Jedd Fisch won reviews from Bill Belichick when he left New England.
The University of Arizona press that pronounced Fisch as his new head coach included the following quote from Belichick, who hired Fisch as patriots’ quarterback coach last winter:
“Jedd Fisch is one of the most notable coaches I have worked with and has been a wonderful addition to our staff this year. Jedd has extensive experience in many organizations, at school and in the NFL, and is in a position to lead the Arizona program. While we will miss your contributions here, we wish Jedd and Amber maximum productive luck at the University of Arizona, home to two of the largest patriots, Tedy Bruschi and Rob Gronkowski, as well as our existing Wildcats. , Nick Folk and JJTaylor. “
Arizona officially hired Fisch on Wednesday after interviewing him on Monday. This will be the first permanent boss training position for the 44-year-old coach, who expressed his enthusiasm in a video recorded outside Gillette Stadium.
Fisch, who has coached a dozen groups at the school and NFL level, noted as the maximum possible internal replacement for patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, which may pique the interest of the head coach in the coming weeks.
Now it’s hard to know who would be in the role of McDaniels if long-term CO was hired elsewhere. The Atlanta Falcons, Detroit Lions and Houston Texans have already fired their head coaches, and more layoffs may be imminent by the end of the season.
The New England offensive under McDaniels lately includes midfield coach Ivan Fears, closed-header coach Nick Caley, open receiver coach Mick Lombardi, co-offensive line coaches Carmen Bricillo and Cole Popovich, assistant runner Troy Brown and offensive assistant Tyler Hughes.
