Speaker 1 (00:00):
I want to remind you that many people in western
(00:02):
Washington have found themselves flooded out of their homes, without food, clothing,
for a place to stay. You can help provide the essentials,
the essentials for people displaced by the floods by donating
to the Red Cross right now. You can donate online
through the Red Cross Northwest Region website or text the
word red Cross. That's the easiest way. I think text
(00:22):
red Cross to nine zero. It's a lot of nines,
red Cross to nine zero, nine nine nine right now
to make a donation, so big thanks to the Red Cross.
And we're thinking about all the people affected by the
floods in the region.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
See, yeah, it's basically under I did I did see that.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
I was driving out to the golf club on Sunday
afternoon and the I guess it'd be going from the
east to the west of is it five sixteen at
the bottom of Kent des Moines Hill that goes to
one sixty seven. The entire lane going west was shut down,
flooded and it looked like Riverbend golf Course was entirely underwater.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
But yeah, Dixon's supposed to have a tournament there on Monday.
I caught it a Winter Classic. They've shrunken it to
nine holes because they said the back nine' underwater.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Well he could do what he could do.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
What two hundred im by the way, or at fifty
at River Bends. He gonna be no golf going on
down there, man. But anyway, we got a lot of
stuff going on today. The gas man's gonna hop I'm
gonna wanting to have Mike on for a few days here.
Ever since Indiana be at Ohio State. He was out
there with his brother man. So just an awesome scene
for who's your fans get his thoughts on this run
by Indiana Football obviously in the CFP, awaiting their second
(01:35):
round matchup at the Rose Bowl. Mike's gonna go to that,
by the way, so good for him. John Wilner will
join us on the radio show. Jamie Munson, our friend
from Simply Seattle's gonna hop on as well and talk
about a great thing they're doing to raise money for
Fred hutch at five point forty five. You can benefit
from that too and get your holiday shopping done at
Simply Seattle. And then some fun with audio as well.
(01:58):
Coming up tonight, we do have a text into our
friend Siren Petro by the way at WHB and Keansas
City and get his thoughts on the closing of the window.
At least for now, it can open again, right every
time you got Mahomes, the window can open again. But
we all knew this was going to come to an end,
and it came to an end the other night with
Patrick Mahomes blowing his knee out and that loss the
(02:20):
other day.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
So I don't know, I was telling you guys off
the ear. This just kind of all of a sudden.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
I don't know why I think like this, and maybe
I'm just completely being an idiot with this take. It
just feels like all of the signs are lining up
for the Buffalo Bills to finally make their run and
get to a Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
AFC is wide open.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
They staved off the Patriots on the weekend, they were
down twenty one to nothing, found a way to win
that game. Their defense isn't great, obviously, but they're outscoring everybody.
They got Josh Allen, who now a lot of people
are saying that Josh Allen might actually find a way
to win the MVP again. It just feels like with
the Chiefs out of the way with the parody and
the AFC that this kind of doesn't it feel like,
(03:02):
all of a sudden, the latest flavor of the month
is the Buffalo Bills, and now they're lining up to
finally get their due and get back to a Super Bowl.
I mean kind of, They're they're the flavor of the
decade not named the Chiefs, right, They're kind of the
next in line. And I've always been one that I
usually air to the side of that type of team, right,
(03:22):
I don't usually jump on the wagon of kind of
an upstart out of nowhere New England Patriots, Denver Broncos,
Chicago Bears. I'm like, Okay, who's been the team that
has gone through the battles and gotten the closest but
hasn't gotten over the top yet?
Speaker 2 (03:37):
And the answer that question is twofold.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
In the AFC, it's Baltimore and it's Buffalo, and I
think ball I think Buffalo is a slightly better team
than Baltimore. But would it shock anybody if Baltimore got
hot over the next month and made it to the
Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Nothing would shock me in the AFC, nothing would shock
me in the NFC. It would shocked me if the
Eagles found a way to figure it out and started
playing better football. I mean, it's ridiculous, man. The amount
of parody in the NFL right now, now, it's stupid.
And look, I know you're not the biggest Sean McDermott
fan obviously out there, but I just wonder.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Dick Well who who?
Speaker 1 (04:07):
And this is not Buffalo Bill's radio, I get that.
Normally when the Bills lose in the playoffs, they lose
to who, They lose to Patrick Mahomes, or they lose
to Lamar Jacks, right, right?
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Do they have a really awful loss in the playoffs?
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Didn't they lose to the under him Jaguars or something
like that?
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Is there a game where Buffalo lost in the postseason
to like an inferior quarterback and inferior team that they
just had no business losing to?
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Twenty twenty two, they lost to Joe Burrow. Twenty three,
they lost to Patrick Mahomes. Right, twenty twenty four they
lost to Patrick Mahomes. You go back to twenty twenty one,
they lost to Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Let's go back to twenty.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Patrick Mahomes money twenty twenty Nick Mahmes twenty nineteen. They
lost to the Houston Texas, but they were really that's it.
I mean they were ten and seven. Yeah, they weren't
a great So my point is this, And I feel
like I'm kind of like defending McDermott here for a
second for all the people out there that hate the guy.
I mean, what's he supposed to do? Like he runs
into buzzsaws. If there was any other era, if there
(05:07):
was ten years from now, fifteen years ago, how many
Buffalo bill super Bowls are there with this guy, Josh Allen.
He just keeps running into these unbelievable quarterbacks and unbelievable teams.
And I realized that Josh Allen's also supposed to be unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
I get that, But is there really.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Any shame in the teams that Sean McDermott has lost
to in all.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
But two years they were on the road.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Yeah, And and so you're the worst at that, absolutely worst.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Like how long have you been doing radio? For a
long time?
Speaker 3 (05:43):
I don't know, three years, But I never turn it on,
So I'm no wondering Hawayatt turns on it.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
I go in and turn it on.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
I think you do you turn it on because you
just had to turn it off. If you ever listen
to this radio station and you'll hear a notification from
somebody's computer, it's like my us eight thousand fans leftops, Okay,
go ahead.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
So only two years have they lost at home? Most
of them been on the road. And maybe that's one
of Bill's fans.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
You know.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Criticisms is like get the one seed, man, you have
Josh Allen.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Get the one seed and you don't have to.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
But that's again, but that's hard when you're going when
Mahomes is at the same conference.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
So how I know I'm rooting for him. I'm rooting
for McDermott. I'm running for Buffalo.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
I am too, and I'd be afraid, honestly if it's
if the Seahawks are in the Super Bowl. Yeah, I
don't want to see Josh Allen.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Of course. I much rather see Bo Nicks or Drake
May than Josh Allen.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Well yeah, I mean, but but Denver is a higher
But Denver has a ben still win the Super Bowl
right now than they don't care does.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
We had the same conversation about the baseball playoffs. Would
you rather be the two seed or the five seed
or the three seed or that. I mean, that's just
all about matchups, right, And you're absolutely correct. I mean
you got to be. If anybody would disagree with that,
you're an idiot. You'd rather face Josh Allen and a
guy who has really made the playoffs for the first
(07:03):
time in his life. And as it is, what second
or third year in the NFL, second year in the NFL, right,
Drake main Bonix or number second year guys? Correct them,
the two of them. I mean, yeah, obviously I'd rather
face those guys.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
I could make an argument that I would rather face Denver,
New England than Houston.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Yeah, Houston's really good.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Houston's might hold us to thirteen points if we played them.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Well, did you see the way the offense played over
the weekend against the Colts case? So, I mean they
absolutely can be held to thirteen points by a Houston
Texan football team. I just wonder this game on Thursday
night that I was looking at it. The Athletic does
a playoff simulator.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
It's pretty fun. Have you goofed around with that? It's fun?
All right?
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Go home and Athletic dot Com play with your playoff simulator.
Play with right, Well, don't do that, wait until the
show's over. According to The Athletic, the Rams odds of
winning the NFC West with a win or at ninety
five percent. With a loss, they're at twenty six percent.
Seahawks odds of a division championship with a win fifty
(08:03):
five percent. Seahawk odds with a loss are at two percent.
I guess they're leaving the remaining three for San Francisco
if the Rams win this game on Thursday night, Because guys,
here's the thing. If the Rams win this game on Thursday,
They've got the number one tiebreaker, which is head to head. Okay,
they're also going to have an advantage in the division games.
