Episode 280 – March Madness & A Seahawks Facelift…But Do They Look Better?

RUNDOWN

Mitch’s attention might waiver throughout the Seahawks conversation due to the breaking news: Tony Orlando is performing his last concert. Of course, Mitch and Hotshot discuss March Madness, and even before buzzer-beaters, there are four exciting stories, including the firing of one coach after leading them to the tournament. Mitch speculates that the Seahawks’ offseason moves might not be about immediate success. 

Guests Brady Henderson (ESPN) and Brian Nemhauser (Hawkblogger) dissect everything the Seahawks have (and have NOT) done in free agency over the last week. Mitch talks with Coach Donnie Jones about leading Stetson University Hatters to their first NCAA Tournament appearance. Mitch also talks with Coach Preston Spradlin of Morehead State, who went from dorm janitor to the coach of a team headed to the Big Dance. In the last interview, Coach Matt Langel of Colgate University talks about turning big finance jobs away from The Wharton School of Business to guide the Raiders to their 4th consecutive NCAA Tournament.
