Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's time for our weekly conversation with college football analyst
Petros Papa Dakas.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Not that I'm a smart guy, I'm stupid.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
Brought to you by Sweet James Accident Attorneys forty one years.
If you're hurt in an accident, called Sweet James right
away at eight hundred and five hundred and fifty two hundred.
Sweet James will be sweet to you, but tough on
insurance companies that will bully you.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Now with Petros Peers, Dave Softy Muller loss.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Righty, Boys and girls, here we go in a busy
Wednesday on ninety three to three KJRFM.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Grab your DUTs.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Our otter hashtag bless to talk to. Really, I just
think one of the one of the greatest celebrity guests
in sports talk radio history, a guy that Jackson. You
can confirm every producer in the country is just lining
up to beg this man to join their little measley,
stupid ass show, to maybe potentially driver for a few
minutes and then go on to their same miserable self
(01:03):
they had before. An unbelievable father, incredible husband, and one
damn fine Greek American. It's our Buddy Petros Papadocus, brought
to you by.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
The one and all these tweet James. I'm on the
phone old school style tonight, Sweet James can come through
for you if you've ever been in a car accident
or a motorcycle accident, but perhaps the dam there's bitten
your balls, whatever has happened. Sweet Chanmes knows the ancient
secrets in which to unlock the money you deserve from
your insurance company. Give me a call at eight hundred
(01:37):
and nine million or sweet day dot com.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
How going good? Explain to people why you're on the
phone and not the typical crystal clear com rex connection
that we often enjoy.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Well, I wanted a tape with you earlier today and
that wasn't available, And I just got done with my
show out in El Segundo at the Chargers camp at
their new Chargers facility, the Bolt It's called in El Segundo.
El Segundo is a very small community in the South
(02:12):
Bay between the La Airport and Tony Manhattan Beach. El
Segundo means the second because in I think it was
like the turn of the century. Two centuries ago, Chevron
or Standard Oil had their second West coast plant here
(02:33):
and basically built the city around it. That's el segundo.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Holy cow, I had no idea. Now here's the thing.
You could be making that whole thing up, but all
of us would buy it. That's a hell of a
story making it up.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Wow, I'm not I'm not making it up. It's a Also,
you have a lot of people who work at Boeing
and raytheon and a lot of the aerospace and building
missiles to shoot at Kanafi kind of stuff. Do you know?
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Do you know where the name Seattle came from? Any
idea where the name Seattle came from?
Speaker 2 (03:06):
I always thought it was a Native American name having
something to do with the totem pole near the underground
from that great Scooby Doo episode.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Not from that episode, but a different episode that includes
a guy named Chief Self who was the chief I
believe the of the Dwamish people back in the day,
and so they took Selth and they got Seattle from that.
So it's got nothing to do with Scooby Doo or
any other cartoon out there. But how how, my numbingly
boring is that Chargers training camp from your perspective.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Well, did it have anything to do with Russell Wilson
saying hey settle No, okay, all right.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Now I'm looking for that drop by the way, the
hell yeah, there you go.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
There it is. You know, football practice, or anybody's football
practice in a high level is all spread out. And
I mean they had a nine on seven. I didn't
walk over and look at it. It was only a
two hour show. They brought dayon Henley, the linebacker from
Washington State played at Nevada. Great guy by and JK. Dobbins,
(04:14):
the running back who's come there from Baltimore, and the
other Harbaugh family. We talked to him, and we talked
to Aloie Gilman, the safety who's from Notre Dame. So
we talked a few guys, chopped up about camp, made
fun of the La Metro system, and now we're done.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Yeah, those all sound like ratings grabbers, by the way,
all those conversations.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Man, it's in the contract to go out to ARCT.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Well, how's how's old Jimmy Harbob been towards the media.
