SEATTLE (AP) — Looking out at Lake Washington and the Cascade Mountains from his new football offices, Jedd Fisch saw a place that can consistently contend for championships.
“I chose this university because you believe that every year is a championship year,” Fisch said Tuesday as he was formally introduced as Washington’s coach. “Winning in football is a priority in Seattle. And as I look out and see what’s in the future, I see the potential.”
The 47-year-old Fisch left Arizona to take the Washington job on Sunday, just two days after Kalen DeBoer left the Huskies to replace Nick Saban at Alabama. Washington is coming off a trip to the national championship game under DeBoer, who went 25-3 over two success-filled seasons in Seattle.
As the Huskies transition to the Big Ten and college football expands to a 12-team playoff, Fisch envisions a Washington program that’s perennially in the national mix.
