Seems weird, but I've heard many stories of CEOs running companies that they have no real expertise in. We shall see how it works for Fisch. If I was an Arizona fan I don't think I'd be real happy about the hire though.Never played football.
Kinda uncommon to not have played ever...Never played football.
Agreed. They fired Sumlin on December 12, so the official search was 11 days (although I am sure the AD had made the decision before that date). I am not aware of any link Fisch has to U of A. This seems like a desperation, no one wants the job hire to me. Wonder if they were looking for somebody they could hire on the cheap?Wow is that underwhelming for Arizona fans. Nothing about him leads me to believe this will be a successful run.
You'd think the obvious thing to do is hire whomever the best up and coming MWC or even Big Sky head coach is out there. San Jose State coach?Agreed.

Thanks, that explains a lot.He is good friends with the President.
He does.Does Adam Weber have strong ties to Fisch?. Possible QB coach?
I poked in on a U of A fan forum (Bear Down Wildcats). I've never seen that sort of reaction to a coaching hire. Fisch is stepping into a job where pretty much 100% of the hard core fan base (I figure that's who posts on fan forums) hate the hire. A lot of fans are vowing to step away, cancel season tickets and stop donations to their school unless major changes are made. Threats like that aren't totally uncommon on fan forums, but something about the ones I saw seem to have a real sense of authenticity to them.
Post of the day!Kill shot hire by U of A!
Wow is that underwhelming for Arizona fans. Nothing about him leads me to believe this will be a successful run. I'm guessing Antonio Pierce comes over to run the D and recruit.
What are the best analogs for Arizona football in the P5?
I'm thinking: Wake Forest, Kansas, Syracuse ?
