- Head Football Coach
Jedd Fisch, who spent the previous three seasons restoring the football program at the University of Arizona and bringing it to its highest level in decades, accepted the position of head football coach at the University of Washington on Jan. 14, 2024.
After arriving in Seattle, he wasted no time in making his mark on a Husky program that had experienced an unprecedented amount of turnover, leaving Fisch and his staff to quickly re-assemble a team that returned just two starters on defense and none on offense. In his first season, 2024, Fisch's Huskies stretched their home winning streak to 20 games (longest-ever at Husky Stadium) and earned a berth in the Sun Bowl.
In the meantime, Fisch began building for the long term, recruiting some of the top-ranked recruiting classes in history, while also firmly embracing the new realities of college football in the era of the portal, revenue sharing and NIL. And, in spring of 2025, his team complied a cumulative grade point average of 3.27, highest in program history.
Fisch, 49, came to Seattle with a long and dynamic history of coaching in college and the NFL.
Fisch’s Wildcats went 10-3 in 2023, his last year in Tucson, beating Oklahoma in the Alamo Bowl and finishing No. 11 in the final AP Top 25 poll. The Wildcats outscored opponents, on average, 36.1 to 21.1 over the season, relying on a balanced offense that averaged 448 yards a game.
Arizona quarterback Noah Fifita was Pac-12 Offensive Freshman of the Year, while 12 Wildcat players earned some level of All-Pac-12 honors. Arizona’s stingy defense registered 34 sacks and led the conference in the red zone.
He garnered national acclaim in 2023, and was named as a finalist for the Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year Award and the Dodd Trophy, presented annually to the nation’s top head coach.
Prior to Arizona, Fisch served as the quarterbacks coach with the New England Patriots under Head Coach Bill Belichick. He previously served as an offensive coordinator, quarterbacks coach or assistant with the Los Angeles Rams, UCLA, the University of Michigan, Jacksonville Jaguars, the University of Miami, Seattle Seahawks, the University of Minnesota, the Denver Broncos and the Baltimore Ravens, and as a quality control coach with the Houston Texans. He got his start at the collegiate level serving as a graduate assistant at the University of Florida under Steve Spurrier.
In addition to Belichick and Spurrier, other mentors include Pete Carroll, Brian Billick and Jim Harbaugh.
Fisch is a native of Livingston, N.J. and graduated from the University of Florida with a bachelor’s degree in criminology in 1998. He also earned his master’s degree, in sports management in Gainesville, in 2000.
Fisch and his wife, Amber, are parents to three daughters: Zaylee, Ashlee and Kendall.