It'll be four and two versus I believe, is it
(08:25):
two and three? Where are they at right now in
the standings? Yeah, because the Hawks are The Hawks would
be two and three in the Rams be four and two,
so they would have the number one and number two
tiebreakers over the Seahawks. And you said the Rams have
the common games right now? Yes, the Rams correct.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
If the Seahawks win over the Rams but then lose
one of the last two games, yes, and the Rams
win the last two games yes, we do not win
the division, and the Hawks have the way harder finale.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
They got Carolina San Francisco on the road, the Rams
are at Atlanta, and then they get the host Arizona
in the final game of the year.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
So the Seahawks lose.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
This game and go to eleven and four, Rams go
to twelve and three, it's pretty much done. You're going
on the road and you're going to be likely facing
the winner of the NFC South, which right now is
going to be Tampa Bay or Carolina. So I'm not
saying it's a road that is a disaster for the
Seahawks at all. Nobody's saying that whatsoever. The Hawks are
six and one, they can do it on the road.
They can absolutely do it. The Buccaneers are nowhere near
(09:23):
what they were the last time the Seahawks saw them,
and the Carolina Panthers have a lot of wards. Man,
So I would feel, you know, not totally confident, but
I feel pretty good. If you would have told me
before the season started you're the five seed and to
make the divisional round you have to win at Tampa
or Carolina, I mean I probably would have taken it,
to be honest, with you, at least under those situations.
(09:45):
I'd rather be at home, obviously, but I just wondering.
We had this conversation with the Mariners in the playoff
run about the World Series, man like, hey, would you
take the World Series if it means getting swept? And
all this said, absolutely or dying for a World Series.
We've never been there in fifty years. We've got to
have a World Series. It's the one thing we haven't done.
Give it to us. We want it. I don't care
(10:06):
if we lose in two. Just give us the damn
World Series? Would you take an NFC Championship loss?
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Right now?
Speaker 1 (10:12):
By the Seahawks, Seahawks play in the NFC Championship for
the first time since two thousand and fourteen, right when
they beat Green Bay at home. But they lose the game,
that would mean, by the way, it's the first time
they've lost in the conference championship game since eighty three.
Because I think a lot of people forget that the
Seahawks actually played in that game forty two years ago,
(10:35):
because nobody remembers anything that happened before Pete Carroll, right,
So it'd be the first time they've played in the
conference Championship game and not one in forty two years.
Do you take an NFC Championship Game appearance right now
with a loss or do you roll the dice?
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Diick Fane, I.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Absolutely do not take that, okay, because I think that
the Seahawks are either the best or the second best
team in the NFCI, and even if they finished with
a five seed, they could potentially get the Rams in
the second round, right, and so therefore that means you
have dispatched of the Rams if you're in the NFC
Championship Game and you're playing somebody that you would be
a favorite against. So no, I think I would take
(11:13):
right now. If you offered me super course, of course
I would take. Yes, I'm like you, just like you
asked me about the Maritters going to the World Series,
I would have taken that.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
But the only reason why I'm not offering super Bowl
is because we've been there. We've been there three times, right,
I mean the World Series. When you're dying, you know
you got to you You're parched, man, You're wandering through
the desert and you're looking for anything to quench your thirst. Yes,
I'll take the World Series, even if it means we
are outscored by seventy five runs.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
I'll take it. I don't think I would have taken
the ALCS.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
Act we would if you would have offered that, like
halfway through the year ALCS.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Oh no, I met like at this point, like if
the playoff starting, I don't think we would have taken ALCS.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
So you're saying in like September, yes, early September, I
don't think we would. I wouldn't have either. I wouldn't
have either. I was World Series or bust.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
But let Andrews, do you take the NFC Championship game
right now?
Speaker 2 (12:05):
I do the loss?
Speaker 4 (12:06):
I do I do take the And it's the same
logic that I use when we were talking about the Mariners.
I said that you have to do something different, you
have to do something more, you have to progress in
your what we just talked about the window closing for
the Chiefs, same kind of thing for the Seahawks. It's
kind of you go through these phases, right, and this
is a whole new windows since Mike McDonald came here.
You got to first make the playoffs, then make it
the NFC Championship Game, then go to the Super Bowl. Right,
(12:28):
go through those phases and as long as you do
something that you haven't done, you know, obviously since twenty fourteen,
as you mentioned, I think that considers I would take that.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
I would take that as a successful season. Oh, it
would be an absolute success. There's no question about that.
If the Seahawks make the NFC Championship Game and there
in the final four of the NFL, there's no doubt
that'd be a success. I mean, think about, you know,
firing Pete Carroll at nine to eight, right, and then
two years later you're in the conference title game. I mean,
that'd be an unbelievable a coup for John Schneider. I mean,
(12:57):
that conversation stopped. Remember the conversation about John Schneider getting fired.
Remember that, Yes, and then he signed the extension. Ever
since then, it's like, oh, where's that. It's crickets now,
nobody's talking about John Schneider getting whacked. Because John Schneider
has done an amazing job with this football team. I
think John Schneider, frankly, should be up for the Executive
of the Year in the NFL. But he's not gonna
win it because the Hawks were never four and thirteen.
(13:19):
That's his problem, right, so I mean every move And
I saw this on McAfee show today, and I totally agree.
I didn't watch the show. It was on social media
National show.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
No, no, no, I thought I hadn't coming over.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Nope, Nope, you never to say it again, Nope, I
did not watch it. I saw I do, I do
what I do, I live everything in thirty second clips
on social media. And so I saw a clip from
Pat McAfee's show or I don't know who they were
talking to, but somebody said, I think it was Petecheger
from the NFL network.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
All right, is he not with ESPN? By the way,
Pete Raeger, what's you doing?
Speaker 1 (13:52):
He said that every move that John Schneider's made has
been a success, and he's exactly right. I mean, hell,
even DeMarcus Lawrence old enough right guard coming out of
muff Balls, right, But he didn't make a move for
right guard. He just kept the guy he had last year.
I'm saying every move he made. You could argue, maybe
Cooper Cup, but you've kind of made up for that
by Jackson Smith and Jigba having a phenomenal year, and
(14:14):
you go out and get Rashid Rice right, so him,
you made it up by going out and getting that guy.
So I think he's exactly right. This has been don't
John Schneider. To me, Dick is not getting enough credit,
He's not getting enough conversation. Nobody's talking about him. He's
a fabulous GM. He's always been a fabulous GEM. He's
(14:35):
had one major hole in his game, which I think
he still has. But what GM doesn't have a hole
in that game? I mean, every GM has a hole
in their game, and and if he can just those
are the those are the type of holes you just
need to throw money at. I'm not a big fan
of throwing money, but if you just don't know how
to evaluate a certain position, then you just need to.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Go pay for it and get it.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Taking care of what they did in the Legion of
Boom Mira, that's what he has to do with right guard.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Well, they had a chance to throw money at it
over the offen season and they didn't do it right.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
They could have had a lot of guys over the
off season.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Well.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
And the other great thing about Johns Yeah, the other
great thing about John Schneider is it's not like one
of those Washington Commander's situations where oh yeah, you get
to the NFC Championship game, but your roster is aging
like there's no tomorrow. This is the beginning, the very
beginning of this window, which is another reason why he's
done such a good job.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Well, I'm gonna I'm gonna get a real scientific answer
to our question here. I'm gonna put it on Twitter,
all right, and I'm going to ask people if I
guarantee you an NFC Championship appearance right now, but the
Seahawks lose, do you take it?
Speaker 2 (15:33):
And do you roll the dice or do you roll
the dice?
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Because if you roll the dice, you're talking about having
to win probably a couple of road games in the
Wildcard round to get to the NFC Championship Game. I mean,
winning one is hard enough, winning two is a little difficult, obviously.
So obviously there's a chance as a wildcard team you
could host the conference title game. But a lot of
things after you go your way. So you're saying you
(15:56):
would not take it, You're saying you would take it.
I I think I'm with Dick. I don't think i'd
take it.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
Yet.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
I don't think I would take it. I just think
we're really good.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
I think this defense really, Like I said yesterday, guys,
I don't want to waste this defense. I think this
is a epic defense, and I really think the cool
thing about this defense is that their epic now and
they're starting something not finishing.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
So would an NFC Championship appearance be a waste.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
If the offense doesn't perform, then yeah, you'd waste the defense.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Yeah, if we lost the NFC Championship game thirteen ten thirteen.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
That's fair. How pissed would you be?
Speaker 3 (16:27):
And we ran the ball twenty two times for forty
seven yards?
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Well, and it's obvious what they have to do over
the offseason, right, Like we're obviously not there yet, but
it's clear as day they got to fix the running game,
which we won't get in history. Go to early, trade
it and get him man, whatever, I love it. Whatever
you need to do, fix the running game. Like there's
no debate, Like we're not going to be sitting here
over the off season going gee, I wonder what they need.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Everybody knows what they need. They need to fix the
run game.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
It's the last and maybe maybe on top of that,
figure out their tight end spot. I think Arroyo has
been a little bit of a downer, but he's a
rookie break okay. But the Raiders are learning one game fix.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
The Raiders are.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Learning if you don't fix the blocking, it really doesn't
matter what running back you draft.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Well, let's do this. Let's check the poll on Twitter.
