Jedd Fisch is heading north from Arizona to Washington.
Washington announced Sunday evening that it had hired Fisch, 47, as its next head coach to replace new Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer. Fisch rebuilt the Arizona football program over his three seasons as head coach; the Wildcats went 10-3 in 2023 and ended the season on a seven-game winning streak that was capped by a win over Oklahoma in the Alamo Bowl.
One of Arizona’s three losses during the season came at home to Washington on Sept. 30. The Huskies won that game 31-24 — one of their 10 straight wins by 10 points or fewer as they advanced to the national title game.
