Episode 373 - Help Wanted: World Champs Looking for a Running Back   RUNDOWN   Mitch and Hotshot react to the growing likelihood that the Seahawks could lose star running back Kenneth Walker in free agency, debating whether John Schneider's reluctance to franchise tag him signals a different plan at running back. The conversation explores possible draft options, Seattle's roster strategy after a Super Bowl season, and the risks of relying on a rookie backfield solution. Jason Hamilton joins Mitch to discuss his decision to step away after 24 years as the radio analyst for Washington Huskies basketball, reflecting on his journey from UW player to assistant coach to broadcaster. Hamilton explains how the move from the Pac-12 to the Big Ten dramatically changed the travel demands of the job, making it increasingly difficult to balance with his career and family life. Brady Farkas and Joe Doyle join Mitch to analyze the biggest storylines emerging from Mariners spring training, including the development of top prospects Colt Emerson, Cole Young, and Cade Anderson. The discussion covers roster realities heading toward Opening Day—why Emerson likely starts in the minors, how Brendan Donovan stabilizes the top of the lineup, and whether Brennan Davis could force his way into the outfield mix later in the season. RJ Eskanos and Dylan Travers join Mitch to break down the Seattle Kraken's precarious playoff positioning with 20 games remaining, describing the Pacific Division race as a "turtle derby" where nearly every contender is struggling. The trio discuss the team's inconsistency, the addition of volume-shooting forward Bobby McMann, Jordan Eberle's contract extension, and the surprising resurgence of goaltender Philipp Grubauer.   GUESTS   Jason Hamilton | Former University of Washington point guard and longtime Huskies basketball radio analyst Brady Farkas | Host, Refuse to Lose podcast Joe Doyle | MLB analyst, Over Slot RJ Eskanos | Emerald City Hockey Dylan Travers | Emerald City Hockey   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Seahawks Running Back Drama, Draft Speculation, and a Classic Mitch Birthday Quiz 23:25 | Jason Hamilton: Reflects on 24 Years on the Huskies Broadcast and Why the Big Ten Era Helped Prompt His Exit 52:28 | Mariners No-Table: Mariners Spring Training Check-In: Prospect Buzz, Opening Day Roster Battles, and Rotation Futures 1:19:16 | Kraken No-Table: Kraken Cling to Playoff Spot as Pacific Division "Turtle Derby" Keeps Seattle Alive 1:43:48 | Other Stuff Segment: Netflix dinosaur series recommendation with Steven Spielberg and Morgan Freeman, World Baseball Classic excitement and Shohei Ohtani's hot start, Julio Rodríguez and other Mariners contributing across WBC rosters, Trent McDuffie becomes highest-paid cornerback and joins Rams secondary, Maxx Crosby says goodbye to Raiders and heads to Ravens, March Madness bracket week and projected No. 1 seeds, Dak Prescott and Sarah Jane Ramos call off wedding, Jurickson Profar gets 162-game PED suspension, McDonald's CEO mocked for awkward Big Arch promo video, Britney Spears arrested for DUI, ancient pyramid vandalized by tour guide, Argentine youth viral animal-identifying trend, professional bowler Cameron Crow arrested on drug charges, missing woman found alive 24 years after disappearing during Christmas shopping RIPs: Robert Carradine, Neil Sedaka, Lou Holtz

On this episode of The Jon Gordon Podcast, I sit down with Brian White, veteran football coach, Harvard alum, and author of the upcoming book 'The Locker Room is Not for Sale', out now! Brian opens up about his forty-year journey through some of college football's leading programs, sharing powerful lessons on what makes the locker room a place for genuine connection, growth, and authenticity. Together, we discuss the challenge of nurturing team culture in today's world of NIL and big money, and why true success is built on brotherhood, unity, and the power of the human touch—not just on transactions or talent. Hear why "real is real, real is rare, and real has no color," and learn how anyone, whether coach, leader, or teammate, can wake up flying, attack the day, and capture the moment. Brian shares so many gems. You'll walk away inspired to build stronger, more unified teams and communities, both on and off the field. Check out Brian's new book, The Locker Room is Not for Sale!