We'll throw it out there. We'll get some thoughts, obviously
from the social media sphere. Gas Man's going to join
us around four o'clock today. We'll dive into this game
more on Thursday night, because it's the biggest game of
the year in the NFL in a lot of people's eyes,
and it's the biggest divisional game the Hawks have played
(17:29):
since probably twenty fourteen when they went to the Super
Bowl and lost to the Patriots. We'll get all that
coming up on a busy Tuesday on ninety three to
three KJRFM. All right, there you go, boys and girls
two age six, ninety five, ninety five, let's go ten
color wins tickets for the December twenty ninth game against
(17:49):
the Vancouver Canucks. Cracking ticket Tuesday right here on ninety
three three KJARFM. We'll do it again, coming up in
the four pm hour, the five pm hour, six pm hour. Yes, no, Anders, yes, no,
he's Paul to Jackson right now?
Speaker 2 (18:08):
What not paying attention? I used to it.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
I do know this that we do have a pair
in the four o'clock hour and a pair in the
six pm hour.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
Man.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
So it does say here, by the way up until
seven o'clock. So I do think that means we are
doing it four times today on the radio show tenth
Collor right now wins tickets for the Canucks game against
the Kraken on December December. Excuse me, twenty ninth. A
little bit of a of a what do you call it?
When you got to pivot, when you got to improvise?
(18:38):
What am I talking about here?
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (18:40):
No, not a transition when you're like playing a football game.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
You gotta oh yes, a little bit of an audible,
a little bit of an hoddible.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Rico Beard's going to join us at three forty five
and talk about what's happening with the Michigan coaching search.
I think we got to figure out what the hell's
going on out there.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Man.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
You want Jed, you want Dillingham, you want drink wits
And what's timeline?
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Because I'm kind of getting side hired Dilly Dilly was
out there as a rumor today.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Well, I think it'd be great for them to get
Kenny Dillingham. I also think Kenny Dillingham who went to
Arizona State.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Is that right? He's an alum of ASU.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
He's probably and we can use this conversation with Wilner
coming up today at five point twenty, by the way,
because Jamie Clark from the National Championship Husky men's soccer
team will join us. I don't know how sober he'll
be at five pm tonight, doesn't matter. We're having a
big old celebration for him right now, including a lot
of bubbly over on campus. So we'll get Jamie on
(19:32):
the AAR five o'clock tonight. But the question is with
Kenny Dillingham, is he using this Michigan angle to actually
get the job or is he using the Michigan angle
to do one of two things. Get more money for himself,
which I believe he's already done, by the way, and
get more money for facilities and a staff at Arizona State.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
I thought you were going to say an angle to
get another job that's not Michigan, which would be what
whoever comes the Michigan coach.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
All right, So Kenny Dillingham is leaving Arizona State to
go to New Mexico, where Jason Eck just left to
go to NRB.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
I don't think Jason ck is going to get the
d NO, but I don't know Jed Fish.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Maybe I don't think he would leave for you, Dubb though,
I think I think Kenny Dilly Dillingham's next job is
either a job like the Michigan job, or it's the
job like the NFL.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
We agree though, that there is definitely a step between
Arizona State and Michigan, and Washington resides in that step.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Hundred percent unless you're an alum of ASU.
Speaker 5 (20:30):
That's fair.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
I think that's the difference with Dillingham that because he
went to school there, because he's from there.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
He's from Phoenix.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
By the way, Yeah, he went to ASU, graduated in
twenty twelve. I mean, he's it'd be like you and
me coaching the dogs, right, So for us it means
a lot more, a lot younger, exactly why, and not
nearly his chubby by the way, he's got a little
baby fat eye does Honestly, I mean, look at that guy.
He looks like he should be buying candy with his
mom for crying out loud. But I think I think
(21:00):
because of that, I think he's more app to stay in,
more app to only leave for a job like that. Like, guys,
look at what it took for Jonathan Smith to leave
Oregon State left. It took the PAC twelve falling apart
and disintegrating right for him to take off and leave
his alma mater and go to a place that you know,
they've had some success, they're in a final four like
(21:22):
what ten years ago with Gary DeNardo I think it was,
but they haven't won a lot at Michigan State.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
For crying out.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Loud, he left his alma mater to go to a
place like that. So I get the sense. And maybe
I'm wrong. Maybe Dillingham doesn't give a damn. Maybe he
has no allegiance to ASU whatsoever, and he just wants
the best deal at the best place for him that
can give him the best exposure and the best chance
to win at the highest level. But he's I do
think he's more app to stay there than other people
because he is from there.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Oh, I think he's got allegiance.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
There's no question but you know, there's a difference between
having allegiance and turning down twice the salary to go
to Washington. Sure, you know, if Washington's willing to offer
six and he's making three or whatever, and.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
What's he making, you know, wh he's Megan take a
lot and assume he's I'm.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Making more than three. He's making six million dollars in
twenty twenty five. And I think he just signed a
new deal, by the way. Uh, yeah, they just they
increased his deal. He's got an extension through two thousand
and thirty, so it'll give him nine million.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Yeah. I mean, he keeps winning, he keeps getting more money.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
But this Michigan thing again, this is when you guys say,
it's the number one topic of conversation amongst Husky fans
right now. Not that it's like Dick ninety five percent.
Everybody's talking about this, But if the number one conversation
is taking up forty percent of the Husky fan conversation, pie,
it's Jedfish and Michigan. I'm still reading stories in the
(22:40):
newspaper from Andy or Christian Caple on his website or whatever,
and they're all talking about.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
With the uncertainty and Jedfish's future.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
I'm like, do people really think that that there's a
lot of uncertainty over Jedfish?
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Maybe they do. I just feel the same way as
I did a week ago.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
I think Michigan would have to go pretty far down
their list before they would offer it to Jedfish.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
But maybe we're getting pretty far. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
I think it is the number one conversation topic of conversation.
I think it was even number one when the Huskies
still had a game to play, Yeah, which is kind
of unusual. You'd think that if they're still in the season. Oh,
I don't know, let's pay attention to the game they've
got coming and then maybe if the But it was
number one a week and a half ago too, so
it's definitely number one now because there's no more games
left and there's.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
No more recruiting left.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
And the longer they go without hiring somebody, obviously, right,
the more you tend to kind of wonder what's going
on with this? And somebody wrote this the other day,
I don't know who it was, that there's an investigation
happening right now in ann Arbor on campus, like an
internal investigation. To find out how many OnlyFans accounts Sharon
Moore really has, how many models he's been dming obviously
(23:44):
as the head coach of the Wolverines, how many staff
members he's been stooping? That's going on, and that's not
gonna They're not going to hire anybody until that investigation's over.
I'm not sure if that's accurate or not. Somebody just
like it. Does that matter, because whoever takes the job
wants to know what they're walking in to.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Right. Is Ward Manual going to be there? Is the
president going to be there? You know?
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Are they gonna have to go back on probation again?
Is there some violation that was I have no idea.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
I just look, I.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Mean, I wouldn't worry about it if I were violating,
if I were, well, who knows what was going on
behind the closed doors? Who knows what he was doing.
I got no idea what the guy was doing. I mean, yeah,
I mean, well that's disgusting first of all. Number one,
I mean, I don't think I'd go that far. But
the point is is that you never know, you never
know what the guy was doing behind the scenes. Let
(24:33):
me ask you this, do you think the NCUBLEA has
any interest in finding out what happened behind the scenes
that Michigan wish to Ron Moore probably, and then when
they come knocking, who knows what they come find. Right
to the Billy Jeh Hobart thing, the n CUBLEA didn't
knock on Udub's door because Billy Joe Hobert took a
loan out right, Actually they did, and then they found
other stuff.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
That's my point. You want to keep the n CUBLA
away from your front door.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
So I'm not if I'm a Michigan fan, Dick, I'm
not over the con earned about it. I'm just saying
that there is a thought that Michigan is not going
to hire somebody until the investigation comes to it ends.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Yeah, I mean, I just think these are sound to
me like all personal improprieties that really have nothing to
do with it.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
It does sound like yes, it does sound like that.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
But again, I mean the idea that somebody may want
to wait, or that Michigan may want to wait.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
We'll ask Rico he'll join us next from Detroit, uh
and get the thought from him on what the hell's
going on with Michigan's head coaching search. Gas Man's gonna
hop on at four o'clock as well, talk about his
Hoosiers in the fricking CFP number one in America.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Next on ninety three three KJRFM.