I mean, it's a guy that was pretty stand offish
when he was in San Francisco, and I don't know
how he was in Michigan. But you know, he was
going to go out and be the honorary captain for
the Fresno game in a couple of weeks, and they
pulled the plug on that because they don't want to
piss off the NCAA even more. And now is Mommy
and Daddy, jack and Jackie gonna go represent him instead.
(05:03):
But how's how's Jimmy harbod been with the media so
far down there?
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Well, as you know, I would say the Seattle media
is even tougher and has more sharp teeth, as I've
said many times on your show than the LA media.
The LA media is pretty soft and much more of
kind of like a propaganda arm, you know, stroking off
(05:29):
guys like Lebron and stuff like that. That's LA media
has always been like that. It's part of the city,
and we used to have a tougher media that really
scrutinized things like sc and UCLA football. But every once
in a while some reporter will get a wild hair
about something. But you better really be on the hot
(05:49):
seat to get the LA media's higher up against you.
Except for that time Lincoln Riley tried to suspend that reporter.
That's that's how bad Lincoln Riley's decision was there. I mean,
how do you piss off the LA media. It's the
most docile, compliant media in the sports world out there,
and gosh, I would even argue the sports media is
(06:10):
probably a lot tougher towards certain people than are mainstream media,
which is an absolute joke in today's day and age.
But I digress. Harbaugh out here seems like a more
kinder and gentler Harbaugh in some ways, unless somebody pushes
him about an injury. But as far as my relationship goes,
(06:32):
I know Harball, so it's a little bit different. You know,
I knew him when he was in USD, So I'm
not as I'm not as starstruck about all the things
he's accomplished as a coach since he's become a coach,
and he's accomplished a lot. Yeah, and it'll be interesting
to see what the Chargers will be like. I have
no gauge on it. And that guy Justin Herbert's in a.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Boot right now.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Yah, And Sheena Easton, you idiots, what about Sena Easton?
Speaker 3 (07:02):
I mean, we're technically looking for an Easton first name.
I guess in that conversation, but I'll allow it. I'll
allow it. I will allow it. Good work out of you,
Yes she did, Yes she did. That is a that
is a good call.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I need you two of hearts, two hearts that he
has wanted to.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
I need you, I need you. I will allow it.
I think Jim Harbaugh is gonna do very very well
with the Chargers. I think he's gonna win. He's gonna
win fast in LA. And I would not be surprised
if that team Petros, I swear to you in the
super Bowl within two seasons in LA. That's how fast
it it'll go. He'll win really quick.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Well, i'll give you my radio partner's number. He's the
voice balls. You guys could have a real session.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Well, he's got to be just as full of propaganda
as the rest of the LA media. If he's doing
the Charges play by play, if madness, Yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Mean if you work for somebody, I mean working for
a team, as you know, and that's one thing I
don't really do. I mean as a station. We work
with the Dodgers, but I mean the other night, Oral
herscheizer on the air said that I'm a baseball expert,
and he was being facetious. You know, all these people
(08:16):
texted me like oral said, you're a baseball expert. It's like, yeah,
he's joking, Like, no one takes me seriously to talk
about baseball or anything like that. But I'm really glad
and maybe one day I will that I don't work
for a team like sc or UCLA or something like
that where they get all butt hurt about every single
little thing you say and get all scared about what
(08:39):
you might say and basically you live under their thumb
like the Rolling Stone song, and that's no way to live,
as you know.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Yeah, well, but it sounds like, at least for you
and USC. Ever, since you're a little sitting down with
Jen Cohen that you know, maybe there's been an olive
branch and things are starting to develop where down the
road you might have a relationship once again with your
alma mater.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Yeah, if they gave me a job, I take it.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
You want your pa gig back?
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Maybe, well, Jen, I mean that would be an olive branch. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Jen Cohen calls you up, Hey, Petronks, we'd like to
give you back your women's basketball PA job. Would you
take it? Women's I thought you did women's games. You
did men's games.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Too, you know I might hang out.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
I'm sorry, I thought you just did the women's basketball games.
