Greg Macleroi offers Jed Fish rating in the first year in Washington – ON3

Entry into 2024, Jed Fish decided to leave Arizona Wildcatsa program he had reinstated for Washington HuskyS There he inherited a team that had just played for a national championship, but was probably aimed at recovering and went 6-7 in the first year.

Now that the season is in the rearview mirror, analyzer Greg Macclero destroy the coaches of the first season Always college footballS There he destroyed what Fish did in Washington, giving him a merit in dealing with many changes, and then gave him a B-stage for the season.

“Jed Fish has taken a program in Washington, which was on the heels of the National Championship performance,” said Greg Macleroi. “I felt like an impossible situation. Kalen deboer Leaves, take Alabama Main work, Washington really has only once. So, they not only lost one ton of key players, Jed Fish takes a job where you move in the big ten. This is impossible. Your coach just left for Alabama. This is impossible. You just got to the National Championship. This is impossible. You lose a bunch of boys to the portal. This is impossible. And you will have to go to replace Odunze Rome., Michael PenceAnd all the great players who made up this team of the National Championship. ”

In Arizona, Jed Fish enters a time when the program is fighting. There he inherited a team that went 0-5 in season 2020. For three years he took this program from one win, up to five wins, up to 10-3 records in 2023. So he was engaged in recovery before S

“So he went into a really difficult place, but people looked at it and said,” Hold on to “the place where he steps there in Washington is difficult,” McLrooy said. “But it is probably not as difficult as the place he entered Arizona. Well, he goes and takes up to 10 wins within a few years. Quite impressive. So, you thought it wouldn’t be as challenging in the first year for Jed Fish in Seattle as in Tuscon. “

The biggest challenge for Jed Fish, as Greg McLray saw it, was the list of the list. This included the transfer portal and graduation.

“But they lost a lot in the portal. They lost Parker Brailtsford The center to Alabama. They lose Jabar Mohammed yes Oregon To become an opening angle for them. You lose Gersi Bernard to Alabama, the wide receiver. They went out into the portal and tried to fill some of these pieces. Go and take Demund Williams From Arizona you get Will Rogers from Mississippi To help overcome the abyss. So, some positive pieces were added to the portal. So, the net portal for Washington was really not so bad, “McLrooy said. “But the graduates of the previous year, the boys who exhausted their eligibility, or the boys who decided to announce early. It was there that some of the largest vacancies and the biggest challenges were felt. ”

In the end, Washington went 6-7, including a bowl loss. It was a major step back from 14-1 and included bad losses of rivals Washington State And Oregon. They would also go 4-5 in the game of the big ten, drawing three teams that went to College Football PlayoffS

“This has led to a record of 6-7 years, which feels like a very significant decline from the game in the game of the National Championship until the completion of the .500. You should also take into account the fact that it was a completely different team in a completely different league. They lost almost all their appetizers from 2023. They had very few boys who were there last year – they started a jump with Demund Williams at the end of the season in the defender, starting it down. He showed us some potential in the solar bowl against LouisvilleS I thought he had some positive moments against Oregon. ”

Now that Jed Fish has had a season in Washington, he must have his feet under it. The composition shapes the way it wants to look. Now the task is to improve from here and win more games the way he was able to in Arizona.

“So, there were some things to like in the first season of Jed Fish,” Macclero said. “But the sequence was not quite there, and I believe that the second and third years will be much better indicators of long-term success that he could have in Seattle. I will give his year a b-. “