Speaker 6 (25:43):
From the R and R Foundation Specialist Broadcast Studio. Now
back to SOFTI and Dick on your Home for the Huskies,
Kraken and the twelfth Man Sports Radio, ninety three point
three kJ r FM.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
All right back here on a busy, busy Tuesday afternoon.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Right here on ninety three to three KJRFM, My guest
to know joining X segment talking about his beloved Indiana Hoosiers,
Heisman Trophy winner and number one team in America. My god,
all the odds have been on that statement being true
two years ago. You're hitting me herero Well, the host
of the Valente and Rico Show on ninety seven to
one the Ticket in Detroit. I got two questions, when
(26:22):
will Michigan hire a coach and who will it be?
And this guy knows the answer to both. He's going
to share it with us right now. Our friend, Rico
Beard Rico, how are you man?
Speaker 5 (26:32):
What's going on? Soft? The geez, that's a great question.
When will they hire a coach? I think they have
to do it before Christmas because you got portal season
coming up.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Now, who is it going to be?
Speaker 5 (26:45):
That's the million dollar question.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Yeah, well listen because you don't necessarily need an answer,
if you don't need to answer both those questions right now.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
I was just setting up.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
I was just setting up the interview as if to say,
that's the kind of thing we want to find out
from you. There's no how are you, what's going on,
how's life, how's the family?
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Blah blah blah. We haven't even gotten to take from you.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
And what the reaction was when Sharon Moore got fired
last week? I mean, what the hell has the last
week been like for you guys covering this story?
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Man?
Speaker 5 (27:13):
I mean it was, seriously, it was a breaking news.
We were talking hockey and all of a sudden it
was breaking news, and I thought my producer was about
to tell me that Derek Schouble had been traded to somebody,
Tiger Pitcher and he's like, shrown more fired and I
dave a double take, like and he was in my ear.
I'm like what. I'm like, hey, guys, we got breaking
news he was fired for just cause, and it was like,
(27:39):
oh wow. So as we're trying to scramble to figure
out what this inappropriate relationships, there had been rumors that
he had been dating one of the staffers, but you know,
I mean, guys, you know what it's like for rumors.
Internet rumors are going all the time. Well, this one
was true, and he did, and then it turned into
(28:01):
geez ended up being we were like ten minutes away
from this being a white Bronco driving down I ninety four,
because then he goes over to our house he threatened
to kill himself and it's just like.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
What the heck is going? Oh?
Speaker 5 (28:15):
I had never seen anything like this. Let's just put
it like that now.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
Obviously Michigan fans aren't happy about how this all went down,
But are most Michigan fans happy that Sharon Moore is
no longer the coach there?
Speaker 5 (28:30):
I think so. I think he had gotten to the
point where they didn't really care for him anymore. I
think that's what it goten because he was a space
filler and I think a lot of Wolverine saw him.
He wasn't Jim Harball and he was never going to
leave them to a national title. So they felt like
(28:50):
he had squandered Bryce Underwood, that's the five star quarterback
that they had by just turning around and handing the
ball off all year. He really wasn't allowed to do
as a quarterback. All he did was just hand the
ball off. So a lot of Michigan fans not sad,
they're embarrassed by how this went down because this athletic
(29:11):
program has had so many things happened to it. They're
actually being investigated by a law firm right now. Yeah,
have to just go through I think like twelve to
fourteen things have happened over ward Manual's watch.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Right, Well, yeah, and I want to get to the
details of what they're looking for. Who's on the list,
who you think they can get In a second, but
Dick and I were talking last segment that somebody Rico
tossed us out there Rico Beard again from Detroit with
us talking about the Michigan coaching search, which obviously Jed
Fish has been connected to that for the last few
(29:44):
days or so. But there's a thought that Michigan's not
going to hire anybody until this investigation closes.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
That's ongoing right now. On campus.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Do you buy that that that might be delaying hiring
a new coach.
Speaker 5 (29:58):
It might be because here's the thing. Michigan right now
currently does not have a president. I think this investigation,
they're gonna relieve Ward Manuel of his job as athletic director.
Speaker 6 (30:10):
Right.
Speaker 5 (30:10):
That means who's going to do the hiring.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
They don't want him hiring the next guy if he's
getting fired, right Yeah, why.
Speaker 5 (30:17):
Would any coach take a job and you don't know
who your boss is or who your boss's boss is.
So yeah, that means you're not the next athletics director,
you're not the next president's guy. So you're on a
short leach. So if things go sideways, I didn't really
like you anyway, you're fired. So yeah, I think that
it could there's a remote chance that this Pogy, the
(30:40):
acting coach, could by default be the head coach next year.
It'll be a lot like what happened with Ohio State
when Luke Fickle was the coach for one year. They
did a real search and they went out and got
Urban Meyer and then kind of turned things around. But
Fickle led the team to like a five been seven
or six and seven record that year. Wasn't great, but
(31:04):
he was kind of told keep this thing afloat until
we can get a real coach.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
When did campus leadership know what was going on with more?
Speaker 5 (31:14):
That's what the investigation is for, because they said, hey,
we did an investigation, and both parties said, nah, nothing's
going on, nothing's inappropriate. We are just work colleagues because
they was just person morest personal assistant. Then it came
out that I guess Moore fired her and she got
(31:36):
upset and had receipts and said, no, what we were
more than just colleagues, here's everything, And as soon as
they got that word on Wednesday, they fired him that day.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Yeah, well, who do Michigan fans want? Who would be
number one on the list? And in reality, who do
you think is number one on Michigan's list? And how
deep does it go before they get to the jail fish?
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Number one on.
Speaker 5 (32:03):
Their list is probably Kaitlin de Boor. But I think
he's finally put that to an end for now.
Speaker 4 (32:10):
Now.
Speaker 5 (32:10):
Alabama loves Oklahoma. Alabama's a crazy fan base. Alabama will
turn around and run him out of town, and he'd
run right into the arms of Michigan and at Arbor.
They're also looking at Kenny Dillingham from Arizona State, who
has done everything but just deny the fact that he's
not going to Michigan. When they've asked him the question.
It's like, Kenny, it's a real easy question, are you
(32:33):
going to Michigan? And he gives this long drawn out
answer instead of saying no, I'm coaching Arizona State. So
I think that they're probably doing some negotiation with his
agents to see what's happening. I think Jetfish is the
easy layout. Fish is the one that if those two
don't work out, we know we could ask Jetfish and
(32:55):
he's immediately going to hop on a flight and be
the next head coach of Michigan. That's how they see.
I don't know if that's how it is there, but
that's how they feel that Fish, I think is the
third choice. He's the he's the safety school, he's the
backup prom day. You know he's gonna say yet.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
Well, I think every Husky fan listening right now is
nodding their head when you say that, because there's just
not a lot of trust from the Husky fan base.
The Judfish wants to be here a long term But
are these candidates ahead of Fish waiting to see what
shakes out Rico or are Do you think they're just
saying no, and regardless of nothing comes up in the
next couple of weeks and everything's clean from a Michigan standpoint,
(33:34):
they'd still say no.
Speaker 5 (33:37):
I think a lot of it. They're waiting to see
what happens. They're waiting to see if they can somehow.
I think I think the bor is going to end
up turning this into more money at Alabama, more money
for his collective to get players in there, pledge to
the NIO package. I think they're saying with Dillingham, he's
played at Arizona State, he lives there, like, he's got
(33:59):
a wife's pregnant right now. He lives three doors down
from his parents, so it would be a big thing
for him to up and move. So I think he
may be trying to milk this as well, to try
to get as much money as possible. But I think
the biggest thing is you don't know what this investigation
is going to be, and this investigation is not on
(34:20):
any timeline. They don't have to hurry up and be
done before portal season, and there's a great chance that
by the time they finish, you know, it's gonna you know,
the portal's good window is going to be open. So
that's why I think for Michigan their best bet is
just to kind of right next year off and do
it the right way the following season.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
Yeah no, that's good. Call Rico Beard, great stuff. Keep
us abreast of the situation, all right, and we'll talk
down the road. Buddy, appreciate it, man, all right, so
you guys, thanks me on Rico Beard from ninety seven
to one. The ticket interesting thinks that just because of
the turmoil out there right now, that they may just
give Biff Pogy the job for a year and say,
let's reset year and see what's going on. Gives a
(35:02):
guy like Jed Fish one more year to figure out
what you dub and hey, if he wins and he
is more attractive to Michigan in twenty twenty seven after
going ten to two and making the playoff, sign me up,
I guess right, because that means you dub benefits from that.
We're gonna break. We'll talk more about this. Mike Gaston
are gonna join us and talk about maybe the most
(35:22):
ludicrous Storian sports in the last I don't know, twenty
five years, if not longer. The resurgence of Indiana football.
