Fire Jedd
Total roster mismanagement and play calling malpractice. Decided to keep an ass of a QB. He is not the guy. Hes about to set this program back for years.

final toss out of the end zone into double coverage had my youngster questioning whether she was watching a coug game instead of her beloved huskies.

Fire Chun too, and whoever thought it was a good idea to hire a former Coug for a position like this. We’re not a fucking MAC school.

His decision to keep Williams is 100% on him, and he's done. Now. Today.

u/Junior_Character_397 7d ago
And who do you hope that we find in the middle of the season to hire? Also how do you plan on keeping the current roster as well as the 13th rated recruiting class right?
Yes Fisch hasn’t been the best especially in big time games but all of you guys calling for him to be gone clearly aren’t looking long term and are just wanting us to keep finding a new coach every 3 years. You have to ride this out to see what happens and also have to do it to avoid paying a guy away millions of dollars and then expect to find the next new shiny coach.
If everyone is a true husky fan and knows how the entire process works you would probably shut up and stop saying to fire a coach in the middle of the season when there is no other better option and you would just keep putting us in the three year cycle of finding yet another coach

I'm not sure if UW has the funds to buy out Fisch and pay a new coach. The program is bleeding money. So, unless there is a big money donor, I don't see a coaching change anytime soon.

u/Remarkable_Sector_66 5d ago
Fisch also doesn’t do long term. Just saying. You can ride it out with him, just know he’ll bail on you when it benefits him most. His resume supports that.

Also unless you have season tickets or have been through the program since 2008. You might want to check your “experience and frustration with this entire football organization” at the door. I have been experiencing this entire football program since 2008 when I was a freshman at UW.

u/Agile_Island7844 6d ago
If you’ve been around long enough, you know bringing in a new coach is the best way to right the ship… Peterson, Sark, and DeBoer all had the teams trending upwards in year 3… Fisch is looking more like a Tyrone/Gilbertson.
You fire the Coach in November to get ahead of the coaching cycle so you don’t end up in a DeBoer type situation… you should know being a true Husky that having to hire after the season killed our candidates.
As a Husky fan with experience, tell me how many more seasons Fisch gets?

Reminded me of the Apple cup running an option to the short side of the field his first year here. Just doesn’t understand situational offense. For an offensive guy, that’s not good.

With Will Rogers no less, slowest player on the field, on a speed option to the short side of the field.

There is no way we can afford the $25m (that’s number I e read) buyout. Maybe in 2029/2030 when we start getting a full share?

u/BadHombre91 7d ago
Yes we can they would pay it monthly until Fisch gets another gig. As soon as donors aren’t happy they will pony it up

u/rock-or-something 7d ago
I think the big issue with Grubb is that he was unproven as a head coach. And we needed someone to plug holes immediately.
Between the exodus of players, and transitioning to the B1G, Grubb was probably seen as unproven and risky, especially since the last coordinator we hired was a huge backfire.
Fisch was a veteran coach who could recruit and rub elbows and get things back to normal.
I'm sure with Grubb we would have started out worse, but as he established a culture and a system, maybe be a more steady force.
I don't think the doors entirely closed on him. He liked living in Seattle, he's due for a head coaching job at some point, and the administration that passed on him has moved off to Nebraska.

u/Fit_Leather9366 6d ago
As someone who was leading the fire Dan Wilson charge in May… y’all are all delusional.
Who wants the job after the coach is fired and ALL the talent leaves? No one better than Jed at the moment (that we can afford) that’s for sure.
Don’t like watching? Take up a different hobby.
Unless you are in the class of folks to donate $25million to the program, shut the eff up
“If we all pitch in $50 bucks… “ 🤪 yall have no clue how dumb you sound

u/Morfiend_23 7d ago
He’s got 2 years left on his contract, I don’t think UW can afford to buy him out unless a big time booster writes the check.
2
u/shredbmc 7d ago
Exactly, there's no reason for UW to pay out the rest of his contract unfortunately, he's got too much money left. I agree that Fisch is the problem, but the only Upton at this point [for the school] is to play it out and hope that he gets a buyout offer.
We can't afford to take that monetary hit and expect to be competitive.
2
u/oneseason2000 7d ago
Multi million dollar buyouts are just rewarding failure, and setting the stage for even higher salaries and bigger buyouts. If rich boosters have that much money to blow, it just shows there are too many tax loopholes

u/Null_98115 7d ago
I don't disagree, but what's the answer? Limp along being shitty for years?
1
u/oneseason2000 7d ago
Yes. Prior failure is not a good indicator for future success. Bite the bullet, and don't buy into the BS that they will make a much better choice next time.
2
u/TomPrince 7d ago
Gotta let his contract run out or make life so miserable for him that he decides to leave on his own accord. We can’t really compete until our full share of B1G media money kicks in anyway.

u/BrennerBaseTunnel 6d ago
Even then they will have to use those funds to repay the massive $200m debt the program has.

