From ESPN:
What should Washington prioritize in its coaching search?
For UW, it's simple: Ryan Grubb should be elevated from offensive coordinator to head coach immediately. If you are reading this and new UW athletic director Troy Dannen hasn't already hired Grubb to replace DeBoer, he's moving too slowly.
DeBoer deserves all the credit he's received for what he's accomplished in coaching, but Grubb has been with him nearly every step of the way (Sioux Falls, Eastern Michigan, Fresno State and UW). When Washington players talk about the offense and why it has been so successful, Grubb is the one they describe as the "mad genius" or with some other kind of similarly flattering name.
He was the playcaller, he was the one who worked most closely with QB Michael Penix Jr. and he should be options A, B and C to replace DeBoer. This isn't the same as Jimmy Lake inheriting the program from Chris Petersen. Grubb is ready. Building a staff will be a challenge because DeBoer and Grubb will inevitably want to lean on some of the same guys, but there will be a line of talented coaches who want to be in Seattle. -- Kyle Bonagura

Duck approved.
Grubb could be different. He could be great (like Deboer). His ceiling is extremely high. he also could shit the bed but I'd take the risk over a mediocre hire like Fisch. Look what Deboer did as an OC and HC, success everywhere. Who's to say Grubb isn't deboer 2.0?
Why is Fisch mediocre? He took a team that was worse than UW under Lake and made them a Top 10 team in a few years.
Fisch head coaching recores is 17-22. Well below mediocre. I was wrong.