Next on ninety three three KJARFM,
I want to remind you that many people in western
(00:02):
Washington have found themselves flooded out of their homes, without food, clothing,
for a place to stay. You can help provide the essentials,
the essentials for people displaced by the floods by donating
to the Red Cross right now. You can donate online
through the Red Cross Northwest Region website or text the
word red Cross. That's the easiest way. I think text
(00:22):
red Cross to nine zero. It's a lot of nines,
red Cross to nine zero, nine nine nine right now
to make a donation, so big thanks to the Red Cross.
And we're thinking about all the people affected by the
floods in the region.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
See, yeah, it's basically under I did I did see that.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
I was driving out to the golf club on Sunday
afternoon and the I guess it'd be going from the
east to the west of is it five sixteen at
the bottom of Kent des Moines Hill that goes to
one sixty seven. The entire lane going west was shut down,
flooded and it looked like Riverbend golf Course was entirely underwater.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
But yeah, Dixon's supposed to have a tournament there on Monday.
I caught it a Winter Classic. They've shrunken it to
nine holes because they said the back nine' underwater.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Well he could do what he could do.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
What two hundred im by the way, or at fifty
at River Bends. He gonna be no golf going on
down there, man. But anyway, we got a lot of
stuff going on today. The gas man's gonna hop I'm
gonna wanting to have Mike on for a few days here.
Ever since Indiana be at Ohio State. He was out
there with his brother man. So just an awesome scene
for who's your fans get his thoughts on this run
by Indiana Football obviously in the CFP, awaiting their second
(01:35):
round matchup at the Rose Bowl. Mike's gonna go to that,
by the way, so good for him. John Wilner will
join us on the radio show. Jamie Munson, our friend
from Simply Seattle's gonna hop on as well and talk
about a great thing they're doing to raise money for
Fred hutch at five point forty five. You can benefit
from that too and get your holiday shopping done at
Simply Seattle. And then some fun with audio as well.
(01:58):
Coming up tonight, we do have a text into our
friend Siren Petro by the way at WHB and Keansas
City and get his thoughts on the closing of the window.
At least for now, it can open again, right every
time you got Mahomes, the window can open again. But
we all knew this was going to come to an end,
and it came to an end the other night with
Patrick Mahomes blowing his knee out and that loss the
(02:20):
other day.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
So I don't know, I was telling you guys off
the ear. This just kind of all of a sudden.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
I don't know why I think like this, and maybe
I'm just completely being an idiot with this take. It
just feels like all of the signs are lining up
for the Buffalo Bills to finally make their run and
get to a Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
AFC is wide open.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
They staved off the Patriots on the weekend, they were
down twenty one to nothing, found a way to win
that game. Their defense isn't great, obviously, but they're outscoring everybody.
They got Josh Allen, who now a lot of people
are saying that Josh Allen might actually find a way
to win the MVP again. It just feels like with
the Chiefs out of the way with the parody and
the AFC that this kind of doesn't it feel like,
(03:02):
all of a sudden, the latest flavor of the month
is the Buffalo Bills, and now they're lining up to
finally get their due and get back to a Super Bowl.
I mean kind of, They're they're the flavor of the
decade not named the Chiefs, right, They're kind of the
next in line. And I've always been one that I
usually air to the side of that type of team, right,
(03:22):
I don't usually jump on the wagon of kind of
an upstart out of nowhere New England Patriots, Denver Broncos,
Chicago Bears. I'm like, Okay, who's been the team that
has gone through the battles and gotten the closest but
hasn't gotten over the top yet?
Speaker 2 (03:37):
And the answer that question is twofold.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
In the AFC, it's Baltimore and it's Buffalo, and I
think ball I think Buffalo is a slightly better team
than Baltimore. But would it shock anybody if Baltimore got
hot over the next month and made it to the
Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Nothing would shock me in the AFC, nothing would shock
me in the NFC. It would shocked me if the
Eagles found a way to figure it out and started
playing better football. I mean, it's ridiculous, man. The amount
of parody in the NFL right now, now, it's stupid.
And look, I know you're not the biggest Sean McDermott
fan obviously out there, but I just wonder.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Dick Well who who?
Speaker 1 (04:07):
And this is not Buffalo Bill's radio, I get that.
Normally when the Bills lose in the playoffs, they lose
to who, They lose to Patrick Mahomes, or they lose
to Lamar Jacks, right, right?
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Do they have a really awful loss in the playoffs?
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Didn't they lose to the under him Jaguars or something
like that?
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Is there a game where Buffalo lost in the postseason
to like an inferior quarterback and inferior team that they
just had no business losing to?
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Twenty twenty two, they lost to Joe Burrow. Twenty three,
they lost to Patrick Mahomes. Right, twenty twenty four they
lost to Patrick Mahomes. You go back to twenty twenty one,
they lost to Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Let's go back to twenty.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Patrick Mahomes money twenty twenty Nick Mahmes twenty nineteen. They
lost to the Houston Texas, but they were really that's it.
I mean they were ten and seven. Yeah, they weren't
a great So my point is this, And I feel
like I'm kind of like defending McDermott here for a
second for all the people out there that hate the guy.
I mean, what's he supposed to do? Like he runs
into buzzsaws. If there was any other era, if there
(05:07):
was ten years from now, fifteen years ago, how many
Buffalo bill super Bowls are there with this guy, Josh Allen.
He just keeps running into these unbelievable quarterbacks and unbelievable teams.
And I realized that Josh Allen's also supposed to be unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
I get that, But is there really.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Any shame in the teams that Sean McDermott has lost
to in all.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
But two years they were on the road.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Yeah, And and so you're the worst at that, absolutely worst.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Like how long have you been doing radio? For a
long time?
Speaker 3 (05:43):
I don't know, three years, But I never turn it on,
So I'm no wondering Hawayatt turns on it.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
I go in and turn it on.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
I think you do you turn it on because you
just had to turn it off. If you ever listen
to this radio station and you'll hear a notification from
somebody's computer, it's like my us eight thousand fans leftops, Okay,
go ahead.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
So only two years have they lost at home? Most
of them been on the road. And maybe that's one
of Bill's fans.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
You know.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Criticisms is like get the one seed, man, you have
Josh Allen.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Get the one seed and you don't have to.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
But that's again, but that's hard when you're going when
Mahomes is at the same conference.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
So how I know I'm rooting for him. I'm rooting
for McDermott. I'm running for Buffalo.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
I am too, and I'd be afraid, honestly if it's
if the Seahawks are in the Super Bowl. Yeah, I
don't want to see Josh Allen.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Of course. I much rather see Bo Nicks or Drake
May than Josh Allen.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Well yeah, I mean, but but Denver is a higher
But Denver has a ben still win the Super Bowl
right now than they don't care does.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
We had the same conversation about the baseball playoffs. Would
you rather be the two seed or the five seed
or the three seed or that. I mean, that's just
all about matchups, right, And you're absolutely correct. I mean
you got to be. If anybody would disagree with that,
you're an idiot. You'd rather face Josh Allen and a
guy who has really made the playoffs for the first
(07:03):
time in his life. And as it is, what second
or third year in the NFL, second year in the NFL, right,
Drake main Bonix or number second year guys? Correct them,
the two of them. I mean, yeah, obviously I'd rather
face those guys.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
I could make an argument that I would rather face Denver,
New England than Houston.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Yeah, Houston's really good.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Houston's might hold us to thirteen points if we played them.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Well, did you see the way the offense played over
the weekend against the Colts case? So, I mean they
absolutely can be held to thirteen points by a Houston
Texan football team. I just wonder this game on Thursday
night that I was looking at it. The Athletic does
a playoff simulator.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
It's pretty fun. Have you goofed around with that? It's fun?
All right?
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Go home and Athletic dot Com play with your playoff simulator.
Play with right, Well, don't do that, wait until the
show's over. According to The Athletic, the Rams odds of
winning the NFC West with a win or at ninety
five percent. With a loss, they're at twenty six percent.
Seahawks odds of a division championship with a win fifty
(08:03):
five percent. Seahawk odds with a loss are at two percent.
I guess they're leaving the remaining three for San Francisco
if the Rams win this game on Thursday night, Because guys,
here's the thing. If the Rams win this game on Thursday,
They've got the number one tiebreaker, which is head to head. Okay,
they're also going to have an advantage in the division games.
