Jedd Fisch Takes Helm of Washington Huskies Amid Player Transfers

Fisch, known for his recruiting acumen, aims to keep Huskies as championship contenders while managing player transfers.

Jedd Fisch, the new coach of the Washington Huskies, envisions the team as a consistent contender for championships, following a successful tenure at Arizona where he transformed the Wildcats into one of the Pac-12's best teams.
Fisch's recruiting skills were a key factor in his appointment, with Washington athletic director Troy Dannen highlighting his 'maniacal' approach to recruitment.
Following the departure of previous coach Kalen DeBoer, several key players and recruits have entered the transfer portal, a situation Fisch is hoping to manage by retaining as much of the team as possible.
Fisch has signed a seven-year contract with Washington, starting at $7.5 million annually, with incremental increases up to $7.95 million in the final year.
Fisch's appointment comes as the Huskies transition to the Big Ten and college football expands to a 12-team playoff.
