Dave 'Softy' Mahler and Dick Fain

The News Tribune's Gregg Bell was out at the VMAC earlier this afternoon. He's got the latest on injuries, plus a story of Russell Wilson and game preparation, and more. On Fun with Audio, some big anniversaries are celebrated this week, plus Russell Wilson, KJ Wright, and Marshawn Lynch mic'd up last week, Gardner Minshew going on a road trip, Mike Leach in Starkville, and a Canadian Family Feud clip. Textimonials react to the hiring of John Donovan is the new offensive coordinator at Washington.

It could happen! The Seahawks could possibly get home field advantage in the NFC Championship, but first they must beat Green Bay, and Minnesota must beat the Niners. With a look at the Vikings matchup tomorrow, and a potential showdown with the Seahawks next week, it's Paul Allen. Joining us with the San Francisco perspective is Niner Nate. All the information you need going into Sunday's game on Stats are for Losers. Dixon makes his prediction for the Hawks and Packers game on Sunday. Slickhawk joins the show as he gets ready for 12th Man Mania.

It's a bad day for Husky fans as Washington State head football coach Mike Leach leaves Pullman for Starkville, taking the Mississippi State coaching job. Despite his success with the Cougars, he struggled mightily against his rivals, the Washington Huskies. No single Cougar coach has had such a long stretch of losses in the Apple Cup. Coaching in Pullman isn't exactly considered a premiere coaching position, so it will be interesting ot see what kind of talent they're able to pull over there. We jump back to talking Hawks for a bit, hearing from Quandre Diggs and Shaquill Griffin on Dick and Dave in the Locker Room. As previously mentioned, Mike Leach is leaving, so we decided to celebrate his time in the Northwest with a montage of the best sound bytes from him over the years.

Tune in every Thursday at 4pm to hear Mike Holmgren with Softy and Dick Fain on all things NFL and Seahawks. He is brought to you by Tacoma Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram, and by Redbox. For movies and games, head to Redbox, the smarter way to watch and play.

What's the deal with Mike Leach? It's a question that's been asked many times over the years, but today we ask because of his decision to leave Pullman for the Mississippi State job. A man that knows him well, Bruce Feldman of Fox Sports and The Athletic fills us in on the decision. Marshawn Lynch's agent Doug Hendrickson tells us how Beast Mode's return to Seattle came about, and if we'll see him next season. Quade Green is academically ineligible for the rest of the quarter. First Mike Leach leaves, and now this? Not the best day for Dawg fans. Our Seahawks reporter Curtis Crabtree updates us on the latest Seahawks news, injuries, and more.

It feels like we have this conversation every year but, Mike Leach is reportedly looking at another SEC job. This time, it's Mississippi State that's getting the interest. Do Cougar fans ever get tired of having a coach that seems to want to bolt for the door after every season? We're out at the VMAC this afternoon, and it could be our last show here for the year. Of course, if the Hawks win, we'll be right back here next week. So, what are the chances that the Hawks win and we get another opportunity next week? As we gear up for Green Bay, we check in with several players to get their thoughts on the upcoming game; it's Luke Willson and Ugo Amadi on Dick and Dave in the Locker Room. Ahead of the divisional round against Green Bay, the Space Needle will fly the 12 flag, and our own Cliff Avril will be there to raise it on Friday morning. Some may wonder why we don't just eave a flag up there all year long, but then we wouldn't have cool moments like this. It's been awesome to see traditions develop around this team over the years.

One of the most memorable moments in Seattle sports history took place nine years ago today, and to remember it, we've found four play-by-play calls of Marshawn Lynch's Beast Quake that you've probably never heard before. t's our first chance to hear from Petros Papadakis in a few weeks. So it loos like Kellen Moore is going to stay in Dallas. Where does that leave the Dawgs in their offensive coordinator search? Softy also asks Petros about Ed Orgeron's appearance on his show yesterday, mostly just so we can hear his impression. Textimonials react to the show at 49451.

So who is the right fit for the Washington offensive coordinator job? We ask Rick Neuheisel about that, plus thoughts on the Mississippi State job, and a preview of the BCS Championship. Kevin Harlan talks all things football, including Seattle's game against Green Bay on Sunday. Dick Fain has a chance to sit down with the Griffin Brothers, Shaquill and Shaquem today at the VMAC.

We start off the show by asking which Seahawk (aside from Russell Wilson) you want to see have an all world game against Green Bay on Sunday? We've gotten a lot of votes for D. K Metcalf, Marshawn Lynch, but not many for Jadeveon Clowney. That's a little surprising because he seems like the obvious choice. If he can tear through guys like he did in that Monday night game in San Francisco, our chances of stopping their offense improve greatly. We asked a couple of weeks ago if this Seahawks season was already a success. Well now we've won a playoff game, so how many would see the 2019 season as a success if we didn't make it any further? It's not as though the talent level is what it was in 2013-2014, and the injuries have really stacked up, but there have been some bright spots on the offense in particular. So can we get the win over Green Bay? Mike Garafolo is reporting that Kellen Moore may be staying in Dallas. With his connections here in Washington, and the name recognition he's gained from his time with Dallas, he seemed like he'd be a logical pick. Maybe there's still some convincing that can be done to get him to take the UW offensive coordinator job.

While watching Isaiah Stewart play over the weekend, Dick and his son talked about the potential for retiring his number. He will undoubtedly have the best single season of any Husky basketball player ever, but he also almost certainly will not be here a year from now. So should a one-and-done have his number retired? Kellen Moore is reportedly thinking about staying with the Cowboys as their offensive coordinator, so where does that leave Washington in their OC search? We go to the expert on all things Pac-12, the San Jose Mercury News' Jon Wilner gives us the latest, plus news and reaction on everything happening throughout the conference. Textimonials come in at 49451 reacting to the first two hours of the show.
