Social media reacts to Jedd Fisch leaving Arizona for Washington
The college football and NFL coaching cycles have been extremely busy this month. Nick Saban retired, and Alabama wasted no time in hiring Kalen DeBoer, who just coached Washington in the College Football Playoff National Championship game a week ago.
Then, Washington wasted no time and hired Jedd Fisch, the Arizona Wildcats head coach, to replace DeBoer. Fisch departing Arizona to go to Washington is a big move, and the Wildcats are in for another coaching search after going 10-3 this past season.
Fisch leaving the Big 12-bound Wildcats for the Big Ten-bound Huskies is great news for Colorado, as Arizona likely won’t be as competitive next season.
Fans on social media were quick to react to the news of Fisch joining the Huskies.
BROKEN
Jedd Fisch is leaving for Washington after 3 years at Arizona. He will presumably be taking all of Arizona’s talent, all the while being on the brink of doing something that has never been done at Arizona (CFP). College football is broken. I’m done with it.

FRAUD
Update: I am no longer rocking with Jedd Fisch. Absolute fraud. I hate this for the players. https://t.co/6Z866Q6kOb

WHAT'S NEXT?
Does Arizona even have enough money to pay for a coaching search to replace Jedd Fisch?

SUCKS
Jedd Fisch just led Arizona to 10 wins for the first time since 2014.
If he’s not a priority for the school, the school doesn’t deserve him. Sucks for the fans but if the administration doesn’t prioritize football, this will continue to happen no matter the school. https://t.co/EByPQ6AuTx

ANOTHER JOB
Jedd Fisch is about to start his 18th coaching job. His average tenure in each role is 1.53 seasons.
UW has found stability. I’m sure of it.

MASSIVE
Massive get for Washington as Jedd Fisch is confirmed as their next HC.
Fisch took over a program that had gone winless when he got there and brought them to 10 wins in 2023.
Notable wins for UA this past season:
44-6 @ WSU
27-24 vs Oregon State
27-10 vs UCLA
42-18 vs Utah… https://t.co/uxgoRVxHTc— WestCoastCFB (@WestCoastCFB) January 14, 2024