I apologize profusely. No, we're doing everything I had.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
I'd go do ju Ju. Yeah, that she's there, I'd
go do one of those games.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
I thought, Okay, so you did you know what, It's
been so long since you've done those games. I forgot.
Hey did I ask you last week about Reggie Bush,
like ten years? Yeah? Well that's my point. It's been
ten years. I mean, geez, I'm sorry. I can't remember
what I was doing this morning, for God's sakes, let
alone somebody else's job ten years ago. Did I ask
you about Reggie Bush's heisman being back on campus and
how fired up you are for that?
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Yeah, you tried to make a thing about that, And
I wasn't excited then, and I'm not excited now that
you've brought it up again. But if I was Jen Collen,
I would be really really worried about trying to bring
Reggie back there to celebrate them him and them in
turn and USC and the whole history and heritage, because
(10:28):
it's a great opportunity for Reggie to embezzle the university
and ask for money or something like that, which is
what OJ used to do back in the day because
he hated Mike Garrett, you know, before he was arrested
for murder and charge. When OJ would like have an
event or something, he would show up to if us
he didn't pay him like ten thousand dollars, he wouldn't
(10:50):
show up. He'd do like a video, which happened on
more than one occasion. So I'm sure us he's reluctant
to call Reggie because Reggie probably wants money because that's
the kind of guy. Reggie.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Wow. I mean, I'm not trying to do anything. And
by the way, just to just go back for a second,
Two of Hearts was by Stacy Q, not by Sheena Eastern.
So yeah, she did hits like for your Eyes only.
She did you got the look with Prince morning Train.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Oh that's right. She was one of Princess Chit. Yeah,
like Vanity and those other.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
One almost over you telephone whatever, But that was Stacy Q.
I just want to correct the record, and I'm not
trying to do anything with Reggie Bush. I mean I'm not.
I mean, you just kind of went down this rat.
He's just a big horror that just wants money.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
You've been pushing this weird Reggie Bush at Genda for
a couple of weeks now, trying to get me to
talk about it. I don't know why. And now you've
done it. You've got what you wanted. I hope it
was worth it.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
It was very much worth it, by the way, very
much worth it. You know, we got college football a
week from Saturday. You wear that. There's a game next Saturday,
Florida State in Georgia Tech at nine am. We're two
weeks away from you dubbing Weber State aut A. O
are they at Ogden?
Speaker 4 (12:02):
So?
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Wait? Where are we a week away from week zero?
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Yes, we're a week away from week zero, and we're
two weeks away, two weeks this Saturday away from the
Huskies going against against Weaver.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Yeah, all right, Well I have a week one game,
but not a week zero game. Fox has a week
zero game. I don't remember which one it is. I
think Kim Brando is on it, and they're going to
do that Ireland game. Huh.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Why not just call week zero week one and week
one week two?
Speaker 2 (12:34):
I guess because week zero is such an odd Uh,
most people don't play it, so I guess it's not
it's not significant enough to say it's week one.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Yeah, but don't you think college football misses the mark
by just not loading up on big games in the
first week? Like why not have a game on a
Wednesday night, a game on a Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
There's no NFL, right, I mean, everyone's had the entire
offseason to get ready for a game. Why not just
take the entire week and have a bunch of big
ass games in week one and let's get everybody fired up.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Well, I think you're starting to see the beginnings of that,
at least just with this Friday night game thing that
the Big Ten is trying to make happen, and you'll
see more and more of that competition for viewers on
Friday night, where a game that is not necessarily the
hottest game on a Saturday because it's only up against
(13:31):
one or two other things on a Friday, becomes quite
desirable and watched a great deal. That's actually we saw
that in the symposium at Fox or whatever they went
through how valuable that is. So basically, you're moving a
game that a lot of people wouldn't see because everybody's
watching something else the Friday night and that brings a
(13:54):
hell of a lot more eyeballs to it. But you know,
coaches don't like having their their schedule changed. So much
of college football, especially with the time constraints, is very
very tied down with how long you can be with
the players, and it's really really scheduled and routine oriented.
