    They won’t be always at the top of the conference. He’s a very good coach. They will drop off at some point and it will be tough to get back.They won’t be the Indiana of old, but they won’t stay this new version soon. Just my prediction.

    Jedd just needed to go 2/4 in his harder games and Washington would be talked about as a college football cornerstone program that you can't kill, because 1 year later was 7-6 and didn't flip a coin to end the game, and then 10-2 this year.

    0/4. It is what it is.

    Will be interesting to see how Cignetti does without his super super seniors from JMU

    Takes like these are so hilariously cold. How many college coaches have transitioned to the NFL, ever? And when was the last time it happened? And the time before that? And what success had those guys had at this level?

    Fish won’t be an NFL head coach but maybe an OC. His offense would work fine in the NFL where everyone is basically the same talent level. His route concepts, tempo, lack of taking advantage of the college hashes and the incessant huddling up just don’t fly when there is a massive talent disparity like he has on his offensive line and WR. Pete Carrol could do it at USC, Saban at Bama because they had the best dudes in the country. He won’t score against teams with great defensive talent unless he can somehow recruit/develop the requisite talent to be at least near even or even with them. I think he’ll acquire enough talent to score on the Wisconsin and Iowa types, maybe even Oregon but probably not OSU, Georgia or LSU. He needs a college offense to mitigate that kind of talent gap but he’s just too stubborn.

    He’s already been a terrible OC in the NFL. He actually has a lot in common with Mora. He’s had very little success as a coordinator and assistant coach but is hyped up as being somewhat of a guru.

    Mora had shitty defenses in the NFL as a coordinator. Fisch was an OC of bottom tier offenses when he was with the Jaguars.

    Fisch started to get his offenses rolling at Arizona. I don’t think he’s clueless but his offensive coaching has not been close to good enough.

    Year 3 is the measure…whining about stuff before that is just whining. The recruiting class is good but there are a couple pieces they better get in the portal if they want to make year 3 a success…namely a DE, a CB, an OT, and a WR if there is an elite one available. And a punter that’s not Australian. Think/hope Jedd learned his lesson in year 1 about not getting Marcus Bryant…cost them 2 games. He spent $$$ in Year 2…hopefully that wasn’t a one-off


    And hopefully Jedd kills some brain cells and quits overthinking and getting too cute if he’s still calling plays. Most successful FB coaches aren’t Mensa members…probably a reason for that.

    waiting until year 3 is so pre-NIL.

    But makes a great excuse
