Washington hires Jedd Fisch

[BigJCy]

May just be B.S. but there is some smoke on the interwebs about Pete Carroll maybe being the next Washington coach. I doubt it happens but some of Carroll's former players have been hinting about it.

I may have missed something, but what makes you think today is when they announce a new coach?

Because AZ head coach interviewed for the position and late in the day signed a new contract. Leading people to believe that a decision was close (and that it wasn't Fisch.) The reality is that you have to do it quickly now because every team gets a 30 day special transfer portal in this coach change situation and drawing it out means the wolves will come and pick over your roster.

Do we have any credible sources Washington and CMC are talking, or is all speculation? If we’re just speculating, then I’ll say Jedd Fisch will be the new Washington HC

If we’re speculating even more, I think it will be Brian Ferentz

No "offense" but I don't think it will be BF

Beat writer for the Seattle Times tweeted that a coach would likely be announced today and it isn’t Grubb or Fisch.

Word on the street is the two front runners at the moment are Kingsbury and Klieman. Nothing would make me happier than watching my KSU buddies have complete meltdowns. FWIW, Bookies.com says Campbell has the best odds based on literally nothing

 

[Die4Cy]

That'd be a heckuva soft landing for Kliff. He's never done anything close to what a guy usually has to do on the resume to earn the jobs he's gotten.

I dont think its CMC going to UW.

He is a midwest guy, his family is settled, he isnt looking for a payday. And i think UW will want a "west" guy who can recruit the PNW and rockies. DeBoer at least had a couple years out west.

Of course i also thought Fred wasnt going anywhere til his kids were grown up...

Do you have the tweet saying it's not Fisch?

Fisch just got a new deal from Arizona yesterday.

Living in Arizona October through May versus Washington State. Hmmmm. That's a tough decision.

I don't know about that reporting. They've agreed on principle, it sounds like. But the Arizona 247 guy was still reporting yesterday that Fisch had interviewed with and was interested in Arizona.

I think that article that was linked was based on the status a few weeks ago.

I think it will be Kleimann, but if it's not him, we may be in for a rough day...

Are you favoring Zona?

I wouldn't want either but moisture's cool.

It is obvious that a candidate has already been hired if Grubb didn’t even get a shot at the job. The Washington AD is an Iowa native and was at UNI previously. I’m hoping Kleiman but I’m prepared for the worst.

It's pretty much been assumed Kleiman told them no. He's holding out for Iowa. If we really think it down to Klieman and Campbell we are screwed.

But the Arizona 247 guy was saying last night Fisch was still in the running and said that LL had talked to them. He thinks Campbell is also in the mix, but I don't think he's said that Campbell talked to them. He's not saying anything about Klieman.

Washington State ... while visually glorious... has the most depressing weather Fall, Winter and early Spring. I've had 4 family members live there since the late 70s.

If Campbell takes Washington you gotta think Golesh is Pollards first call but who knows

LL is definitely the splashier hire right now, nationally. I just find the silence out of JP and our football program and Danning's familiarity with our state and CMC a tad concerning.
