Good luck to Jedd Fisch as he leaves Arizona for Washington.
The coach who took the Wildcats from one win to a top-15 rating in simply three seasons has completed sufficient to land an even bigger job.
It is simply the newest reminder that so most of the issues I beloved about faculty soccer are gone. As of late, we will not even faux it is not nearly cash.
There was a time when applications had been synonymous with their coaches.
Eddie Robinson. Bear Bryant. RC Slocum. Lou Holtz. Joe Paterno. Bo Schembechler. Bobby Bowden. Dick Tomey. Frank Kush.
True faculty soccer followers learn that record of names and knew the faculties with out having to look them up. (And actual faculty soccer followers are ticking and emailing me about who I failed to say.)
As of late, even a program like Washington goes via coaches like a big household goes via eggs.
Don James coached the Huskies for 18 years from 1975 to 1992.

Now? Chris Peterson. Jimmy Lake. Kalen DeBoer. And Jedd Fisch, apparently. That is from 2019. (Additionally, ignore the three-game Bob Gregory period, as a result of actually, why rub it in?).
Are Kyle Whittingham, Mike Gundy and Dabo Swinney subsequent?
School soccer simply would not really feel like the game we fell in love with.
As if the fixed participant transfers weren’t unhealthy sufficient?
As if NIL wasn’t complicated sufficient?
As if convention realignment did not spoil sufficient conventional rivalries?
Now, a program cannot even go from unhealthy to good with out having to start out over.
Received it, I believe.
Fisch will clarify his causes quickly sufficient. Who would not need more cash and extra assets and extra status?
However is there a degree when sufficient is sufficient? Are there issues that matter as a lot? Are there issues that matter extra?
Happiness? Loyalty? Stability?
I assume he is simply naive. It’s extra life like to imagine that everybody has a worth.
Good luck to Jedd Fisch, I assume.
He’ll want it.
I do not think about anybody in Seattle will likely be as affected person because the followers in Tucson in the event that they need to undergo a one-win season to arrange their schedule.
School sports activities aren’t like that anymore.
