Jedd Fisch- Traveling Used Car Salesman / Coach For Hire

[AZCatGirl]

Coach was on Jim Rome Hour 2 today.

Downloaded the podcast but haven't listened yet.

So I guess this was a big fat lie. Hope Washington doesn't get too attached because you clearly can't trust him to stay.

[UAEebs86]

He's a really good used car salesman.

[Merkin]

Totally expected. He has never stayed at a place longer than 3 years.

I would have gone too. UW has quite a storied football history. UA has none.

So I guess this was a big fat lie.

Larry is smirking up there.

[AZCatGirl]

I assume this will be like when Jay Johnson left in baseball and gutted the roster in the process?

I imagine Fifita and T-Mac are almost certainly following him.

If CTL doesn’t win a title this season, I’m not sure I can invest my heart at Arizona much longer.

I don't know, feels like the same thing to me.

This was the only thing about the Jedd Fisch hire that I didn't like. Knew he'd be gone sooner rather than later if he succeeded here. Time to fire up the coaching hotboard I guess.

We need another down-trending, over-the-hill retread…

… likely to stay longer!

I’m guessing he knows he should get out of town.

[Chicat]

Just want to throw out a sincere thank you to Jedd Fisch.

You came to Tucson and did exactly what we asked you to do. You turned around our shitty program and you did it in a hurry.

That being said, you’re also probably dooming us to an even quicker return to being shitty so I hope you fail miserably in Seattle and you desperately wish for the rest of your life that you could take back the decision to coach UW.

[scumdevils86]

Yup. Happy he turned us around but I'm positive the whole staff and any decent players will leave. We'll be back to a 1 or 2 win team within the year is my guess.

[Merkin]

Is he going to say goodbye to his players, unlike Smith?

Expecting a career similar to what Larry Smith had at SC for Fisch at UW. A few good years, followed by mediocre years and a firing. Smith remained a mediocre coach at Missouri after fired by SC.

[CalStateTempe]

Same merkin, exactly the same

UW will be middling in the BIG.

[AZCatGirl]

Would love to be a fly on the wall.

[Fishclamps]

Good, I hope no one goes with him and he has to fully restock that entire team and they eat shit next year.

[TheCat]

Expect no recruits to sign until it becomes clear the new coaching situation. Expect at a minimum TMAC to leave and probably our QB too. We are in the same situation only worse timing than when Jedd came. Washington is hiring a sub 500 coach with one good season. That is a bit of a risk. Enjoy the weather coach.

[Fishclamps]

I dont know why Washington fans would be happy about this hire. He pissed off the Arizona players, he might not be able to keep many Washington players who are looking to transfer or decomit, and you know he's gonna leave as soon as the NFL comes calling.

[Postmaster]

So who is on Robbins short list?

[Postmaster]

Greg Byrne, the gift that keeps on giving.

[pc in NM]

OTOH, if Jedd ultimately refuses, especially in person, he attains Lute Olson sainthood status (refused UK after in person visit), and rulz the transfer portal this spring!!!

(As a behavioral health professional, I want you to know that it is never wise to challenge a despondent psychotic’s delusions…. Just sayin’)

[TheCat]

Let's see. Robbins has no budget and will be replacing an entire staff. Let's see. What was that guys name Shay something? Art Biles would be good. LOL.

[Postmaster]

Maybe the thought of a road game in New Jersey was a lifelong dream?

[OriginalAZ]

This sucks.

[Postmaster]

Trying to take some heat off CTL?

[dovecanyoncat]

Even Merkin can't redeem me.

[Chicat]

From the first post in this thread…

Your resume reads like someone trying to get out of paying alimony and child support to 4 ex-wives.

… and it continues.

[Alieberman]

I love being a Wildcat fan!!!

He had us losing with De Laura. Fifita made Fisch look competent. Fifita was a gift and I don’t understand how that is not obvious.

[Postmaster]

Maybe because we expect fafita and TMac will probably follow him?

[Merkin]

Lute with a natty made less than Mike Stoops did at Arizona when he was hired, who was never a head coach and only a co-DC at Oklahoma.

That truly is sports sainthood.

[TheCat]

They are gone. Washington 1st priority is getting a QB since they just had their backup leave. Noah, TMAC and probably our LB Manu are gone as well as the tight end that came from Servite. Bad weekend for Wildcat sports.

[gouacats]

3 minute team meeting. Yikes.

[RawleArenas]

Here's the irony: if JDL never gets injured we maybe go 7-5 (likely 6-6) and go to a lesser bowl and Fafita takes the reins the following year. Fisch falls off everyone's radar and we have a dynamite team heading into the Big 12.

Be careful what you wish for.

I believe we are witnessing the end of college FB and BB. The fans of the less storied teams will check out because their best players will leave for bigger schools and the more storied organizations will follow suit, when their best players transfer to join super teams.

I’m pretty much there. Why, as a fan, be loyal to a team when the best players and coaches simply leave after one good season. With the AD in financial trouble we’re doomed as Arizona fans.

[arizonawildcats]

[arizonawildcats]

Scheer said 12-15 players are expected to follow Jedd to UW. He's not sure if Noah and TMac are gone.

[MrKyle]

Shitty that he lets them record and post that - adios JF, classless exit

[Alieberman]

Yeah… that video does not sit well with me at all

[arizonawildcats]

[Carcassdragger]

I'm disgusted and sick to my stomach.

[dovecanyoncat]

.... until Jedd do us part.

[scumdevils86]

Weirdly a fitting bookend. I thought maybe he'd only last 3 years but not because he was poached by a bigger school. Same ol same ol as an Arizona fan. Back to the gutter we go!

[AZCatGirl]

Going to laugh so hard when he does the exact same thing to Washington.