(14:16):
So maybe that's part of it. But I think you're
going to see a lot more competition for Friday night
viewers in the future.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Yeah. Well, I love Friday that game selfishly, I think
they're great. The fans don't like them in general terms,
but I think they're awesome. Petros with us. Did you
enjoy the Olympic Games and Lebron getting embarrassed by Leo
Marshawn when he came to a basketball game and everyone
thought Lebron or Lebron thought it was him they were
cheering for. Did you see that?
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Yes, Yeah, Lebron's today hole. You saw the way he
was with that little.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Kid, I saw that the club, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Really embracing his inner Kareem Abdul Jabbar. Lebron usually doesn't
cuss kids out on camera or get stern with them
on camera, but it happened there and then he's dancing
five seconds later like a jackass with basketball short song
walking into a Parisian club. The one thing I will
say about Friday night games softie for a place like
(15:14):
even Seattle, and you know there's just some places city
wise it doesn't work like Friday night at the Rose Bowl.
I mean what you know, Friday night at the LA
Coliseum with LA traffic and the way that is right.
You know, it's one thing to do it in Champagne
or Bana or Kinnick or places that they're going to
(15:38):
show up at that stadium no matter what day of
the week it is, but you really do have to
try to avoid it in these more metropolitan areas in
college football. That would be my only point about that.
And I'm glad the Olympics are over. I just can't
stop watching the Kangaroo. Australian are the breakdancer, breakdancer? Yeah,
(16:02):
break the breakdancer who was a professor in breakdancing, so
somebow that means you can break dance, yep, And she
embarrassed the entire country of Australia in one of their
proudest Olympics and like the most metals they've ever won.
All anybody's gonna remember is a stupid thirty six year
old weirdo who weaseled her way into the breakdancing.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Oh, give her a chance to do it again in
La breaking too, Electric Muggaloo remember that.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Oh, let's go turbo heat turbo.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Do you really need breakdancing as an Olympic sport? Do
you really need three on three basketball?
Speaker 2 (16:43):
No? No, or flag football or any of this dumb
ass stuff? Right? I mean, some of these sports are
cultural and you get it, like team handball or badminton
or second that might be more pompular. Crickets coming back.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
I'm shocked and had cricket has not been an Olympic
sports since like nineteen o eight, and that stuns the
hell out of me.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
But that's something that has popularity around the world, all right.
I mean, I guess I understand breakdancing if you're gonna
go out there with the ribbon and flapping around, or
go out there and catch a ball with your crotch
like they do in rhythmic gymnastics. You know, is there
a rhythmic gymnastics movie, Not that I know of, but
(17:26):
there's at least three there's at least three breakdancing movies,
Breaking Breaking, two Electric Boogaloo, and don't forget about Beat Street.
That's what idea of the beat coming down the street,
Beat Street.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Petrose, you're the man, great stuff. I'm glad you survived
training camp with the Chargers and Ell sagod noo. And
we'll talk in a week.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Man. See you pal tell Dick that Sina Easton totally counts.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
I will tell him, and I'm allowing it, so it's
not even necessary. There's a great pull by you. You're
the man. Petros Papadoaka is with us. We're gonna break
a lot more to get to include Larry Stone. Back
at five on ninety three to three KJRFM Live from the.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
R and R Foundation Specialists Broadcast Studio. Now back to
Softie and Dick on your home for the Huskies and
the Kruken Sports Radio ninety three point three kjr FM.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
I already hear from Mike McDonald the matter of seconds.
This was after the joint of practice today with the
Tennessee Titans in Nashville, where shockingly, there was not one
fight that broke out during the joint practice today. I
would have lost a lot of money, by the way,
betting against that happening. I would have thought for sure
there would have been a fight.
