I've 28 00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:15.599 never had that problem really. I really like most of 29 00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:17.439 the parents. And well, a lot of it is I'm 30 00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:20.200 just proactive and I talk to people. 31 00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:21.879 And I enjoy what I do, and they know I 32 00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:22.840 enjoy what I do. 33 00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:25.239 And I think most people have come to learn that 34 00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:27.920 I know my stuff pretty decently, and so I just 35 00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:29.920 don't get a lot of that, a lot of the 36 00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:32.840 drunk yeah, and so that's never really bothered me. But 37 00:01:32.879 --> 00:01:35.840 it's the it's it's kind of the state of schools 38 00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:39.200 now and the adherence the rules and stuff. I don't 39 00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:41.159 have that on the field, but I have to deal 40 00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:44.200 with it all day long with teachers that that you know, 41 00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:48.120 don't understand what what a good athletic program or a 42 00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:51.439 good music program or good drama program things like that, 43 00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:54.599 what they can teach kids outside of the classroom area 44 00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:57.239 about their life and how to conduct themselves. 45 00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:00.239 And yeah, yeah, we got question but that. 46 00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:02.719 But but but drama and band and that, they all 47 00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:04.959 those things do the same thing if you've got a 48 00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:08.599 good coach behind it. And I missed that part of it. 49 00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:09.120 Let's say. 50 00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:11.199 You know, I do a lot of that with my 51 00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:13.599 charity work now of course, and still work with kids 52 00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:16.240 and and just you know, I went this summer to 53 00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:20.479 Europe and I did eight clinics and we visited eleven countries, 54 00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:23.280 a lot of my old friends from coaching over there. 55 00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:26.360 You uh, when we came in, you know, I joked 56 00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:28.919 with you because I say, do you look good for 57 00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:30.240 your age? You don't have to say your age on 58 00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:32.560 the air if you don't want. But I'm sure the 59 00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:33.800 kids kept you younger. 60 00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:36.960 I don't think there's any question about that at all. 61 00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:40.439 They certainly keep you lively, they keep you informed. And 62 00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:43.039 I'm the kind of teacher coach that when you ask 63 00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:45.520 a question, I want to give you an answer that's 64 00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:47.280 the real answer. I want to give you the full 65 00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:49.639 picture and the full story. So I did a lot 66 00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:52.400 of research and spend a lot of time because because 67 00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:55.520 I think answer asking questions is a good thing. I 68 00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:58.439 think that's what students are at school for, and I 69 00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:00.879 think as a good teacher coach, that's part. 70 00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:02.360 Of your responsibility. Back and forth. 71 00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:05.639 Yeah, that's great, it's a lot of fun. You were 72 00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:08.280 in the business for Hull fifty years, fifty years, and 73 00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:11.319 I've said this all along, and then maybe you're going 74 00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:13.800 to say, Steve, you're wrong that the worst thing that 75 00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:18.599 happen to kids athletically are the parents, and now specifically 76 00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:21.960 because they seem the kids nowadays more so than in 77 00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:23.400 the past, they're the meal ticket. 78 00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:27.800 Here's the thing as a coach and a teacher, particularly 79 00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:29.960 if you if you, if you wear both hats. 80 00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:32.120 I see the kids of the morning when they get 81 00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:32.599 to school. 82 00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:35.599 I see the kids all day long, hanging out with 83 00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:38.560 the very kids you told them specifically not to be with. 84 00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:41.319 I see the kids. I see the kids at lunch. 85 00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:45.639 I see the kids after school before practice again, hanging 86 00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:48.199 out with the people that you probably wish they wouldn't 87 00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:48.639 hang out with. 88 00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:50.800 I see the kids for two two and. 89 00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:52.719 A half to three and a half hours of practice 90 00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:53.240 every day. 91 00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:54.360 I see him at night. 92 00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:57.759 I see him perform under the hardest stress you could 93 00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:01.919 ever imagine. If if a parent thinks that we don't 94 00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:05.159 know their children, they ought to walk in our shoes 95 00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:08.919 for a little bit. When you count up waking hours, 96 00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:11.919 I'm with that kid, yeah, ten times. 