games over 777 00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,560 Speaker 2: against the good teams and twenty games aver against the 778 00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:01,120 Speaker 2: back So the. 779 00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:04,359 Speaker 6: Dodgers, really, that wasn't that much difference between playing above 780 00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,239 Speaker 6: five hundred eleven games over versus thirteen. You know, I 781 00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:10,399 Speaker 6: think the Dodgers basically were bored for six months last year. 782 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:10,880 Speaker 7: Probably. 783 00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,920 Speaker 6: I think they could not give a crap what happened 784 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,120 Speaker 6: between April and October last year, it was all about 785 00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:17,240 Speaker 6: mid October to November. 786 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:17,520 Speaker 7: Yeah. 787 00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:19,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, the Marrions were forty seven and forty There were 788 00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:21,880 Speaker 2: four games up against the good teams, and they were 789 00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:25,120 Speaker 2: fourteen games over against the bad teams. So there's a 790 00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:28,080 Speaker 2: there's a correlation there, man, that you're just gonna You're 791 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:31,720 Speaker 2: gonna play more games against sub five hundred teams likely, 792 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:35,240 Speaker 2: and you gotta clean up. You got to absolutely clean 793 00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 2: up against those teams, man, And the Mariners did that, 794 00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:40,760 Speaker 2: and the Toronto Blue Jays did that, and the Brewers 795 00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:42,520 Speaker 2: did that, and that's how they made the playoffs. 796 00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:46,800 Speaker 6: You mentioned Trout, and it just brings back horrendous Scott 797 00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:51,160 Speaker 6: Service memories. The guy refused for years and years and 798 00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,480 Speaker 6: years to walk Mike Trout. He was just like, no, 799 00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:56,520 Speaker 6: I'm gonna I'm gonna be stubborn and I'm gonna pitch 800 00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,560 Speaker 6: to Mike Trout, and Mike Trout just killed him every 801 00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:00,000 Speaker 6: single time. 802 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,160 Speaker 2: Let's see what Dan Wilson does tonight. Maybe he's got 803 00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:04,760 Speaker 2: a little Scott Service in him too. He's a different 804 00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:06,799 Speaker 2: Trout than he was five years ago, no, no doubt, 805 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,200 Speaker 2: but he's he's still good, right, He's still good. We're 806 00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:09,760 Speaker 2: going to break
