If Fisch ever leaves UW, the reason may not be what you’d think

Thanks Taft!

Just go

If he gets hired for an NFL job that'd be a good problem to have, I suppose.
I also don't see that happening, at all.
-
Reason no. 10 will BLOW YOU AWAY!
-
This whole deal since the day he was hired that he probably sucks but if he doesn't he's leaving anyway has really ratcheted up the excitement around the program
-
The fact he's already signalling he wants an NFL job says it all. But 6-7 ain't going to get him there.
He's probably already getting a slight itch to move on, if past is prologue.
-
An AD that isn't a brain dead coog would move Fisch the fuck out now and get a real coach not a cos player
Hopefully our Fighting Illini President will crack some skulls but I doubt it.
-
So we're not going to fire him? That's my default for him leaving
-
Middling handful of years and leaves for an NFL OC job seems possible to me.
-
I detect as small amount of sarcasm in this post.
-
He’s kinda stuck. He’s in a top 20 job and he’d have to have a Boner type season, 14-1, 13-2 to get a top 10 or 5 job in college or a shot as an NFL OC or HC. His offense would have to be around 40ppg to get an NFL team to look his way as an OC if the team wasn’t winning massively. He’s never been anything higher than a QB coach at the NFL level. I don’t think he’s giving up 7 million to make 400K as a QB coach. The most likely scenarios are either he plateaus the program at an 7-10 win purgatory and stays forever or he has one too many 6-7 years and gets fired. I’m pretty sure he won’t hit the 12-14 type winning seasons and I’m pretty sure he’s not bad enough to get fired. Everyone ready for a little Iowa purgatory?!?!
-
I agree and if he has Sark/Bellotti levels of success here, him getting an NFL OC gig would be on the strength of his networking
-
If he publicly ratchets up the budget concerns talk, I would take that to mean he's eyeing the exit
-
My inspiration was Jeff Hafley, who last year took a DC job with the Packers after four middling seasons at Boston College. Was also a supposed great recruiter type with an NFL background. He was never a coordinator at the NFL level and must have used his networking skills to get one leaving BC.
I have a bad feeling Fisch could end up being not good enough to get hired away, but not bad enough to fire.
-
And now Bala's interviewing at Florida.
Besides going for 2 at the end of the Sun Bowl just so that he wouldn't have to coach an OT, the offseason talent acquisition and everything with the team has mostly been positive and fact that the players are happy/aren't leaving is a more important measurement than these position coaches that are desperately trying to move up so that they don't have to be on a plane for half the year.
7-10 wins for the duration seems most likely but in this format, and eventually a 14-16 team playoff format, you just need to get to the playoff to get the same program momentum you used to only get by having a 2016 type of season. Still LIPO.
-
It will be interesting to see if the excitement for simply getting a playoff spot maintains, especially as it expands even further. Especially if you're someone like Oregon or Tennessee who just got bombed in their first game.
-
The narrative around here is fucking tired.
-
Rooting for a 9-win regular season team in a "playoff" game will be so fucking pointless.
-
Apparently the Bala and even possibly the Sunseri thing is that it was expected that he wouldn't go outside for the DC hire.
Whatever. This guy had the #1 defense at fucking Illinois. Fuck off.
-
Leaving to help rebuild Gaza?
-
Seriously. The new DC should be getting his Illinois guysms to come here if they were that successful.
-
-
Fisch will leave in 3 years to become offensive coordinator at Oklahoma before spring boarding to be the Chargers OC
-
stay on topic you motherless whore!
-
It will depend on seeding. The truth is, we? can generally tell who we’re? going to beat and get beaten by with a decent hit rate.