It'll be four and two versus I believe, is it
(08:25):
two and three? Where are they at right now in
the standings? Yeah, because the Hawks are The Hawks would
be two and three in the Rams be four and two,
so they would have the number one and number two
tiebreakers over the Seahawks. And you said the Rams have
the common games right now? Yes, the Rams correct.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
If the Seahawks win over the Rams but then lose
one of the last two games, yes, and the Rams
win the last two games yes, we do not win
the division, and the Hawks have the way harder finale.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
They got Carolina San Francisco on the road, the Rams
are at Atlanta, and then they get the host Arizona
in the final game of the year.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
So the Seahawks lose.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
This game and go to eleven and four, Rams go
to twelve and three, it's pretty much done. You're going
on the road and you're going to be likely facing
the winner of the NFC South, which right now is
going to be Tampa Bay or Carolina. So I'm not
saying it's a road that is a disaster for the
Seahawks at all. Nobody's saying that whatsoever. The Hawks are
six and one, they can do it on the road.
They can absolutely do it. The Buccaneers are nowhere near
(09:23):
what they were the last time the Seahawks saw them,
and the Carolina Panthers have a lot of wards. Man,
So I would feel, you know, not totally confident, but
I feel pretty good. If you would have told me
before the season started you're the five seed and to
make the divisional round you have to win at Tampa
or Carolina, I mean I probably would have taken it,
to be honest, with you, at least under those situations.
(09:45):
I'd rather be at home, obviously, but I just wondering.
We had this conversation with the Mariners in the playoff
run about the World Series, man like, hey, would you
take the World Series if it means getting swept? And
all this said, absolutely or dying for a World Series.
We've never been there in fifty years. We've got to
have a World Series. It's the one thing we haven't done.
Give it to us. We want it. I don't care
(10:06):
if we lose in two. Just give us the damn
World Series? Would you take an NFC Championship loss?
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Right now?
Speaker 1 (10:12):
By the Seahawks, Seahawks play in the NFC Championship for
the first time since two thousand and fourteen, right when
they beat Green Bay at home. But they lose the game,
that would mean, by the way, it's the first time
they've lost in the conference championship game since eighty three.
Because I think a lot of people forget that the
Seahawks actually played in that game forty two years ago,
(10:35):
because nobody remembers anything that happened before Pete Carroll, right,
So it'd be the first time they've played in the
conference Championship game and not one in forty two years.
Do you take an NFC Championship Game appearance right now
with a loss or do you roll the dice?
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Diick Fane, I.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Absolutely do not take that, okay, because I think that
the Seahawks are either the best or the second best
team in the NFCI, and even if they finished with
a five seed, they could potentially get the Rams in
the second round, right, and so therefore that means you
have dispatched of the Rams if you're in the NFC
Championship Game and you're playing somebody that you would be
a favorite against. So no, I think I would take
(11:13):
right now. If you offered me super course, of course
I would take. Yes, I'm like you, just like you
asked me about the Maritters going to the World Series,
I would have taken that.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
But the only reason why I'm not offering super Bowl
is because we've been there. We've been there three times, right,
I mean the World Series. When you're dying, you know
you got to you You're parched, man, You're wandering through
the desert and you're looking for anything to quench your thirst. Yes,
I'll take the World Series, even if it means we
are outscored by seventy five runs.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
I'll take it. I don't think I would have taken
the ALCS.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
Act we would if you would have offered that, like
halfway through the year ALCS.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Oh no, I met like at this point, like if
the playoff starting, I don't think we would have taken ALCS.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
So you're saying in like September, yes, early September, I
don't think we would. I wouldn't have either. I wouldn't
have either. I was World Series or bust.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
But let Andrews, do you take the NFC Championship game
right now?
Speaker 2 (12:05):
I do the loss?
Speaker 4 (12:06):
I do I do take the And it's the same
logic that I use when we were talking about the Mariners.
I said that you have to do something different, you
have to do something more, you have to progress in
your what we just talked about the window closing for
the Chiefs, same kind of thing for the Seahawks. It's
kind of you go through these phases, right, and this
is a whole new windows since Mike McDonald came here.
You got to first make the playoffs, then make it
the NFC Championship Game, then go to the Super Bowl. Right,
(12:28):
go through those phases and as long as you do
something that you haven't done, you know, obviously since twenty fourteen,
as you mentioned, I think that considers I would take that.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
I would take that as a successful season. Oh, it
would be an absolute success. There's no question about that.
If the Seahawks make the NFC Championship Game and there
in the final four of the NFL, there's no doubt
that'd be a success. I mean, think about, you know,
firing Pete Carroll at nine to eight, right, and then
two years later you're in the conference title game. I mean,
that'd be an unbelievable a coup for John Schneider. I mean,
(12:57):
that conversation stopped. Remember the conversation about John Schneider getting fired.
Remember that, Yes, and then he signed the extension. Ever
since then, it's like, oh, where's that. It's crickets now,
nobody's talking about John Schneider getting whacked. Because John Schneider
has done an amazing job with this football team. I
think John Schneider, frankly, should be up for the Executive
of the Year in the NFL. But he's not gonna
win it because the Hawks were never four and thirteen.
(13:19):
That's his problem, right, so I mean every move And
I saw this on McAfee show today, and I totally agree.
I didn't watch the show. It was on social media
National show.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
No, no, no, I thought I hadn't coming over.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Nope, Nope, you never to say it again, Nope, I
did not watch it. I saw I do, I do
what I do, I live everything in thirty second clips
on social media. And so I saw a clip from
Pat McAfee's show or I don't know who they were
talking to, but somebody said, I think it was Petecheger
from the NFL network.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
All right, is he not with ESPN? By the way,
Pete Raeger, what's you doing?
Speaker 1 (13:52):
He said that every move that John Schneider's made has
been a success, and he's exactly right. I mean, hell,
even DeMarcus Lawrence old enough right guard coming out of
muff Balls, right, But he didn't make a move for
right guard. He just kept the guy he had last year.
I'm saying every move he made. You could argue, maybe
Cooper Cup, but you've kind of made up for that
by Jackson Smith and Jigba having a phenomenal year, and
(14:14):
you go out and get Rashid Rice right, so him,
you made it up by going out and getting that guy.
So I think he's exactly right. This has been don't
John Schneider. To me, Dick is not getting enough credit,
He's not getting enough conversation. Nobody's talking about him. He's
a fabulous GM. He's always been a fabulous GEM. He's
(14:35):
had one major hole in his game, which I think
he still has. But what GM doesn't have a hole
in that game? I mean, every GM has a hole
in their game, and and if he can just those
are the those are the type of holes you just
need to throw money at. I'm not a big fan
of throwing money, but if you just don't know how
to evaluate a certain position, then you just need to.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Go pay for it and get it.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Taking care of what they did in the Legion of
Boom Mira, that's what he has to do with right guard.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Well, they had a chance to throw money at it
over the offen season and they didn't do it right.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
They could have had a lot of guys over the
off season.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Well.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
And the other great thing about Johns Yeah, the other
great thing about John Schneider is it's not like one
of those Washington Commander's situations where oh yeah, you get
to the NFC Championship game, but your roster is aging
like there's no tomorrow. This is the beginning, the very
beginning of this window, which is another reason why he's
done such a good job.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Well, I'm gonna I'm gonna get a real scientific answer
to our question here. I'm gonna put it on Twitter,
all right, and I'm going to ask people if I
guarantee you an NFC Championship appearance right now, but the
Seahawks lose, do you take it?
Speaker 2 (15:33):
And do you roll the dice or do you roll
the dice?
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Because if you roll the dice, you're talking about having
to win probably a couple of road games in the
Wildcard round to get to the NFC Championship Game. I mean,
winning one is hard enough, winning two is a little difficult, obviously.
So obviously there's a chance as a wildcard team you
could host the conference title game. But a lot of
things after you go your way. So you're saying you
(15:56):
would not take it, You're saying you would take it.
I I think I'm with Dick. I don't think i'd
take it.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
Yet.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
I don't think I would take it. I just think
we're really good.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
I think this defense really, Like I said yesterday, guys,
I don't want to waste this defense. I think this
is a epic defense, and I really think the cool
thing about this defense is that their epic now and
they're starting something not finishing.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
So would an NFC Championship appearance be a waste.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
If the offense doesn't perform, then yeah, you'd waste the defense.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Yeah, if we lost the NFC Championship game thirteen ten thirteen.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
That's fair. How pissed would you be?
Speaker 3 (16:27):
And we ran the ball twenty two times for forty
seven yards?
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Well, and it's obvious what they have to do over
the offseason, right, Like we're obviously not there yet, but
it's clear as day they got to fix the running game,
which we won't get in history. Go to early, trade
it and get him man, whatever, I love it. Whatever
you need to do, fix the running game. Like there's
no debate, Like we're not going to be sitting here
over the off season going gee, I wonder what they need.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Everybody knows what they need. They need to fix the
run game.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
It's the last and maybe maybe on top of that,
figure out their tight end spot. I think Arroyo has
been a little bit of a downer, but he's a
rookie break okay. But the Raiders are learning one game fix.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
The Raiders are.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Learning if you don't fix the blocking, it really doesn't
matter what running back you draft.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Well, let's do this. Let's check the poll on Twitter.
