The Former Los Angeles Rams assistant took a job nobody else wanted. In fact, the Athletic department of the University of Arizona was broke and Fish promised when he took the job, he would build the football program up, which would aid the athletic department in turning around their misfortune.
It is refreshing in the age of 76 million dollar buyouts that like Jedd Fish, passed over many times received his chance, albeit, taking a job nobody else in the collegiate sport world wanted. Fish started out 1-11, last year 5-7 and now after 10 games has his Wildcats at 7-3 and they have fought in every game they have been in.
There are times that doing things the old fashion way works, however, the adage "Necessity is the Mother of Invention." also percolates as the Wildcats had no where else to turn, but to give Fish the time to build the program and put on the right path. As the move to the Big 12 next season and the athletic department also tries to right the ship, it will be interesting to see if Fish can now take that program into the upper echelon and possibly challenging for the college football playoff in the future.
IMO Fish now ranks up there with Kansas Head Coach Lance Leipold resurrecting a program that had not only fell on hard times, but had no money too. Congrats to Jedd Fish for doing an exceptional job under the most challenging of circumstances.