Speaker 5 (18:35):
Well, I heard Greg Bell mention earlier today that the
teams were brought to the middle of the field before
the scrimmage. Okay, so I think there was a bit
of a you know, the warning, Yes, kind of like
you know when the kids get in the back seat
before a long drive. Well, they had you guys be
good to each other. We've got a two hour drive.
I don't want to hear the fighting. There was a
(18:56):
fine I think a couple weeks ago. It was the
Lions and Giant. Yeah, they were each find two hundred
thousand for multiple fights last week during practice.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
So who's the owner of the Titans? Is it Bud
Adam's daughter? What's her name, Amy something something something, Amy
Adams Strunk, the actress. Is that her name? I think
it's Amy Adams Strunk. Do I have that right? Look
it up? Look in the Titans owner. Good job, you
got it. Amy Adams Strunk and Jody Allen said, Look,
we might be billionaires, but we're not giving you putts.
(19:28):
Is a dime you fight you're paying, so I get
it right. Nobody wants to pay any money for fights.
But before we get to the Mike McDonald thing, I
do want to just bring some up. I was on
with our buddy Ryan Fowler today in Tuscaloosa, and it's
unbelievable how many times that guy calls me to go
on his show. And I have no problem doing it
because I like Ryan, we have fun, we get along whatever.
(19:50):
But every little move that Caylen de Boer makes, he'll
shoot me a text. Hey man, what does this mean?
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Right?
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Caln de Boor had coffee but no sugar with his cream?
Speaker 2 (20:02):
What does this mean?
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Kaitlyn de bor prefers broccoli but not carrots. He likes
to steak medium well not medium race. What happened today?
He had some comment about his roster and he was
being positive, and Ryan wanted to have me on to
explain to his audience whether or not Kaitlyn de Boor
is really at his sole a positive person or is
(20:23):
he just telling us what we want to hear. It
is incredible, dude, twenty four to seven Alabama football. He
cannot fart without somebody knowing about it. In Tuscaloosa the closest.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
We ever got to that was twenty thirteen, fourteen and
fifteen with the Seahawks. I mean we were there was
a good ten months out of the year where it
was Seahawks first, Seahawks second, Seahawks third, and oh yeah,
there's a Husky team and a Marinath team in this
sho totally absolutely, and I honestly didn't like it.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
I mean I like the variety.
Speaker 5 (20:57):
I do not think I would do well in a
one horse town sports market.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Yeah, you know you got to have more things to
talk about. Well, I'll tell you what. I would love it.
You can never get away with that up here, but
I would love talking Husky football at twenty four to seven.
The thing is is that this is going to continue, right,
I mean, every little move that this guy makes is
dissected by everybody down there. And it brought up this
topic because he asked me. He's like, hey man, PFF
(21:23):
has Kaylin to bore number two on their coaches list.
Do you think he's number two? I was like, all right,
well tell me who's on the list and we'll talk
about it. Kirby smart number one. He's won a title,
multiple titles. I have no problem with that. Kaylen de
Bore's number two. And then here's the rest of the list.
Dan Lanning, number three, Dabo Sweeney, Kyle Whittingham, Mike Norvell,
(21:44):
Steve Sarkeshan, Brian Kelly, Lane Kiffin is the ninth best
coach in America, and then Ryan Day at Ohio State.
I mean, isn't there there's a lack of big name
coaches when Steve Starkesan is on the list and number
seven Dan Lanning, who, let's face it, he's won nothing
of significance yet at Oregon. He's choked against his biggest
(22:06):
rival three times at Oregon. And I, by the way,
I think you've got to be a complete third to
not win games at Oregon because of all the resources
you have down there. But there's no Peterson anymore, there's
no Urban Myers, there's no Nick Saban. So all these
guys just march up the list. And I mean, look,
I know Dabo's had kind of a dry spell, but
putting Dan Lanning over Dabos Sweeney and Kyle Whittingham for
(22:29):
me is ludicrous.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
I am I missing, am I missing the big game?