We'll throw it out there. We'll get some thoughts, obviously
from the social media sphere. Gas Man's going to join
us around four o'clock today. We'll dive into this game
more on Thursday night, because it's the biggest game of
the year in the NFL in a lot of people's eyes,
and it's the biggest divisional game the Hawks have played
(17:29):
since probably twenty fourteen when they went to the Super
Bowl and lost to the Patriots. We'll get all that
coming up on a busy Tuesday on ninety three to
three KJRFM. All right, there you go, boys and girls
two age six, ninety five, ninety five, let's go ten
color wins tickets for the December twenty ninth game against
(17:49):
the Vancouver Canucks. Cracking ticket Tuesday right here on ninety
three three KJARFM. We'll do it again, coming up in
the four pm hour, the five pm hour, six pm hour. Yes, no, Anders, yes, no,
he's Paul to Jackson right now?
Speaker 2 (18:08):
What not paying attention? I used to it.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
I do know this that we do have a pair
in the four o'clock hour and a pair in the
six pm hour.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
Man.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
So it does say here, by the way up until
seven o'clock. So I do think that means we are
doing it four times today on the radio show tenth
Collor right now wins tickets for the Canucks game against
the Kraken on December December. Excuse me, twenty ninth. A
little bit of a of a what do you call it?
When you got to pivot, when you got to improvise?
(18:38):
What am I talking about here?
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (18:40):
No, not a transition when you're like playing a football game.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
You gotta oh yes, a little bit of an audible,
a little bit of an hoddible.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Rico Beard's going to join us at three forty five
and talk about what's happening with the Michigan coaching search.
I think we got to figure out what the hell's
going on out there.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Man.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
You want Jed, you want Dillingham, you want drink wits
And what's timeline?
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Because I'm kind of getting side hired Dilly Dilly was
out there as a rumor today.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Well, I think it'd be great for them to get
Kenny Dillingham. I also think Kenny Dillingham who went to
Arizona State.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Is that right? He's an alum of ASU.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
He's probably and we can use this conversation with Wilner
coming up today at five point twenty, by the way,
because Jamie Clark from the National Championship Husky men's soccer
team will join us. I don't know how sober he'll
be at five pm tonight, doesn't matter. We're having a
big old celebration for him right now, including a lot
of bubbly over on campus. So we'll get Jamie on
(19:32):
the AAR five o'clock tonight. But the question is with
Kenny Dillingham, is he using this Michigan angle to actually
get the job or is he using the Michigan angle
to do one of two things. Get more money for himself,
which I believe he's already done, by the way, and
get more money for facilities and a staff at Arizona State.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
I thought you were going to say an angle to
get another job that's not Michigan, which would be what
whoever comes the Michigan coach.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
All right, So Kenny Dillingham is leaving Arizona State to
go to New Mexico, where Jason Eck just left to
go to NRB.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
I don't think Jason ck is going to get the
d NO, but I don't know Jed Fish.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Maybe I don't think he would leave for you, Dubb though,
I think I think Kenny Dilly Dillingham's next job is
either a job like the Michigan job, or it's the
job like the NFL.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
We agree though, that there is definitely a step between
Arizona State and Michigan, and Washington resides in that step.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Hundred percent unless you're an alum of ASU.
Speaker 5 (20:30):
That's fair.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
I think that's the difference with Dillingham that because he
went to school there, because he's from there.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
He's from Phoenix.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
By the way, Yeah, he went to ASU, graduated in
twenty twelve. I mean, he's it'd be like you and
me coaching the dogs, right, So for us it means
a lot more, a lot younger, exactly why, and not
nearly his chubby by the way, he's got a little
baby fat eye does Honestly, I mean, look at that guy.
He looks like he should be buying candy with his
mom for crying out loud. But I think I think
(21:00):
because of that, I think he's more app to stay in,
more app to only leave for a job like that. Like, guys,
look at what it took for Jonathan Smith to leave
Oregon State left. It took the PAC twelve falling apart
and disintegrating right for him to take off and leave
his alma mater and go to a place that you know,
they've had some success, they're in a final four like
(21:22):
what ten years ago with Gary DeNardo I think it was,
but they haven't won a lot at Michigan State.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
For crying out.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Loud, he left his alma mater to go to a
place like that. So I get the sense. And maybe
I'm wrong. Maybe Dillingham doesn't give a damn. Maybe he
has no allegiance to ASU whatsoever, and he just wants
the best deal at the best place for him that
can give him the best exposure and the best chance
to win at the highest level. But he's I do
think he's more app to stay there than other people
because he is from there.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Oh, I think he's got allegiance.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
There's no question but you know, there's a difference between
having allegiance and turning down twice the salary to go
to Washington. Sure, you know, if Washington's willing to offer
six and he's making three or whatever, and.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
What's he making, you know, wh he's Megan take a
lot and assume he's I'm.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Making more than three. He's making six million dollars in
twenty twenty five. And I think he just signed a
new deal, by the way. Uh, yeah, they just they
increased his deal. He's got an extension through two thousand
and thirty, so it'll give him nine million.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Yeah. I mean, he keeps winning, he keeps getting more money.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
But this Michigan thing again, this is when you guys say,
it's the number one topic of conversation amongst Husky fans
right now. Not that it's like Dick ninety five percent.
Everybody's talking about this, But if the number one conversation
is taking up forty percent of the Husky fan conversation, pie,
it's Jedfish and Michigan. I'm still reading stories in the
(22:40):
newspaper from Andy or Christian Caple on his website or whatever,
and they're all talking about.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
With the uncertainty and Jedfish's future.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
I'm like, do people really think that that there's a
lot of uncertainty over Jedfish?
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Maybe they do. I just feel the same way as
I did a week ago.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
I think Michigan would have to go pretty far down
their list before they would offer it to Jedfish.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
But maybe we're getting pretty far. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
I think it is the number one conversation topic of conversation.
I think it was even number one when the Huskies
still had a game to play, Yeah, which is kind
of unusual. You'd think that if they're still in the season. Oh,
I don't know, let's pay attention to the game they've
got coming and then maybe if the But it was
number one a week and a half ago too, so
it's definitely number one now because there's no more games
left and there's.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
No more recruiting left.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
And the longer they go without hiring somebody, obviously, right,
the more you tend to kind of wonder what's going
on with this? And somebody wrote this the other day,
I don't know who it was, that there's an investigation
happening right now in ann Arbor on campus, like an
internal investigation. To find out how many OnlyFans accounts Sharon
Moore really has, how many models he's been dming obviously
(23:44):
as the head coach of the Wolverines, how many staff
members he's been stooping? That's going on, and that's not
gonna They're not going to hire anybody until that investigation's over.
I'm not sure if that's accurate or not. Somebody just
like it. Does that matter, because whoever takes the job
wants to know what they're walking in to.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Right. Is Ward Manual going to be there? Is the
president going to be there? You know?
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Are they gonna have to go back on probation again?
Is there some violation that was I have no idea.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
I just look, I.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Mean, I wouldn't worry about it if I were violating,
if I were, well, who knows what was going on
behind the closed doors? Who knows what he was doing.
I got no idea what the guy was doing. I mean, yeah,
I mean, well that's disgusting first of all. Number one,
I mean, I don't think I'd go that far. But
the point is is that you never know, you never
know what the guy was doing behind the scenes. Let
(24:33):
me ask you this, do you think the NCUBLEA has
any interest in finding out what happened behind the scenes
that Michigan wish to Ron Moore probably, and then when
they come knocking, who knows what they come find. Right
to the Billy Jeh Hobart thing, the n CUBLEA didn't
knock on Udub's door because Billy Joe Hobert took a
loan out right, Actually they did, and then they found
other stuff.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
That's my point. You want to keep the n CUBLA
away from your front door.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
So I'm not if I'm a Michigan fan, Dick, I'm
not over the con earned about it. I'm just saying
that there is a thought that Michigan is not going
to hire somebody until the investigation comes to it ends.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Yeah, I mean, I just think these are sound to
me like all personal improprieties that really have nothing to
do with it.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
It does sound like yes, it does sound like that.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
But again, I mean the idea that somebody may want
to wait, or that Michigan may want to wait.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
We'll ask Rico he'll join us next from Detroit, uh
and get the thought from him on what the hell's
going on with Michigan's head coaching search. Gas Man's gonna
hop on at four o'clock as well, talk about his
Hoosiers in the fricking CFP number one in America.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Next on ninety three three KJRFM.
