By my count, if you include the interim stint at UCLA, Fisch is something like 10-22 when he doesn't have Fifita as his QB. And he had Rosen at UCLA, and JDL for 1.5 years at Arizona. It's not like these guys are QBs lacking talent, like the guys we had in year 1.

And often times, the QB helps make the coach. Bellichick's record without Brady? 83-104.

Hiring Fisch based on one successful year was a gamble. Winning an average of 8 games a year gets you a statue in Tucson. Will that be acceptable in Seattle? And can Fisch find another Fifita? All things TBD, but success is not guaranteed in my opinion. Had Fisch stayed, greater chance at prolonged success, but I understand he had millions of dollars, er I mean reasons to leave.

Yep the old QB argument. Has some merit but he still recruited better than any coach in AZ history and he will do good things at UDub.

The Dawgs are not that far removed from sucking balls so I think coming off a playoff run the heat won’t turn up on Fisch for three years at least. With the portal and his te riots he will get 9 wins by year three. Beating a heavy dose of B1G has beens and getting the occasional win over USC or Oregon.

"Without good recruiting, I am nothing"- Nick Saban to his new A.D. right after being hired at Alabama.

Fisch gets this and is already doing a great job getting his previously committed guys from the portal and going after others. On top of this, he's a great coach. Washington is going to remain a great program and maybe improve-until he abruptly leaves his players and program high and dry.

I sure hope Brennan gets that recruiting, recruiting, and recruiting are of primary importance for winning. So far, I'm.....underwhelmed.

Brennan may prefer a lower-key approach to recruiting than the social media blitz Fisch used. Presumably, potential starters Quali Conley and Tre Smith from SJSU are enrolled at Arizona, but I don't recall any formal announcements. Maybe they don't have that kind of thing organized yet, but Fisch did some of it himself. Per Scheer, we may have some stuff going on this week, but while high school recruits are great, we just got raided on defense. Maybe Brennan wasn't in a position to have success with the portal and never went big with it at San Jose, but he'd better learn to do it here. I agree that priorities 1, 2, and 3 (and maybe additional numbers) are recruiting.

Low key recruiting in the current era couldn't be a more wrong approach, so I hope Brennan isn't that type of recruiter. In the Social Media age "loud" recruiting and consistent positive display of program are prerequisites for recruiting success. If Brennan can't achieve that on at least a similar level as Fisch we might as well get use to a-lot of Armpit Bowl appearances in the future.

Yeah, we know. You’ve mentioned it a time or two … per hour.

UW hiring Fisch is a risk because the jury is still out on whether or not he can truly build a team and sustain it over time? Or, if Fifita lightning in a bottle, and something Fisch can't easily duplicate. Remember, even with Rosen and JDL at QB, Fisch is a sub .500 coach. And as the saying goes, the only thing harder than climbing to the top? Staying there.

As for Brennan, he's a Tomey disciple. Tomey was never about flash. Maybe Brennan can offer an alternatives to the Primes of the world to the right kids and make it work? Only time will tell on both fronts.

Just no pooch punts or QB draws on 3rd and long.

Heard his kids were in tears when they told them they were moving. Didn’t even blink when considering their feelings about yet another move. Bet those kids are loving the dark skies and the rain daily

His kids are basically Army brats at this point so you think they’d be used to it, but moving is incredibly difficult on children.

Yep, being an Air Force kid who moved every year from 1-10 years of age I understand you have to suck it up, but that’s the service. At some point you have to think of the family and not the next rung on the ladder.

Of course a lot of the parenting would fall on Amber, his wife. But after meeting her once I can tell you she is more then all right with hubby grabbing for that next rung

I liked Fisch as our coach, and am still very bummed that he left. The players liked him, and played for him. I just wonder what our record would have been had JDL not gotten injured. His injury is the only reason Fifita saw the field, and we all know how that worked out.

I said when he was hired by Washington it was a gamble on their part to hire a coach with a losing record and one great season. He has a really good offensive approach but the reason we improved our win total had as much or more to do with our defensive progress. Time will tell but I appreciate this accomplishments while at Arizona while also recognizing his dishonesty in what motivated him.

Had fun with copilot today

He is gone. Who cares anymore?

Brennan needs our support

This is the arch rivals board.

In any event, most of us, if not all, want him to fail, and fail badly.

ain't that the truth

Burn in hell Jedd after the skullfucking the B1G will be giving you.

Must Read.

WOW......looks like Jedd is in new waters now.

https://www.yahoo.com/sports/reports-wa ... 51622.html

I heard Mike and Brad talk about Jedd called a player while he was in a meeting with the UofA coaches. The player answered and put Jedd on speaker phone. The coaches spoke. Does anyone know what player that was and who the coaches were?

Yes I will post this in two different forums because fuck Jedd Fisch.

wtf did I just watch

It's so obvious he's a complete slimeball.

We were all blinded....

But he was our slimeball!

Wish nothing but losses for UDub. Same as I did with Larry Smith at SC.

UDub only getting a half share from the Big 10, and no Phil Knight to make up the difference.

Suck it dawgs! Going to be painful for quite some time.

Who the fuck came up with the creepy borderline animal abuse cut aways? That’s what gets produced in Seattle these days?

I hope they get stomped in the Big 10.

It’s made by a Duck fan if I had to guess.

Does anybody else think that Jedd looks like Deputy Pell from Mississippi Burning?

Dude makes 7.5 million a year.

Some Washington fans feel Jedd could jump to Florida after this year.

Can't imagine Fisch leaving after one year. If this were year two, maybe.

Well, at least Washington sucks

That's a shame

To think, all he had to do was stay one more year and if we end up in the cfp he could have punched his ticket to ANY school pretty much

Fuck that guy

Wishes do come true! Couldn't happen more to someone I really want to lose. Man I hate that guy.

Seattle is a great city, but Fisch has to be thinking, stay one more year in Tucson, and he would have had a legit playoff contender. And then when Florida lets Napier go, Fisch could have gone home for more money and have his dream job. Instead, Fisch is as far away from Gainesville as possible, and his team will be fighting to make a bowl. And Florida? Does Fisch leave after only one year at UW?

I can't imagine they'll want Fisch if his performance against WSU is any indication of how this season will go.

Funny as shit, but then again, Arizona not doing itself any favors.

Washington fans are disgusting, https://hardcorehusky.com/discussion/11 ... s-jew-sark

How much does Jedd want to steal Loop right now.