Dan Lanning has won or another. That's why I just
said he hasn't want to. He beat Liberty in the
Fiesta bal Liberty. That's his biggest win, Dave. And not
only has he not had a big Now, if you
want to do a top ten recruiting rankings, I'll put
Dan Lanner out there top ten recruiting ranking.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
That's fine.
Speaker 5 (22:49):
But not only did he not win the big games,
he cost his team the big wins. I mean he
cost his team this victory here in this stadium in
the middle of the season. It was Dan Lanning who
lost that football game against the Huskies. There is no
doubt in my mind that he lost that game. So
I thank him from the bottom of my heart because
(23:10):
without that game, we wouldn't be where we are.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Well, look, I think again that your coach in the
Oregon Ducks, you should be winning ten games a year
because there's no coach in America honestly who's going to
have a bigger sugar daddy. And look, I'd love to
have that at Washington. I mean this is not you know,
I'm not slamming Oregon. Good for them. If Steve Balmer
wanted to step up and blow Phil Knight out of
the water financially, which he could do. I would love
(23:34):
to have that for U Dubs. I think it's great
for Oregon fans. But Mark Helfrich woke up as the
coach of the Oregon Ducks and had a top twenty
class just because he was the coach of the Ducks.
So you got to be a bum to mess up
that situation. And look, maybe he'll do it this year.
Maybe this is the year that Dan Lanning ends up
winning something of significance and makes the twelve team playoff
(23:55):
and wins a couple of games and makes the final four,
and maybe he even wins a title. But man Dan
Lanning over Dabo Sweeney, who's won multiple titles at Clemson,
and Kyle Whittingham, who I think is a hell of
a coach and has won in every conference he's been in,
And he'll do it again in the Big Twelve. By
the way, too, I think you tah is in a
great spot in the Big twelve. Mike McDonald, Seahawk head coach,
(24:18):
addressing the media. Can you hear the questions? By the way, obviously,
Pat peevenmind, Okay. Mike McDonald, Seahawk head coach after today's
joint practice with the Tennessee Titans. Yeah, it's a great work.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
Working with these guys. Coaching staff was great, setting the
whole thing up. The organization I thought was was solid
and the guys are ready to practice. You know, it's
eight am our time. I thought the mentality was right.
I can't wait to watch the tape. I just told
the team, like, you know, you get you know, jawing
and things and some extra stuff like and for the
most part we were responsible. I thought we did a
good job. But I just want the guys to know,
(24:50):
like what shows up on tape is is who we are.
So let's make sure we're doing the right things when
you know, between the lines and h when we watch
it and then we'll go from there. But exciting time
from what we did see in real time from the defense,
the fake, a lot of positive things at the line
of scrimmage and especially with our ones. Some things in
the in the back end when we need to we
need to clean up for sure, and uh, you know
(25:13):
to defense. You know, we'll evaluate what it looks like.
I don't want to come to any conclusions right now,
but we'll we'll see, we'll see when we get a
chance to watch it.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Backing off, what you said earlier, it seemed like guys
kind of towed the line well of competitive and getting effort,
but not nothing went over the line.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
Yeah, there's a couple of ones. We just want to
be a little smarter going to the ground and stuff
where we're trying to stay on our feet. But for
the most part, guys did a good.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Job very much.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
I think he felt a little tweak or something where
he didn't finish practice, but I think he's I think
he's good to go.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
But is there Tyler hasn't been to him much.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
Yeah, he's got a little something going on with the
in his leg right now, but he's he's good. Tyler
will be ready to roll. Uh Yeah, he just he
was tight this morning and so we're uh, we're trying
to figure out what's going on.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
With where's whether we have this out there at the
end of the Like he was in hug in a
lot of action today.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
What do you think of his day with tom on Spoon.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Yeah, well I have to blitz him because otherwise I'll
complain the whole practice, So I got to send him early.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
So he's doing a good job. Is there any concern
with Baker still being out in how the you know,
like asking.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
Corps, I have just the same mentality. Just get the
other guys ready to go, and then when he comes back,
we'll be rolling Treek only's.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
Stayed on the right side of this first couple of years.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
You guys been really.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
Fund how much he did that today, but just in general,
when he's been on the other side, where did you
seem for mental It's funny you at It's like this
is I didn't know that like when we showed up,
so things like you change. We're just say, man, like
both everybody plays both sides. But I think Tarik has
some great plays today. Man, So we're we're excited for him,
but we haven't played a game yet. So you know,
my challenge to him is how good can you get
(26:45):
in the next you know, two three weeks before we
play a game.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
You know, I tell you what you hear this guy talk.