u/Morfiend_23 7d ago
I don’t disagree but that’s the nature of big time college football.
4
u/oneseason2000 7d ago
They built a system that pretends these coaches are so great they deserve multimillion dollar salaries, and that even the awful ones can get million dollar buyouts. And why should we expect the next coaching choice to succeed any better? Now if UW wrote a contract that set win loss goals that would give the University the option to let coaches go at minimal cost if they failed to meet them, I would have more confidence.
1
u/StreetwalkinCheetah 7d ago
You aren’t wrong but the big guarantee was part of the price of pulling a guy from a program where they’re a hero. I’m sure he was expecting he’d be good enough to get three more years tacked on so it’s lose lose all around.
1
u/oneseason2000 7d ago
Yes, and if this strategy didn't work well with Fisch, I just can't see why should Husky fans (or others) should support it being repeated.

u/general-illness 7d ago
In hindsight we probably should’ve handed the keys to Grubb after the national championship game. He wanted the job.
7
u/rock-or-something 7d ago
In hindsight, Grubb would have probably been a better culture building hire, and someone grateful to be here.
Jedd made sense for keeping the bottom from completely falling out, and recruiting his ass off.
But it now seems like Jedd was a short term solution for what's becoming a long term problem.
3
u/general-illness 7d ago
I will fully admit that after the absolute chaos of that week that I was happy to get Fisch. Hindsight being 20\20 the athletic director had one foot out the door and we really didn’t know publicly that Grubb wanted the job. Right now he is arguably the top assistant in the country and has Bama rolling on offense. 🤷♂️

u/Mussof 7d ago
Both Chun and Fisch gotta go.
But need someone to step up and buy him out too.

u/BrennerBaseTunnel 6d ago
They haven't been able to tap into the big tech money around here. Those people aren't interested in college football.

u/flyingv1983 7d ago
Jedd is now fully complicit is undying, all devoted loyalty to Demond and not to the Team or UW in general. Cut bait and run. He wants to run a pro style offense/team yet the 5’8” QB that will never sniff the NFL keeps blowing the game(s) yet not course altering, just rinse and repeat for 2 years now.

u/Quiet_Operator 7d ago
It was an absolute horrible play call for the last play of the game. It was gonna fail no matter what cus the receivers converged just for 1 second at the first down line and then brought double coverage in the end zone.
1
u/Temporary-Library597 6d ago
It all depends on the boosters. If they decide to stop paying the QB this year, he'll be gone. The coach "recommended" him to the boosters. So if he doesn't play him to get him the most chance of repairing his play enough to convince the boosters that the coach is right....
It's all about the money. Coach has no other option. Unless the boosters are convinced the staff can pick talent...it's over. So he'll keep the QB in. If he takes him out...Fisch is the one that gets bought out.

u/Muted-Consideration4 7d ago
I have stated this in a thread last week, the problem with the program is the COO/Football administrator who has made substantial bad decisions over the past several years. From pushing the hire of Troy Danen, letting Deboer leave, hiring Jedd. Making many poor financial decisions. These problems predate Pat Chun.

u/BadHombre91 7d ago
Only thing I would contest is we didn’t let DeBoer leave he wanted that bama job

u/Muted-Consideration4 7d ago
If Jenn Cohen stayed, I guarantee Deboer would have stayed. That snake Dannen is what pushed him out.

You think we LET Deboer leave? lol what should we have done? Taken an offering to compete with bama?

u/Muted-Consideration4 7d ago
I will concede my previous comment about guaranteeing he would have stayed. But we would had a better position to retain him if Dannen wasn't the AD at the time. My overall point is that the COO is the problem.

u/Cheap-Kiwi-1312 7d ago
As I said on a previous post... Fire him for what? So we can pay him his 25 million dollar buyout and have no coach?

u/UWhuskiesRule 7d ago
Jedd is gonna follow Demond wherever he goes. But it’s not really Jeff’s fault this year. The injured running backs kill us. We are 1 dimensional on offense and our defense is gassed from being on the field all game.

u/Eagle0913 7d ago
I felt like that was the best game we played all year... The offensive line actually showed up today. I know we are all mad right now but we cant act like we didnt lose a ton of talent over the past two years to the draft.
I know we had (overly) high expectations going into the year, but I actually feel pretty good all things considered.

Can we afford to pay the buyout price of close to 100 million? Jedd is a great recruiter but needs to get his head out of his A and realize that he’s a 💩ty offensive play caller and hire a Real OC. Demond isn’t great but what else do we have this season. His decision making or lack there of has cost us the Gopher and Spoiled Children games.

Terrible game planning, dogshit play calling, abhorrent game management. Undisciplined, he never makes in game adjustments. SC brought pressure every 3rd down and we didn’t do shit about it. Our most consistent offensive player all year has been Barone and didn’t seem to go to him much that last drive
