Arizona has found its next head coach.
The university announced Wednesday that it has hired New England Patriots quarterbacks coach Jedd Fisch as its new coach. Fisch replaces Kevin Sumlin after Sumlin was fired following the team’s 70-7 loss to Arizona State.
Fisch, 44, has recent college football coaching experience. He was the passing game coordinator at Michigan in 2015 and 2016 and served as the offensive coordinator at UCLA in 2017. He was an assistant with the Los Angeles Rams in 2018 and 2019, including the year when the Rams went to the Super Bowl, before joining the Patriots’ staff in 2020.