Speaker 6 (25:43):
From the R and R Foundation Specialist Broadcast Studio. Now
back to SOFTI and Dick on your Home for the Huskies,
Kraken and the twelfth Man Sports Radio, ninety three point
three kJ r FM.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
All right back here on a busy, busy Tuesday afternoon.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Right here on ninety three to three KJRFM, My guest
to know joining X segment talking about his beloved Indiana Hoosiers,
Heisman Trophy winner and number one team in America. My god,
all the odds have been on that statement being true
two years ago. You're hitting me herero Well, the host
of the Valente and Rico Show on ninety seven to
one the Ticket in Detroit. I got two questions, when
(26:22):
will Michigan hire a coach and who will it be?
And this guy knows the answer to both. He's going
to share it with us right now. Our friend, Rico
Beard Rico, how are you man?
Speaker 5 (26:32):
What's going on? Soft? The geez, that's a great question.
When will they hire a coach? I think they have
to do it before Christmas because you got portal season
coming up.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Now, who is it going to be?
Speaker 5 (26:45):
That's the million dollar question.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Yeah, well listen because you don't necessarily need an answer,
if you don't need to answer both those questions right now.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
I was just setting up.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
I was just setting up the interview as if to say,
that's the kind of thing we want to find out
from you. There's no how are you, what's going on,
how's life, how's the family?
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Blah blah blah. We haven't even gotten to take from you.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
And what the reaction was when Sharon Moore got fired
last week? I mean, what the hell has the last
week been like for you guys covering this story?
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Man?
Speaker 5 (27:13):
I mean it was, seriously, it was a breaking news.
We were talking hockey and all of a sudden it
was breaking news, and I thought my producer was about
to tell me that Derek Schouble had been traded to somebody,
Tiger Pitcher and he's like, shrown more fired and I
dave a double take, like and he was in my ear.
I'm like what. I'm like, hey, guys, we got breaking
news he was fired for just cause, and it was like,
(27:39):
oh wow. So as we're trying to scramble to figure
out what this inappropriate relationships, there had been rumors that
he had been dating one of the staffers, but you know,
I mean, guys, you know what it's like for rumors.
Internet rumors are going all the time. Well, this one
was true, and he did, and then it turned into
(28:01):
geez ended up being we were like ten minutes away
from this being a white Bronco driving down I ninety four,
because then he goes over to our house he threatened
to kill himself and it's just like.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
What the heck is going? Oh?
Speaker 5 (28:15):
I had never seen anything like this. Let's just put
it like that now.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
Obviously Michigan fans aren't happy about how this all went down,
But are most Michigan fans happy that Sharon Moore is
no longer the coach there?
Speaker 5 (28:30):
I think so. I think he had gotten to the
point where they didn't really care for him anymore. I
think that's what it goten because he was a space
filler and I think a lot of Wolverine saw him.
He wasn't Jim Harball and he was never going to
leave them to a national title. So they felt like
(28:50):
he had squandered Bryce Underwood, that's the five star quarterback
that they had by just turning around and handing the
ball off all year. He really wasn't allowed to do
as a quarterback. All he did was just hand the
ball off. So a lot of Michigan fans not sad,
they're embarrassed by how this went down because this athletic
(29:11):
program has had so many things happened to it. They're
actually being investigated by a law firm right now. Yeah,
have to just go through I think like twelve to
fourteen things have happened over ward Manual's watch.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Right, Well, yeah, and I want to get to the
details of what they're looking for. Who's on the list,
who you think they can get In a second, but
Dick and I were talking last segment that somebody Rico
tossed us out there Rico Beard again from Detroit with
us talking about the Michigan coaching search, which obviously Jed
Fish has been connected to that for the last few
(29:44):
days or so. But there's a thought that Michigan's not
going to hire anybody until this investigation closes.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
That's ongoing right now. On campus.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Do you buy that that that might be delaying hiring
a new coach.
Speaker 5 (29:58):
It might be because here's the thing. Michigan right now
currently does not have a president. I think this investigation,
they're gonna relieve Ward Manuel of his job as athletic director.
Speaker 6 (30:10):
Right.
Speaker 5 (30:10):
That means who's going to do the hiring.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
They don't want him hiring the next guy if he's
getting fired, right Yeah, why.
Speaker 5 (30:17):
Would any coach take a job and you don't know
who your boss is or who your boss's boss is.
So yeah, that means you're not the next athletics director,
you're not the next president's guy. So you're on a
short leach. So if things go sideways, I didn't really
like you anyway, you're fired. So yeah, I think that
it could there's a remote chance that this Pogy, the
(30:40):
acting coach, could by default be the head coach next year.
It'll be a lot like what happened with Ohio State
when Luke Fickle was the coach for one year. They
did a real search and they went out and got
Urban Meyer and then kind of turned things around. But
Fickle led the team to like a five been seven
or six and seven record that year. Wasn't great, but
(31:04):
he was kind of told keep this thing afloat until
we can get a real coach.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
When did campus leadership know what was going on with more?
Speaker 5 (31:14):
That's what the investigation is for, because they said, hey,
we did an investigation, and both parties said, nah, nothing's
going on, nothing's inappropriate. We are just work colleagues because
they was just person morest personal assistant. Then it came
out that I guess Moore fired her and she got
(31:36):
upset and had receipts and said, no, what we were
more than just colleagues, here's everything, And as soon as
they got that word on Wednesday, they fired him that day.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Yeah, well, who do Michigan fans want? Who would be
number one on the list? And in reality, who do
you think is number one on Michigan's list? And how
deep does it go before they get to the jail fish?
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Number one on.
Speaker 5 (32:03):
Their list is probably Kaitlin de Boor. But I think
he's finally put that to an end for now.
Speaker 4 (32:10):
Now.
Speaker 5 (32:10):
Alabama loves Oklahoma. Alabama's a crazy fan base. Alabama will
turn around and run him out of town, and he'd
run right into the arms of Michigan and at Arbor.
They're also looking at Kenny Dillingham from Arizona State, who
has done everything but just deny the fact that he's
not going to Michigan. When they've asked him the question.
It's like, Kenny, it's a real easy question, are you
(32:33):
going to Michigan? And he gives this long drawn out
answer instead of saying no, I'm coaching Arizona State. So
I think that they're probably doing some negotiation with his
agents to see what's happening. I think Jetfish is the
easy layout. Fish is the one that if those two
don't work out, we know we could ask Jetfish and
(32:55):
he's immediately going to hop on a flight and be
the next head coach of Michigan. That's how they see.
I don't know if that's how it is there, but
that's how they feel that Fish, I think is the
third choice. He's the he's the safety school, he's the
backup prom day. You know he's gonna say yet.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
Well, I think every Husky fan listening right now is
nodding their head when you say that, because there's just
not a lot of trust from the Husky fan base.
The Judfish wants to be here a long term But
are these candidates ahead of Fish waiting to see what
shakes out Rico or are Do you think they're just
saying no, and regardless of nothing comes up in the
next couple of weeks and everything's clean from a Michigan standpoint,
(33:34):
they'd still say no.
Speaker 5 (33:37):
I think a lot of it. They're waiting to see
what happens. They're waiting to see if they can somehow.
I think I think the bor is going to end
up turning this into more money at Alabama, more money
for his collective to get players in there, pledge to
the NIO package. I think they're saying with Dillingham, he's
played at Arizona State, he lives there, like, he's got
(33:59):
a wife's pregnant right now. He lives three doors down
from his parents, so it would be a big thing
for him to up and move. So I think he
may be trying to milk this as well, to try
to get as much money as possible. But I think
the biggest thing is you don't know what this investigation
is going to be, and this investigation is not on
(34:20):
any timeline. They don't have to hurry up and be
done before portal season, and there's a great chance that
by the time they finish, you know, it's gonna you know,
the portal's good window is going to be open. So
that's why I think for Michigan their best bet is
just to kind of right next year off and do
it the right way the following season.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
Yeah no, that's good. Call Rico Beard, great stuff. Keep
us abreast of the situation, all right, and we'll talk
down the road. Buddy, appreciate it, man, all right, so
you guys, thanks me on Rico Beard from ninety seven
to one. The ticket interesting thinks that just because of
the turmoil out there right now, that they may just
give Biff Pogy the job for a year and say,
let's reset year and see what's going on. Gives a
(35:02):
guy like Jed Fish one more year to figure out
what you dub and hey, if he wins and he
is more attractive to Michigan in twenty twenty seven after
going ten to two and making the playoff, sign me up,
I guess right, because that means you dub benefits from that.
We're gonna break. We'll talk more about this. Mike Gaston
are gonna join us and talk about maybe the most
(35:22):
ludicrous Storian sports in the last I don't know, twenty
five years, if not longer. The resurgence of Indiana football.
Next on ninety three three KJARFM,