He does not sound like a thirty five year old kid.
And I say thirty five year old because he's sixteen
years younger than me. I could literally be this guy's father.
It's unbelievab man. I guess biologically could yeah, I mean,
you hire Rick new Heisl when he's thirty five. You
hire Sark when he's thirty four. You hire this guy
when he's thirty five. I mean, it's a trend, right,
(27:09):
and you know what, it kind of typically works. It
feels like, you know NFL teams and college teams and
just say the hell with it. Let's go with a
young guy that can relate, recruit whatever.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
You know.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Jed Fish's forty eight, I think whatever, But he's been
around for a while, first though Jewish head coach in
the history of Husky football. So I feel like I
should have like a real kind of discount now or
like relationship with him or a big in with him
because of that. Do you no? Not yet? I hear
this guy talk, and I don't hear a first year
head coach. No, I don't either.
Speaker 5 (27:38):
I just remember some of the coaches that have been
hired that we have thought around the NFL, like, Wow,
this guy just doesn't sound like he commands a room.
And guess where those guys are in three years hired.
They're back to coordinators, right, And you have to be
able to command or like that's one of the prerequisites
of being a great coach. You have to have the presence,
(27:58):
you have to be able to command room. Now, part
of the presence comes with winning, and he hasn't done
that yet.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
He hasn't had the opportunity to that yet.
Speaker 5 (28:05):
But just having that ability, I mean, I'm encouraged by
what we're seeing here.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
So Jackson Bevins gave me a great stat I think
it's true. I'll just assume it is. I mean, he's
he's got a good track record, so I assume it's
true that. How many coordinators from the twenty twenty two
NFL season do you think are still coordinators with that
same team in twenty twenty four, twenty two seasons? Twenty
(28:30):
two seasons? So think of thirty two NFL ocs, how
many of them are still with the same team two
years later in the NFL two one And it's Ben
Johnson because he turned down the commanders. Now, if he
would have taken that gig, there'd be zero. They either
get fired or they get coaching. Here's my point. There
is such a lack of quality candidates out there. If
(28:52):
Ryan Grubb kills it for two years in this offense,
he's done right. He's on his way. Ryan Grubb will
be a head coach in the NFL. In two years
will be a head coach in the NFL. Are will
be a head coach at a Power five. No, I
think he'ld be an NFL head coach. I think I
think somebody in the NFL. He'll be fifty years old,
that's right. I think somebody will hire him. I mean,
would you rather be an NFL head coach or a
Power five NFL? Right? I mean you know somebody had
(29:14):
that thought that maybe Fish goes and Ryan Grubb steps
in to take his spot at you dub and look
if he's not ready yet, maybe he does do that.
But no, I think if he given that number we
just said, if Ryan Grubb ends up having success, he's
he's a head coach in the National Football League in
two years from now, because that's what these guys do.
Either A they stink and they get fired, like you said,
(29:34):
or B they do good and they end up getting
a head job. Man, don't get comfortable with this guy.
If he does what we think he's gonna do, he's
not gonna be here in twenty twenty seven, all right?
