The University of Washington is drawing closer to naming Jedd Fisch as the next head football coach for the Huskies. According to a source familiar with the negotiations, the school is in talks with Fisch, who currently serves as the head coach at Arizona. While the deal has not been finalized, ESPN reports that Fisch is the leading candidate for the position.
The search for a new coach comes less than a week after Washington played in the national championship game. The Huskies are looking to quickly fill the void left by former head coach Kalen DeBoer, who recently departed for Alabama. Athletic director Troy Dannen, in his first significant decision since taking over in October, aims to provide stability for a football program coming off its most successful season in over 30 years.
