Looking forward with my 5 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:24,000 Speaker 1: good buddy and someone that I've aspired to be like 6 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 1: for a long long time, Colin Coward, best sports talk 7 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 1: radio host in the business. For those who don't know, 8 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,640 Speaker 1: I'm John Middlecoff. If you're listening for the first time, 9 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 1: let me give you a little background on myself. I'm 10 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,919 Speaker 1: pretty active on social media if you follow me, a lot, 11 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,520 Speaker 1: lot of thoughts, a lot of opinions. That's why I've 12 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 1: transitioned nicely into the podcast game. Got my start, uh 13 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 1: in the sport of football. I worked. I went to 14 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 1: cal Poly. I had an internship my senior year working 15 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 1: for the Kansas City Chiefs on the business side. I 16 00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: kind of got my itch by helping out her Edwards 17 00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 1: and some people on his staff at night. It didn't 18 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: really lead to much, but I kind of opened my 19 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: eyes to the world and the sport of football and 20 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,319 Speaker 1: it was something that I wanted to try. And then 21 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:14,399 Speaker 1: I got the opportunity to get a staff position. Uh 22 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: graduate assistant ship at at Fresno State. One thing led 23 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: to another. My position dealt with the NFL scouts and 24 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 1: we were producing a ton of guys going to the league. UH. 25 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,679 Speaker 1: And then from there I got a position, an entry 26 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: level position with the Philadelphia Eagles. Andy Reid was a 27 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: head coach, Howie Roseman was the general manager. And yeah, 28 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: I got the job, actually got was hired the day 29 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: I interviewed, was offered the job definitely accepted right there. 30 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 1: Didn't pay much, worked long hours. I did that for 31 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: a couple of years. I was a pro scout, moved 32 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: to Philadelphia, born and raised in northern California, so it 33 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: was a pretty big shock, but it was pretty incredible experience. 34 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 1: My first year we made the playoffs. Second year was 35 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: the quote unquote dream team. That was not a dream team. 36 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: I think they went at eight and eight. Uh. The 37 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 1: following year, I became the West Coast Scout and did 38 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 1: that for a year and moved back to the West Coast, 39 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: which was you know, I was basically begging for the job. 40 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,799 Speaker 1: I wanted to come back to the West Coast so badly. 41 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 1: I'm not a big fan of the cold UH. And 42 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,079 Speaker 1: you know, I kind of needed to get out of 43 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: the office, so I got that opportunity, did it for 44 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: a year. Then Andy was fired and Chip came in. 45 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:30,079 Speaker 1: I lasted till about right after the draft. I don't 46 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: think Chip and I saw eye to eye exactly on 47 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,519 Speaker 1: what was gonna work in the NFL. I'm sure we'll 48 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 1: get into that a time or two on this podcast. 49 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: And then from that position that that was about April 50 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,079 Speaker 1: of two thousand thirteen, I've been doing the media thing 51 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: ever since, doing a bunch of different stuff, but for 52 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 1: the main most part, I had a radio show out 53 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: in the Bay Area for a long time, and now 54 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,919 Speaker 1: I've had the podcast for about a year.
