SEATTLE — This is a column about Mike Hopkins' future at Washington, but first, a reference to Pete Carroll.
A bit more than four years ago, the Seahawks coach was asked about an infamously bare-effort play on the part of kicker Sebastian Janikowski, who made no attempt to tackle the returner who had sprinted past him on the way to the end zone.
Said Carroll the next day: "I wish he would've tried anything. ... We'll take anything."