97 00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:14.719 More than a parent is. You're right, and so. 98 00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:16.439 I like talking to the kids, and I like talking 99 00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:18.879 to the parents, particularly the ones who are honest with 100 00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:20.920 me about what their child is like. 101 00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:23.120 So let me ask you, because you're you're right, you 102 00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:24.639 do spend a lot of time, you know, from eight 103 00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:26.879 in the morning, if not earlier, till the end of 104 00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:29.160 the day, because they're with you at least for a 105 00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:31.800 few months, right, if not more months. Have you ever 106 00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:35.319 had a parent or two I'm sure you have, Jeff, 107 00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:37.720 what's going on? What's going on with our kid? You know, 108 00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:38.839 I'm trying to figure this out. 109 00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:42.360 Oh yes, oh yes, that's all. I get that all 110 00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:44.879 the time. I was educated here. I came to Tucson 111 00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:47.920 in nineteen eighty four to come to graduate school. I 112 00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:50.240 was fortunate enough to get a scholarship at that time 113 00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:52.879 with one of the best psychology departments in the world, 114 00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:55.000 not the nation, but in the world, and I had 115 00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:58.160 a great faculty advisor, and I was I got. I 116 00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:03.000 received a great education psychology, and that served me so 117 00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:07.399 well to understand the dynamics of a kid and the 118 00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:10.720 world around them, which includes the parents, the home, the siblings, 119 00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:13.360 their friends, and of course what happens to them during 120 00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:14.959 the school day and with sports. 121 00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:17.920 So I get this question every now and again. And 122 00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:22.040 I've been doing this a while as well, and I've 123 00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:24.800 covered some great guys, great guys here in town for 124 00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:27.040 a number of years. Great and a couple, you know, 125 00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:30.720 not some great guys. But people ask me what makes 126 00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:32.800 the difference between a good kid and a bad kid? 127 00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:33.759 You know who you like? 128 00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:35.519 Talking to another guy you know is kind of so 129 00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:37.639 early and kind of a pain in the The one 130 00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:39.560 thing I say is they've got good parents. 131 00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:43.199 The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. 132 00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:46.560 But let me tell you something, and hopefully a lot 133 00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:49.920 of parents and coaches out there will heal this. I 134 00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:52.720 never assume when a kid does something wrong, whether it's 135 00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:56.199 a play on the field or just doesn't act properly, 136 00:05:56.399 --> 00:05:59.560 do something like that, my first assumption is is maybe 137 00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:02.120 they were ever taught this. It's one thing to speak 138 00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:06.319 you're at a person, and I hear me speak at 139 00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:08.800 a person, not with a person. It's one thing to 140 00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:12.519 speed at a person. And that doesn't mean it gets absorbed. 141 00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:15.240 That doesn't mean they understand it, that doesn't they learn it. 142 00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:17.240 I mean, if you take what I teach a kid 143 00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:20.040 like a quarterback, and so much of it is involves 144 00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:23.519 muscle memory and if you allow them to do it incorrectly, 145 00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:26.920 over time, it's almost impossible to change it. So if 146 00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:29.639 they've had a bad coach coming up teaching them, yeow, 147 00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:31.519 I think you should do it this way, and it's 148 00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:34.839 in fact the incorrect way. That's very challenging for me 149 00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:38.439 as a coach. So I've always assumed that that kid 150 00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:41.600 wants to do well. You know, you say bad kid, 151 00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:44.319 and yes, there are some, that's for sure, But most 152 00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:46.759 kids are really good kids, even if they do bad, 153 00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:49.800 and it's just a matter of teaching them the right thing, 154 00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:52.920 talking to them make them feel comfortable in a situation. 155 00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:57.079 And that that's the thing with a sport like football 156 00:06:57.120 --> 00:06:59.920 in particular, and of course any sport. I just spoke 157 00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:02.600 two weeks ago the University of New Mexico baseball team. 158 00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:04.839 The head coach there is one of my former quarterbacks. 159 00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:09.439 Tossed around yeah from me, and and it's the same way. 160 00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:12.720 It's just don't assume these kids know what to do. 161 00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:16.240 And let's we're teachers. We're coaches, but we're also teachers. 162 00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:19.360 We're teaching a sport, we're teaching manners, we're teaching behavior 163 00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:21.600 on the field, We're teaching them win over the fans. 164 00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:23.959 We're teaching them win over the referees. We're teaching them 165 00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:26.560 win over your teammates. You know what they say about coaches, 166 00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:29.959 You have to win the locker room. These are real question. Yeah, 167 00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:33.680 these are realistic things. And don't assume that these kids 168 00:07:33.720 --> 00:07:37.040 automatically know what to do. And so that teaching process 169 00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:39.639 and frankly, I find it to be a lot of fun. 170 00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:42.199 Call me, we'red guy. I just I just enjoy it 171 00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:43.199 and I miss it greatly. 172 00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:45.800 Thanks for everybody for listening. You reached the preaching point 173 00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:48.120 of the eye on the ball segment. But no, no, 174 00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:50.759 I really like this. Let me tell you. Let me 175 00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:54.759 interrupt us. We're gonna have PJ. Brown from the Daily Star. 176 00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:57.360 She covers the women's basketball team at Dea Barnes and 177 00:07:57.399 --> 00:08:00.399 all that that's going to start pretty soon was the 178 00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:02.399 big twelve media days. So we're going to talk to 179 00:08:02.439 --> 00:08:04.560 her about what's going on with the program. And then 180 00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:06.439 the second half, we're going to talk to somebody you 181 00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:09.120 know very well, have your morales from All Sports Tucson, 182 00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:11.360 who's written a number of stories.

