Don’t bother getting to know to Jed

Unless you actually win a national championship 2-3 years of “winning” means fuckall now. No one will be happy if he wins 21 games in 2 years then bails after a conference championship game loss.
 
Dannen just paid this dude 8 million and he is 17-22 as a HC. Dannen may end in a mental institution after these last 10 days. The guy got abused.

He did make Arizona respectable for whatever it’s worth

Made Arizona Great Again?
 
Stuck in a hard place. Get a guy who can build and actually has a network. Plus some kids he might bring over.

He can scheme up an offense. His NFL pedigree is a good talking point for retaining current players on the roster.

He's a NOW coach who gives us a bridge and some solid ground heading into the B1G.

 
man yall will find anything to complain about, huh? Fisch was the best guy that was realistic for this program. If he bounces in a couple years, so be it. That means he did well.

You’ve been hanging out with Softy too much
 
Im trying to understand why he has a rep as a good recruiter. Had one good class, last two haven’t been impressive (ranked in the 50s). What am I missing?
 
Sunk cost fallacy - either he's what he's shown the last 2 years at Arizona, and someone tries to poach him a year or two from now. Or he's around for a while.
 
The best Arizona coach since Larry Smith

Some peeps may not know who that is. Duckduckgo is your amigo.

I miss Dick Tomey and Bruce Snyder.

All I know is there's a lot of context behind recruiting to Arizona after what Sumlin left. And that first class was some great proof of concept and combined with their success of this past season that makes people think he's solid. I dunno. Yeah you would think the 2024 class would be better. He was very in on lots of studs, but lost out in the end. Remember it's Arizona. Coach V, who coaches in Arizona as far as I'm aware, had some interesting thoughts in the Spaces starting at ~55:40. Hard to tell how much doog was involved but I like it.

You're spot on. The reason UA had a good class in whatever year is because UW, USC and UO all had head coaching vacancies. TMac was committed to Oregon (yeah he bounced well before Crystalballs did, don't fuck with my narrative).

It doesn't mean Fisch can't recruit, but it's some head in the sand shit to hang one's hat on that cycle.

And obviously recruiting to Washton is different than recruiting to Arizona.

Unless you're KDB.

Arizona, where they don’t give a shit about football. They haven’t won a conference title in 30 years. Historically, that’s the worst job in the Pac12

All this part is good
 
New AD couldn't pry Leopold from Kansas, so we got his #2 choice in Fish.
I'm ok with this...was probably the best HC UW could actually get in this cycle.
Leopold will get a better/bigger offer next year with his track record - Ohio State etc.
 
I listened to an interview with Fisch. He's a smart, driven guy. He's way smarter than DeBoer in an East Coast, Jewish, chain-smoker voice, had all of his teeth replaced, kind of way.

He's in deep with multiple NFL GOATS and will probably be there in 2-3 years if things go well at UW.

Everything I've read is that Fisch was #1 from the get go.
