This episode was recorded months ago prior to the very important and sensitive issues that are currently going on across America. I wanted to share my thoughts as I would've definitely spoken with Coach about #BLM and also the impacts of COVID.
In today's episode, I had the honor of speaking with NFL Coach Greg Olson. He also was a member of the CWU QB Fraternity and now is the Offensive Coordinator of the Oakland Raiders (Las Vegas Raiders). He has been an offensive coordinator for five different National Football League (NFL) teams, the Detroit Lions from 2004 to 2005, the St. Louis Rams from 2006 to 2007, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 2008 to 2011, the Oakland Raiders from 2013 to 2014, and the Jacksonville Jaguars from 2015 to 2016.
Coach credits Drew Brees for giving him his shot in the NFL as he coached Brees during his time at Purdue. He also shares the challenges of being present as a father given the demands of an NFL job.
Coach Olson is a 1981 graduate of Richland High School. At Richland, he lettered in football, baseball, and wrestling. In football, he earned all-conference honors at quarterback and linebacker.
He played two seasons at Spokane Falls, earning all-conference quarterback honors in 1982, prior to transferring to Central Washington University in Ellensburg, Washington. He earned a BA degree from CWU in 1986 and an MS in physical education from Washington State in 1990.