Uh you've been out a little bit, 185 00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:20.439 but you're still coaching just maybe a year, right, because 186 00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:22.240 you're at Rio Rico last correct. 187 00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:26.279 Yeah, it was last December that I decided that pretty 188 00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:28.360 much I'd done everything I could do down there. 189 00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:28.879 Uh. 190 00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:34.720 My daughter, unfortunately, uh, her second her husband passed away unconnectedly, 191 00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:37.639 and I had to deal with the trauma of all that, 192 00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:40.279 sure and in some cases PTSD for that. 193 00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:42.519 The kids and and they're back in Tucson. 194 00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:45.600 So I really needed that that this time beating Tucson 195 00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:48.039 to be there and even though it's not that far away. 196 00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:48.759 Uh. 197 00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:51.519 The superintendent down there, David Verdugo, one of my he 198 00:08:51.679 --> 00:08:54.240 played for me and one of my favorite football players, 199 00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:57.840 And it was so much fun to learn that culture 200 00:08:57.879 --> 00:09:00.759 and be part of it and to and assimilate with 201 00:09:00.840 --> 00:09:03.559 those kids. I can't I can't tell you how much 202 00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:07.200 I learned from those families down there about what the 203 00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:09.879 border and what life is really like and not what 204 00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:12.720 you see on TV. For sure, And that's almost a 205 00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:15.039 joke now when I when I see the news about 206 00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:18.159 stuff like that. Anyway, just with a great experience, but 207 00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:20.440 I really needed to be back here and now there's 208 00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:22.879 kind of this whole and I'm not quite sure yet 209 00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:25.279 how to fill it. I'm still real healthy, I'm still 210 00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:26.759 really active. I'm in good shape. 211 00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:28.639 You know what. There's there's more on the. 212 00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:31.480 Horizon, and uh, there's more games to win and more 213 00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:32.240 hills to conquer. 214 00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:33.559 So that's our guest. 215 00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:35.639 What I wanted to go with that question is you've 216 00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:39.879 been around a long time, a long time. I'm wondering 217 00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:43.720 back in the day, back in the day, compared to today, 218 00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:48.120 do kids still still want to be coached? 219 00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:52.919 Kids are kids? Haven't changed everything else? Really, everything else 220 00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:56.039 has changed. Kids are still kids. And the younger you 221 00:09:56.039 --> 00:09:58.000 get them, the more you begin to see that. I 222 00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:00.879 have some eight nine year old quarterbacks will knock your 223 00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:04.039 socks off. I could show you pictures. Unfortunately on the 224 00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:06.399 radio doesn't do much. I could show you some pictures 225 00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:09.399 of some of my kids and watch them throwing, and 226 00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:12.200 people are going to say, wow, kids can learn that 227 00:10:12.360 --> 00:10:15.519 at that age. Yeah, we're the right with the right coaching, 228 00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:18.679 with the right setup, with the right motivation. Sometimes we'll 229 00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:21.600 bring popsicles out on the field. Sometimes we bring them 230 00:10:21.639 --> 00:10:24.000 little nickknacks and toys that I was given, you know, 231 00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:25.600 sports oriented. 232 00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:26.480 Things and motivational. 233 00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:29.480 Of course, it's just you know, in the end, it's 234 00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:32.840 a sport. And again, whether you do drama, music or 235 00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:36.080 stuff like that, it's still an activity that's supposed to 236 00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:38.879 be fun and educational, and you just have to approach 237 00:10:38.919 --> 00:10:39.399 it that way. 238 00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:41.320 When I go on the field, I want to have fun. 239 00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:43.159 If I'm with eight nine year olds, it's a different 240 00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:45.840 kind of fun with them with when I was coaching college. 241 00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:49.039 In your years, you've had about you said fifty in 242 00:10:49.080 --> 00:10:54.320 that time, you probably had h one hundred and twenty quarterbacks. 