A quick glance at Washington head coach Jedd Fisch

Penn State faces Washington this week. Learn about Huskies head coach Jedd Fisch and his unique career path.

Washington head coach Jedd Fisch has taken an unconventional path to his current position. His football journey began in the Arena Football League, then he moved into graduate assistant roles before making a name for himself in the NFL. His stints with the Houston Texans, Baltimore Ravens, Jacksonville Jaguars, Seattle Seahawks, Denver Broncos, and New England Patriots showcased his versatility and ability to adapt to different coaching styles.

However, it was his time with the Rams as an offensive assistant to Sean McVay that truly put him on the map. After a stint at UCLA, Fisch earned a head coaching job at Arizona, where he led the Wildcats to their most successful season in history in just three years. His success at Arizona prompted him to take on the challenge of leading the Washington Huskies in 2024.

Despite facing significant obstacles, including quarterback changes and recent home losses, Fisch's leadership and determination have kept Washington in control of their own destiny with a 5-3 record.
