Rutgers West hires Fisch

[cr8zyncalif]

Pros for UW:

Quick resolution; avoided prolonged rumors and angst.
Proven coach.
Will probably hang on to nucleus of roster.
May poach Arizona.
They didn't want DeBoer, anyway.

Cons for UW:

He will leave for the first better offer.
He needs a lot of NIL money, especially with the big roster turnover at UW.
He has a buyout that I have to assume UW will be forced to pay...on top of a big raise...on top of losing a chunk of PAC money...on top of a halfsie share of B10 revenue.
UW has been crying the budget blues and this won't make the crying any quieter.

This promises to be interesting!

Does Fifita follow him?

Does Fifita follow him?

I was wondering the same thing

Does Fifita follow him?

If Fifita decides to transfer, why go to rebuilding UW? Dude can get offers at a lot of places.

What has he proved?

What has he proved?

Biggs, he has proven several things.

- UW was desperate.
- UW is also gambling on his ability to gut Arizona's roster and use that as a reload in Seattle. Remember, these are the same people who lied to the PAC while in a leadership position, then conspired to blow up the league. Buying a coach who can bring half a team with him fits right in...
- More support for your position that kids should have to sign a multi-year agreement to get NIL.
- He was smart enough to be the first in the west to jump on NIL several years ago, and that was what set him up for this season. Call it what you want, but that was a good decision.
- And you know he was calling UW as soon as DeBoer's name came up for Bama, not the reverse. He has proven that he can sell himself.

Now, if you had asked what he has proven about himself, I'd have to remove a few things from the above. In my limited mind, his main claims to fame are an ability to recognize NIL for what it was before many others, and to put together a reasonably solid staff at UA to result in this year's season.

He is riding out of Tucson before the 1-11 catches up to him.

If deLaura didn’t get hurt, strong chance Fisch was gonna get fired late in the season as they moved to the Big12.

They came to Pullman at 3-3

amazing ability to spread the head coach hate across two different campuses.

 

[Coug90]

Fifita and McMillan staying at AZ. Things keep getting better for UW.

I have to think part of this was raiding Zonas roster. Fisch hasn’t been anywhere longer than 3 years. Yikes.

Why Brent Brennan will reportedly keep Noah Fifita, Tetairoa McMillan as Arizona Wildcats

Arizona Wildcats quarterback Noah Fifita and star wideout Tetairoa McMillan will reportedly be staying at Arizona after Brent Brennan's hiring.

Lots of “ifs” and “is hearing” but CBS’ Dodd is fairly reliable.

Yeah apparently both kids have a podcast and sounds like not only are they staying but are actively engaging their teammates to keep the band together considering all of the talent they have back next year. Good for them, I hope they can buck the trend. Meanwhile DeBoer is offering the top kids that committed to UW and reopened their commitments.

Screw uw & DeBoer.
