Jedd Fisch's plan is clear, it just hasn't been executed yet

Whatever his current plan is, I'm all in favor of having it executed.

Summarily
-
- Awfully young
- Work in progress
Will be same year after year. Lather, rinse, repeat...
-
Had he stayed at Arizona, his team this year would not have been young. They would have won the B12. It will be similar at UW. He’s not Sark, he’s actually built a team from nothing once. I’m giving him rope. It’s up to him whether he hangs himself or not.
-
Arizona isn't good this year
-
He has concepts of a plan.
TITTT!
-
Hes from a middle class family
-
When I was a young buck, it used to be a coach needed 4 years to build a program. Then it was 3 years, then 2 years and now it's 7 games in.
-
He took over first loser
Talked big then walked small. Blew 2 games. No excuse for that
-
run the damn ball would help
-
do they sell rope at your store?
-
Not even red.
-
Feels like a point in his favor that they're so much worse without him but I can see the other POV as well.
Sadly, TSIO but I'm going to LIFPO on the Fisch era. Plenty to be concerned about, no doubt. -
Fifita went from a Heisman contender under Fisch to lost with their SJSU coach

fisch took an absolute aids riddled dumpster fire in arizona and made it respectable. theyve gone from amazing from last year back down to earth. im sure he thought he had fifita/mcmillan in the bag before their cartel guy made them an offer they couldnt refuse, jokes on them.
he inherited a dumpster fire with staff/player turnover, no aids though, natty appearance helps there.
he's not sark, he can build a program and i do think he inherited a legit mess. he really, really needs to fix/figure out the OL. if he doesnt have the same trajectory that he did at zona by year three i say he got to go.

If he was 4-3 in his first year but took 100% responsibility for everything that was happening then I would have a different impression of him.
-
So he doesn't get your 1st impression rose which is fine.
Devil's advocate: firing a coach 7 games in (unless they've hit a player or lost to Montana) is fraught with immense risk. More evidence is required before you fire or extend a guy.
-
This is my biggest frustration as well
-
Firing him now is absolutely not an option.
It's okay to be skeptical though. -
We should always be skeptical of a coach until they are a proven winner.
There were a lot of points in 2022 and 23 where I was skeptical of DeBoer.
-
Points could be made that DeBoer wasn’t a great game day coach either. He was a master of his teams coming out with their hair on fire in BIG GAMES. 2023 Oregon 1, Oregon 2 and Texas all had the potential for blowouts but in all three games UW was reeled back in. Georgia this year, reeled back in. He was also the master of letting teams that have zero right being on the field with his teams hang around. In 2022 (ASU) and this year (Vandy) he allowed them to beat his superior team. DeBoer got away with it because he was so Midwest charming and accountable with the media. Fish is east coast greasy and it’s just more unsavory. As has been said, Fish has built a winning team from scratch, DeBoer has never built a team. He bolts after 3 years more often than not. I’m in camp LIPTFO.

DeBoer built a team here
-
Not really. He hit on the most moral and just and GOAT transfer portal QB of all time and plugged a few other holes. He wasn't here long enough to build something.
-
DeBoer built a culture and an attitude. 90% of the team was here.
-
Remember, DeBoer wanted Heaner first. When that academically fell through he circled back on Penix.
-
4 and 8 to 14 and 0
Come on man. No really. I'm not kidding
If it's so easy then why hasn't Fisch done it
Typical UW attitude.
-
What DeBoer did here was phenomenal. The best start than any Husky HC has ever had.
Rick had a great start as well with Lambo's guys, but couldn't sustain it.
No one is saying it's easy to achieve what DeBoer did, but he didn't "build" it. He took what was here, hit on a couple portal guys and was an great X's and O's guy.
-
DeBoer is a great coach but it can also be true that he stepped into a great situation. The 2019 and 2020 recruiting classes were very good and had were RS-JRs and RS-Sophs who had taken their lumps in 2021 so they already had loads of experience. He brought in a QB he had had success with before and voila, he goes on a monster two year run. Sure he may have gotten the lucky bounce here and there but you don't go 25-3 without being a darn good coach.
