Head Coach Jedd Fisch Postgame Press Conference: Ohio State
- Thread starter DerekJohnson
- Start date
Would you say he's done 7 things right for 6 things he's done wrong?
Partially with you. Taking a step back Fisch was hardly an uninspired hire. Took a team from the bottom to top in 2 seasons and acquired talent. Theoretically the trajectory of great is still on the table even though he butchered a once in a decade opportunity to beat the #1 at home.
Unless he beats the #1 at home in November

Winning the Alamo Bowl is taking a team to the top?
Don't get me wrong, what he did was impressive. But let's not fall to revisionist history
I actually thought the first half sucked because the writing was on the wall after they couldn't punch it in from the 2 yard line. And then the full retard fake field goal was the nail in the coffin.

2021 team…I dunno. I think the QB was a pretty big question mark and DeBoer fixed that problem. No DeBoer and there is no BPE and UW wins 5-6 games in 2022.

For half the teams in the nation including Arizona being the #11 ranked team and beating a #12 Oklahoma is absolutely the top. He won and he won fast with 5 ranked wins and 2 of his 3 losses to top 10 teams.
Push that standard up to UWs level and I'm not writing him off as a killer yet that's all
Playing for the natty is the top
But we will agree to disagree
Buck D lives for first and goal. They're incredibly proficient at stopping TDs. Nobody scores consistently inside the 10 against buck.

You're such a stubborn idiot Race
DeBoer was NEVER staying once Alabama was on the table … NEVER STAYING
You can blame the AD all that you want for not making him an offer that he couldn't refuse but there was a really good offer on the table (over $10M/yr) that DeBoer refused to sign (wonder why) well before Saban retired and Alabama was on the table. You can play the woulda coulda game but it's not reality.
Fisch may be the guy or he may not be the guy … time will prove that. Losing to #1 early in Year 2 doesn't definitively say he is or isn't the guy.
You can say "nobody wants to sit back and wait to see if he's the guy or not" and that's great but what's the reality?
The reality is that Washington doesn't generate revenues and donations at the levels of the bluest of blue bloods. We're not buying a top end roster every year to do the shortcuts that you want done. For UW that's not a sustainable approach. IF you (and others) want to buy that top end roster each year then start ponying up significantly more dollars to do so … but you (and others) won't because it's easier to sit back, bitch, and moan.
A far more % of coaches are not the guy instead of being the guy. Go through the history of UW head coaches and give me the "win rate" of the head coach being "the guy" … it's a lower % than you think it is.
I'd be willing to bet that if I searched hard enough you were skewering DeBoer after the back to back losses to UCLA and Arizona State …
Your game is very transparent at this point … don't discuss facts in any detail, hide behind and anchor to BS opinions, and call people names. You like to view that as #winning … that shows how out of touch you are with anything.
I haven't even started to take any gloves off … Race has to come a lot better than he has for me to do more than jab with a single hand

It's easy to nit pick any coach and find faults and scream "he's not the guy"
I HATED the fake FG for a number of reasons. I didn't like the Blitz 0 that led to Ohio State's 1st TD. The option play against the Coug was curious.
I was talking with the ghost of DDY the other day and I told him I wasn't thrilled with Fisch not taking accountability for some of the bad play calls that have been made and defaulting to execution. I'm a big believer that as a leader you don't ask people to do things that you're not willing to do. I'm sure Fisch asks his players to be accountable and I'd like to see him do the same when it's required. I hope someone in the AD (or CP) pulls Fisch to the side and gives him that perspective.
Big picture though recruiting has rebounded and is trending back to CP levels which is what is needed for this program to compete at the higher levels. I do not feel like people really have a good grasp at how back recruiting was under Lake and DeBoer. I do like that we play hard and that by and large execution is at a solid level. Winning all of the home games last year with the roster we had was a really big win. Hiring Walters to replace Jr Hoodie was an upgrade and I think we've seen that play out this year (notably on the DL and run defense).
So yes, I do think that the program is moving in the right direction and in a sustainable one under Fisch. I can't say whether he's the guy to win a Big10 or having us compete for a Natty yet but I do think it's on the table.
As for this idea that we blew a chance to beat Ohio State … we showed that we could hold on our own on the same field with them. We needed A LOT to go right for us to win that game. We had a lot of things to go right. We made too many errors and didn't execute well enough … a lot of the execution issues you have to give credit to Ohio State for.

No question on Penix but let's also not forget that Penix coming in here was a giant question mark given his injury history. We unquestionably hit the jackpot with Penix.
Do people forget that Haener was the original goal for DeBoer and that the only reason he didn't come back to UW was due to off the field reasons (academics/timing if I remember right)?
So if we would have got Haener or the injury-version of Penix and go 7-5 or 8-4 in Year 1, and then Year 2 doesn't happen because guys leave early for the NFL, is Race and Co. still crowning DeBoer and using as further proof of UW AD ineptitude?
Don't get me wrong in saying that having an elite coach matters a lot … but even the best coaches need players

Agreed but the roughing call was complete shit and the sideline interference call was even more complete shit. Even the TV crew said you have to warn first. No warning, no consideration that it was early in the game, home team is jacked and trying to bring some energy.
I'm not a Fisch apologist but those penalties were garbage. Yeah, they happen and it didn't determine the outcome but at least those two penalties I don't put on Fisch.

Who in the hell do you think you are?
I have my beach read for next summer
Lot of words to say you're a doog
I was right when you melted down about Ty and Emmert too
You're either a UW stooge or you don't know shit about football
Let me know when this 4 years is up
UW also had the money to keep DeBoer
Like Tequilla said they didn't think he was worth it
UW likes to play poor for some reason

UW has money but doesn't have fuck you money
Compared to the P12 of the world, we were at the upper ends of the money
In the B10 we're going to have readjust ourselves to what is required to compete at the top end
I think most probably don't realize how many resources most B10 schools have … UW can obviously compete but we have to up our game to get there
