00:00
We were talking about this guy, Grubb, and you brought up a point we wouldn't look like.
00:03
I guess Mike McDonald said he didn't align.
00:06
What was the word you said, Joe?
00:08
What was the nonsense phrase that he gave?
00:10
He didn't align with what his vision was for the football team.
00:15
Here, we'll translate that for you quickly here on Coast to Coast.
00:19
That means that Mike McDonald didn't like that they threw the ball so much because that's
00:25
what they did.
00:26
I mean, they threw it.
00:27
They moved the football.
00:28
I mean, Smith and Jigba had a good year.
00:29
I mean, Metcalf didn't have his best year, but Walker was hurt half the games, as I said
00:36
to you.
00:37
So this is one of these guys, as Gopher to two, Joe Lisi always likes to say.
00:41
He's one of these defensive-minded head coaches who, instead of winning games 40 to 20, wants
00:48
to lose them 16-13.
00:50
That's what Mike McDonald does in Seattle.
00:52
So he's going to go find himself an offensive coordinator who's just going to plow it into
00:56
the line three times and punt.
00:58
That's obviously, Joe, what he's looking for.
01:00
Yeah.
01:01
I mean, they were one of the number one or number two in pass attempts, and you mentioned
01:06
it.
01:07
They finished seventh in passes, eighth in passing yards.
01:10
Geno Smith broke two of his own team records for passing yards and completion percentage.
01:16
And you mentioned all the guys that had amazing, you know, Jackson Smith and Jigba had a monster
01:22
year.
01:23
I, you know, Geno Smith had nothing but great things to say about him.
01:28
No kidding.
01:29
But don't forget, he had already taken the job before they hired him at Alabama because
01:34
he went with Kalen DeBoer.
01:36
So don't be shocked if he's also unemployed for about 30 minutes before Kalen DeBoer brings
01:42
him back to Alabama.
01:45
That's a great point, Joe, and that's probably something that will happen.
