Atmosphere around the Football Program

A constant refrain from recruits is they like the energy the coaching staff has and the family environment is a positive. But more importantly, they express a belief that the coaches, from Fisch on down, believe they are building something special at Arizona. The recruits are feeling that, the current players are feeling the difference and the coaches are living it.
I like the direction Arizona Football is taking under Jedd Fisch.

I thought a huge compliment came from the tennis coach who said he has reinvigorated the whole athletic department. He said he is very present and always upbeat and approachable.
Of course he needs to win but if he can find some magic with this reclamation project, recruiting just might really take off. He sure seems confident

Fisch is saying and doing the right things, and bringing in legends has to help win the city. Players and recruits may not know who Cecil and Hunley are, but we do, and the players and recruits certainly know of Gronk.
Not really a fan of the Fisch hire, at least yet, but certainly glad we didn't get any more drunk, lazy retreads like RichRod and Sumlin.
So yes, the new direction is refreshing.

You gotta like the staff swinging for the fences.

I think an unofficial visit he pays for himself so there had to be some interest on his part. It was more than getting a free trip.
