Mitch opens Episode 362 with Danny O’Neil subbing in for an injured Hotshot Scott, then immediately pivots into Seahawks stress-testing: “a win is a win” vs. real offensive problems. Mitch and Danny joke about a bizarre LA Bowl unsportsmanlike call, then pivot to the Michigan vacancy and what it could mean for Jed Fisch (with Mitch arguing DeBoer’s statement reads like a true “not leaving” while Fisch’s sounds like a dodge). The segment then becomes a Seahawks therapy session: Mitch hates how they “punted the first half away,” can’t believe they needed six field goals to beat a limited Colts team, and points to first-down passing success as proof the staff has to help Sam Darnold with smarter sequencing.
Mitch, Brady Henderson, and Jacson Bevens agree the Seahawks’ 18–16 win over the Colts was one of the least satisfying victories imaginable, despite holding Indianapolis to just 215 total yards and improving to 11–3 . The conversation centers on chronic first-half offensive failures, Sam Darnold’s uneven play being compounded by penalties and play-calling, and a defense that continues to carry the team.
Neuheisel explains how his Washington State candidacy stalled after an initial Zoom interview with a search committee, never reaching the school president despite strong booster support, and reflects candidly on the likelihood he won’t get another head-coaching opportunity. The conversation pivots to the chaos surrounding Michigan’s vacancy, with Neuheisel analyzing why Jed Fisch’s Harbaugh ties could complicate his candidacy and why DeBoer, Dillingham, or even NFL names may factor in.
A visit from the KJArntz with Jason Puckett, who gleefully roasts him for failing to ask Rick Neuheisel about the Washington State job and then dives headfirst into college football chaos, speculating on ripple effects from Michigan’s vacancy and Lane Kiffin’s unique ability to torch multiple fanbases at once. The conversation veers into darkly comic sports misfortune, including Indiana losing a star defender during postgame celebrations, before shifting to hoops, where Puck raves about witnessing generational high school and college basketball talent up close.