243 00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:56.559 I'm assuming two a year. Blah blah blah. 244 00:10:56.600 --> 00:10:57.279 So let me go with this. 245 00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:01.759 In your as a coach, would you have a smart, 246 00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:06.159 cerebral quarterback who has obviously talented be the quarterback or 247 00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:10.159 a very talented quarterback who doesn't have that same acumen. 248 00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:15.519 The answer is yes. Now, I know you, I know 249 00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:17.399 you were. You think that's a cop out, But let 250 00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:20.200 me tell you this. I was with the Stanford recruiters 251 00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:22.480 one time. Because I've had a bunch of kids who 252 00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:25.399 have gone there very fortunate to be around that kind 253 00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:27.080 of intelligence. 254 00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:29.039 And a young a young man or a young woman. 255 00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:32.840 And but I've had those kind of athletes and that 256 00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:35.399 are on that level, like a Banny red. 257 00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:37.759 Hair who you have a tennis players might have. 258 00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:40.279 I coached girls tennis back then, and she's one of 259 00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:43.080 the best athletes in terms of all the different family. 260 00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:47.120 Just a great family, you know, just a hustle. 261 00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:49.879 Everything you could think of, and of course people want 262 00:11:49.919 --> 00:11:53.039 to think of most recently red Rod and stuff. But 263 00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:57.159 I had I talked to a Stanford recruiter about a 264 00:11:57.240 --> 00:11:59.279 kid I had named Corey Hill, who I was just 265 00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:02.000 with in Portland in Oregon this past weekend of Cory's 266 00:12:02.039 --> 00:12:05.679 doing unbelievable, one of the head guys at Oakley Sunglasses 267 00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:08.480 and went to end up going to Stanford playing for 268 00:12:08.519 --> 00:12:10.360 Bill Walsh. And I was talking to one of the 269 00:12:10.679 --> 00:12:13.960 recruiters and basically I asked them the same type of 270 00:12:14.039 --> 00:12:16.279 question you just asked me. Would you rather have a 271 00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:19.200 kid with all these tools or someone who shows up, 272 00:12:19.679 --> 00:12:21.639 you know, and just works their butt off and wants 273 00:12:21.639 --> 00:12:22.159 to be great? 274 00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:24.240 And the end they said yes. 275 00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:28.679 And I like that answer because I think all kids 276 00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:32.799 are capable of so much. It's just the right structure, 277 00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:36.440 the right teachers around them, the right system in place, 278 00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:42.399 and teaching them the attitude and the expectations and frankly 279 00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:47.200 holding them to some demands because, after all, the answer is, hey, 280 00:12:47.360 --> 00:12:49.720 do you want this? And they turned in and say yes, Coach, 281 00:12:49.759 --> 00:12:51.440 I want this, And I say, I'm going to read 282 00:12:51.480 --> 00:12:51.799 the guy. 283 00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:52.879 I'm going to be the. 284 00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:57.159 Very guy that holds you to your answer. Now let's 285 00:12:57.679 --> 00:13:00.879 go over this again. Do you want this? I say yes, coach, 286 00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:03.600 and I might even have have them signed a contract 287 00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:06.240 or a card sometime. And believe me, it gets pulled 288 00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:09.399 out a lot because kids are kids and things happen 289 00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:12.879 in their life. And listen, here's my here's my definition 290 00:13:12.919 --> 00:13:16.480 as a psychologist of a teenager. The inability to see 291 00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:17.799 past Saturday night? 292 00:13:17.960 --> 00:13:18.240 M H. 293 00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:19.879 Is that a good or bad thing? 294 00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:22.519 It's a thing. It's good or bad maker, it's up 295 00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:24.919 to you. But they can't see past Saturday. So you 296 00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:26.600 want to punish him for a month, you might as 297 00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:27.320 well punish him for. 298 00:13:27.279 --> 00:13:29.919 A hundred years.

You win. 310 00:13:55.559 --> 00:13:57.360 The kids have to win the game, and so you 311 00:13:57.440 --> 00:13:59.639 can't ever forget that.

I 319 00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:18.919 talked about the thirty yards of separation on the football field. 320 00:14:19.159 --> 00:14:21.759 That's the difference between the coach on the sidelines and 321 00:14:21.799 --> 00:14:23.240 what goes on during the game. 322 00:14:23.519 --> 00:14:25.720 I'm not in the huddle.