During his decorated career he has been to the mountaintop celebrating a national championship while at Notre Dame in 1988, 2 Rose Bowl victories at Wisconsin, and coached 1999 Heisman Trophy winner Ron Dayne. He has also looked into abyss while going through a winless season coaching the Washington Huskies in 2008. To say he has seen it all in his career is an understatement! He is a proven developer of talent as the seemingly endless list of draft picks serves as testimony. Ron Dayne, Michael Bennett, Lee Evans, Aaron Gibson, Chris McIntosh, and Hall of Famer Joe Thomas were all ist round draft picks from Wisconsin while he was their coordinator. Chris Chambers, Brandon Williams, Cecil Martin, Chris Pressley, Brooks Bollinger, Jim Sorgi, Jonathon Orr, Brian Calhoun, Bill Ferrario, Casey Rabach, Al Johnson, Mark Tauscher, Ben Johnson, Dan Buenning, Owen Daniels and Mark Anelli were all NFL draft picks under his leadership. While at Syracuse for two years he put his NFL stamp on RB's Curtis Brinkley, Delone Carter, and WR Mike Williams. While at Florida he coached NFL players like Chris Rainey, Jeff Demps, Mike Gillislee, Matt Jones, Mack Brown, Aaron Hernandez, and Jordan Reed. At Boston College he recruited ist round draft pick WR Zay Flowers and 2nd round draft pick RB AJ Dillon. Both finished their careers as the all time leading receiver and rusher in school history respectively finding "diamonds in the recruiting rough" is his passion and developing them to their peak performance best is his daily pursuit as he jumps out of bed and attacks every day….

It was a rough night for the Kraken in Dallas… All of our experts have stressed the importance of a good start for the Kraken coming out of the Olympic break and last night's 4-1 loss to Dallas was anything but good.

Chuck doesn't need to wait until tomorrow to make his predictions for this Seahawks/49ers game. It just seems like the Seahawks are set up for another dominant performance, given the talent on this defense and the injuries to San Francisco. Yes, there are things that are unpredictable in any given game, so there's always a chance that the outcome doesn't go our way, but the confidence in the Seahawks is high! :30- Dane Moore announced that he's headed back to Oregon for another year, so what happens to Dylan Raiola now? It seems like quite the contrast from the Demond Williams situation at Washington… :45- Get out the Char-Coacherie Board- John Harbaugh is headed to New York! Harbaugh met with the Giants yesterday and canceled his planned interviews for today and tomorrow, so all signs point to him becoming the next Giants head coach for about $30 million a year.

How confident is Spencer, the Seahawks fan feeling about Saturday's Divisional round matchup with the 49ers? :30- Fred Warner's practice window was opened yesterday and while the Niners say the goal is to have him ready for next week if they advance; there's still a chance we could see him on Saturday. :45- It's hot stove time!

John and Josh dive into the mess surrounding the Washington Huskies quarterback.

First he's here, then he's gone and now… he's back? Demond Williams signed a revenue sharing deal with UW on January 2nd, before deciding he could do better at LSU and announcing he was entering the transfer portal, blindsiding coaches, teammates and his agent. Unfortunately for Demond, the contract he signed was legally binding and now, he's “decided” to come back to UW.

How elite is his defense and is this team playing it's best ball? :30- CAM CLEELAND (Learfield Washington color analyst) The Demond Williams saga took quite a turn yesterday when he announced his return to UW, how does Cam feel about the whole thing?

The future Commish of College Football offers advice to Huskies fans upset over Demond Williams, and previews the Ducks-Hoosiers rematch in the CFP Semifinals

Headlines and 12th Man news with GREGG BELL (Tacoma News Tribune) Gregg can do it all, so we start off the conversation by asking him for his thoughts on the Demond Williams/college football chaos. What has Klint Kubiak's week been like and could the interview process affect playoff preparations? :30- SOFTY joins the show to give us his thoughts and insight on the Demond Williams situation. Rumors are that Demond Williams blindsided everyone at UW and made the decision to leave UW with his family, leaving everyone else in shock. What effects will this have on Washington outside of just losing Demond? The repercussions could be huge. For those wondering, no, there was zero chance Demond didn't know what was going on at UW at the time he made his announcement and that alone has a lot of people up in arms. :45- It's time to get Reckless at Breakfast and we are sticking with college football. Chuck has discussed the state of college football in this segment a lot over the years, from tournaments, to conference realignment, to coaches and players jumping ship. He's also talked about college football one day becoming professional and we are closer to that than ever before. Will Chuck's next prophecy ring true- is the NFL waiting to swoop in and takeover college football? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Demond Williams situation is everything that is wrong with college football and people are rightfully angry about it. Not only did Williams sign a revenue-sharing deal with UW just days ago, but he announced he was leaving while his teammates and coaches were at a memorial service. Why are people shocked that the NFL is less corrupt than college football? That's not new. :30- The Baltimore Ravens have parted ways with John Harbaugh and he's already in high demand as seven teams have reportedly contacted him already.
