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

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
