Next HC for these College Teams?

Don’t get me wrong, Fisch is a good coach and if he comes I’m not complaining. I like Jason Eck for a number of reasons, he’s shown that he can turn programs around quickly, known for building powerful offenses, one of the best recruiters in the Country and develops strong relationships with players and families.

He took University of Idaho to back to back FCS playoff appearances in just 3 seasons. At Minnesota St he won two Northern Sun intercollegiate conference championships and went to the divisional NC game. They’re loving him at NM right now.

Eck is exactly the kind of coach UCLA needs right now who can come in and bring consistency and winning. Plus it would be a step up for him coming to a major program, whereas for Fisch it’s more of a lateral move.

I remember the critics didn’t like the Dick Vermeil hire at UCLA and how did that turnout LOL. Difference now of course they can make so much money coaching college they don’t have to bolt for the NFL.

Yeah, that ‘wife hates Seattle’ narrative is taking on a life of it’s own. I have only read what the family has said, but it makes too much sense as it is not ‘juicy’ enough, so something has to be made up, not that it is fact, but more to keep the low information people engaged. If you repeat that tale enough times, it becomes true. If there is any quote stating the wife hates Seattle, I haven’t seen it. could you provide us with some sort of ‘reliable’ source?

I don’t care that much as coaches nowadays are more vagabond than ever and Fisch has always moved around. Who knows how long he will stay but it is funny that many believe the wife is calling the shots on which job to take and which job not to. I have maintained that Fisch’s goal is the NFL. Is the wife going to nix a job in Chicago? Green Bay, New England, Buffalo, etc? She married a guy full well knowing that moves are part of the business and if she is the decision maker, Fisch could probably take a job at a JC in Arizona or something and have the stability for a long term situation in a place she would ‘approve’…

First, Deboer was at UW for only 2 years.

Second, UW took a couple of ‘gambles’ with Neuheisel and Sark. Like Cignetti, they had 2 good/very good seasons but they started to falter starting with their 3rd seasons. Now, I don’t necessarily see that for Cignetti, but it will be interesting to follow.

Ty Willingham was a disaster even before the beginning. Nobody I know thought it was nothing except a terrible choice and even he lasted 1 year longer than he should have.

I guess you forgot about Petersen 2014 – 2019. 2 conference championships, 3 BCS bowl appearances and a CFP appearance in 6 seasons after taking over a very unbalanced roster under Sark. Too bad he didn’t like what he was seeing with college football moving forward, from a coaching standpoint. I get it. I came to the same conclusion as a fan.

As far as Fisch goes, we will see what happens if he stays at UW for more than a few seasons. If he heads off elsewhere, UW will find another one. I am not as invested/engaged as I used to be but still like the game of football and enjoy the atmosphere of a college football stadium.

An A+ with Fisch???  Totally forgot that Fisch took UW to the playoffs last year….lol.  If Fisch wins out and somehow makes the playoffs this season, I’d give him a B+ overall collectively at UW.

Butkus51, we quacks are actually thinking hard and long about our game vs USC at Autzen.  First things first.  Funny thing is arguably Oregon’s been better on the road than at home this season so far…our next game at Iowa in 2 weeks will either reinforce or refute that assertion.

Not to say playing at Husky Stadium will be easy, it won’t.  But neither will beating USC at Autzen this season.

Fisch is a strange dude, or maybe not. He’s definitely a bag chaser, i don’t believe he’s going to stay anywhere for a long time. He’s got ambition and kinda an F everyone attitude. He ripped the hearts out in tucson and took some good players out of the Pueblo. I guess we’ll see. Not a fan as you could guess.

So Lincoln Riley has ambition and kinda an F everyone attitude for taking the USC job and took good players (ie. Caleb Williams) out of Norman?

Hypocrite much or are you just ignoring the current state of college football?

USC  isn’t beating Oregon on the road

talent level is still two years away from being even. And that assumes usc keeps recruiting at this levels and doesn’t churn kids.

and that both staffs remain as they are.   There’s only a 20% chance two years from now that the coordinators and head coaches for both teams remain.  And a 50% both head coaches will still be in place.

assuming they are.  I think USC will be on par with coaching.  On part with athletes. And will have them in the system long  for maturity.    Oregon entered this season 3 years ahead of usc in that regard and I think USC has done well enough that with this trajectory of organization coaching and recruiting that they can go toe to toe with UO in 2027 or 2028.  Not until then.  Unless someone at USC takes a major leap or lanning sh the bed

Easy answer.  And one of the over-sung heroes of the Wildwest:  Jonathan Smith should be the next head coach at Washington!

“…and that’s a fact.”

Your words not mine and you still have not provided any real source, not a sworn statement from a notary, but something credible that does not include anonymous sources, friend of a friend or from message boards. If it is ‘fact’, I am sure there is a link where your read/heard it yourself.

What is fact is the daughters want to finish HS with the friends they made there (yes, both are in HS), not because they ‘hate’ Seattle. They said that in an interview was the reason when they enrolled in school down there. That is not unusual. The family still attends all the games.
