The Hardcore Husky Podcast: If Cignetti was a grand slam hire, Fisch was a fielder's choice*

It came up now.

You don’t want to have me as the lone guest. You just don’t.

-Demond will bounce back vs Illinois, much like Dante did against Rutgers.
-None of the Heisman leaders today were in the preseason top 5.
-Illinois does not look scary, lol. 63-10. UW will win unless Jedd makes zero adjustments from the UM game. Ok, fair poont.
-The silver lining: it's always darkest right before it gets pitch black.
-Bielema is better than Fisch. A helluva lot more likeable.
-The baseball metaphor back-and-forth was kinda gay, which should resonate with most listeners.
-The discussion about Joey's height and growth was exceptionally gay. Should have led with that.
-Joey might consider an energy drink or cocaine before podding

I was drinking coffee. I’ll spike it with the booger sugar next time

I laughed out loud.

I don’t think anyone was saying we should’ve hired Cignetti. More just pointing to him as an example that it is not impossible to take over essentially nothing and win big right away by actually coaching the players. It’s a dig at everyone who wants to have super low expectations to prop up the coach and program.

Exactly what @Bob_C said is my understanding of the Cignetti reference.
If one can do what he's done at Indiana, on the timeline he's done it on, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect something in the same ballpark at Washington.
I fully reject any concepts that Fisch needs 3-5 years or anything (not saying anyone specifically has said that).
One of the benefits of this new era is the ability to turn over a roster more quickly.
I mean, look at how fast Kalen did it with a few key pieces (obv Penix was a HELL of a piece, no debate there).
-
You had your Cignetti.
Imagine expecting another one.

Why should we not?
We're a top 25 program, all time by wins, in a sensational market with more than adequate resources and fan engagement, and in the upper half (I would argue) of one of the 2 best conferences… and with a recent track record of great success in two spurts over the last decade.
-
To be fair, Kalen took over a pretty loaded roster from CP's last couple of recruiting classes.
Regardless, it's one game at a time and it sucks that McCree and two TEs got injured against Michigan. Hopefully Willis can come back to give the offense a chance and the coaches incorporate Zach Henning again as the 6th OL / blocking TE. DeGraaf really has no business blocking DEs like on that horrible play against Michigan.
