Just two days after Kalen DeBoer left the UW Huskies for Alabama, the Dawgs have signed Jedd Fisch as their new head football coach.

The signing of Fisch, who has been at Arizona the past three seasons, was officially revealed on social media by first-year UW athletic director Troy Dannen late Sunday afternoon.

Dannen’s post came after hours of reports by college football insiders that Fisch had emerged as Washington’s focus in its search for a new coach. Dannen’s video shows him arriving at Fisch’s house in Arizona, with Fisch signing a contract on a counter.

The 47-year-old Fisch had been a popular name for the UW vacancy ever since DeBoer left to replace Nick Saban at Alabama on Friday, which came just four days after he coached the Huskies in a College Football Playoff National Championship loss to Michigan. Fisch led the Wildcats to a 10-3 record in 2023.
