Washington coach Jedd Fisch stays mum about contract situation
Comments
-
Fisch isn’t taking a college coaching job again, if he can help it. He is auditioning for an NFL gig. Demond is his meal ticket, next year is his prove-it season. The only way he leaves early this season is if we get in playoffs and the right deal is there
-
He was never even close to a top 5 coach at Washington. In fact for 2 seasons he perpetuated the narrative that Boise coaches can't win at the next level.
Would Urban ever get his ass kicked with Vita Vea and Greg Gaines?
This isn't the first time you've propped up Petersen and Browning to ridiculous levels. Have at it, I guess, but it's a total quook narrative and makes them feel better about Washington.
-
I certainly agree with your second sentence
-
Not necessarily arguing with you and your point is valid, but don’t forget Urban had “heart problems” at Florida when the team was down
-
wish he would just leave and we could hire Franklin
Franklin best those Urban Myer teams once and the cheating Harbaugh teams 1-2 times I can’t remember. Penn State was a shit hole and fucked after Joe Pa statue cam down. His teams are tough on defense and have some pretty good offensive stats including running the ball. His recruiting has been great as well
-
Virginia Tech hired him
Thankfully
-
Fisch still has 0 exceeding expectation wins at UW and is facing 3 tarmac games.
Beating Illinois by more than the spread does not give him cover if he loses one of the next 3. He's done nothing where he has earned sufficient goodwill to survive a loss in the next 3 games.
Would it be bad if he left us after this year? Probably pending the next 3, and yes if he wins those given the churn of a program due to coaching changes.
If he goes 10-2 or even 9-3 we probably have to up his salary due to the landscape but should not be tripping over ourselves to do so. Increase his incentives or something.
-
I can't wait to be endlessly entertained by that combo
-
Yes, he can go there, and not give a shit about that job and look for the next big job coming other than coming here and doing the same thing
-
That's true, and he got his ass kicked by Purdue at the end, but then still handled "top 3 or 5 coach" in the country Chris Petersen whose offense scored 3 points the game before.
My problem is just the quooking about Petersen and Browning. 8, 7, 8 wins half his years, Browning was terrible 3 out of his 4 seasons.
Both had plenty of chances to shut me up and Pete would rather just wear a purple tie on Fox and ass grab with Matt Leinhart since he actually had a good record against USC while at UW.
-
Peterman was better off as a coach in the 80s and 90s. The game passed him by before it really started. Great coach maybe elite but not a snake. You needed to be a snake and be elite
-
Was thirsting for James Franklin satire? Outside of the most talented running back since Barry Sanders happening to be from his state and playing for him, he did nothing more than what you would expect at Penn State, which is either the second or third-best positioned program in the Big 10, which has quietly been pretty pedestrian other than Ohio State for decades (outside of a 3 year Michigan window).
I'd much much rather take a big swing with someone young or someone like DeBoer (Eck) than someone like Franklin or fucking Brian Kelly who have been mediocre at Top 10 blue bloods.
-
If Franklin couldn't win it all at Penitentiary (har har) State, he sure as hell can't do it at Washington.
-
Absolutely not. I can't think of a single previously-fired college coach that I would consider in the slightest, other than Kiffin. Especially one like Franklin, that if he did find success here, would assuredly just then look to leave for a better job. I'd take Mora over him in that category of coach because at least he might consider being loyal.
-
Feels like a UW that is living in a data-informed world would go hard after Mora in back channels right now.
-
I'd love it if UW locked down Jedd for going 9-3 or 10-2. Jedd + UW 4vr!!
-
Is it official? Arkansas also bidding for him?
-
If he goes 10-2 and BONEMs we need to throw the bag at him. It's the reality of this fucked up sport these days.
9-3, agreed. It is still better to keep him than lose him, but ehh….
-
Mora is the ultimate test of the institution making the coach
If he won big here iDawg and I get statues at Husky Stadium for our data driven call in 2007
-
Forget the data. Who is baking the cake?!
-
I’ve been watching Is it Cake? I think I can pull off an Olindo Mare shank cake
-
It just makes sense that Mora eventually lands this job. It is the ultimate happy-ending script, and we could blow this place up once and for all.
Then die with smiles on our faces.
-
Jedd Fisch is Dennis Erickson.
-
Except he's not as successful.
-
Jedd can't even carry Denny's jock let alone refill his G&T.
-
UCLA really hasn't done much since Robert Toledo got them some top ten seasons. New weasel got them blown out in the Pac 12 CG if I remember right.
-
I don’t agree about the snake part. He could have been exactly how he was, except with a good offense, and he would have won. The burnout was not the problem. Trotting out bullshit offenses with average QB play was.
-
The Weasel got screwed by Brett Hundley's injury and impatient AD.
Mora takes over with Rick's players, most notably Hundley, and hits 10 wins. Mora went downhill after 2 seasons once he had to win with his guysm.
Neuheisel is a good coach.
-
I feel like a snake would’ve fired one of his shitty coordinators
-
Neuheisel has had one good season in the last 30 years
He is mediocre
