Jedd Fisch to UCLA

The rather nomadic life of an assistant is something I could never get into - that has to be wearing on these guys that do have families like Fisch too, dragging them to new cities every couple years on average. You basically have to love football to do that, I would think.

Ouch. That one hurts. The only upside is that Harbaugh already has a track record of going straight for the top to find replacements. Should be interesting to see who he brings in. Greg Roman possibly?

Best of luck to him. I'm sure Harbaugh will find himself a fine replacement.

Not completely shocked...thought 3 yrs would have been his max in AA. Roman looks like a legit possibility or knowing Harbaugh there is some kind of young QC guy he would bring in.

I used to get sad when an assisstant coach left. After Don now I just wonder who the upgrade is going to be.

that confident this wasn't a mutual decision? It's not like JH can't attract elite assistants. Clearly the University will pay for them. Maybe JH wants to switch things up. Not saying Fisch isn't a very good coach but isn't UM supposed to have the BEST assistants available?

He was an nfl coordinator coaching as a college assistant. If you're suggesting Harbaugh gave him a firm handshake I think you're mistaken

I'm not saying you're doing this...but sometimes I feel like we think people can't just leave us. Whether it be a coach or a player.

We instantly downplay the impact or talk about how we pushed the coach/player out.

It's clockwork every time.

These are roller coaster times. Players coming and going. Coaches going and coming. Excited for who harbaugh gets next.

If the Harbaugh coaching tree is leading to this type of gig, we should have highly competent guys lining up to join the staff. Fisch will be tough to replace, however, given how well thought of he is. Congrats to him anyway.

Was Fisch much of a recruiter? I don't recall seeing his name very often when discussing recruits (as opposed to Wheat, Partridge, Brown, GMatt, etc).

Could hurt with the guys that had UCLA and UM as their top choices (DTR and Brevin Jordan in '18)

He hadn't done much recruiting this season, which makes me think this departure was forecasted awhile ago.

The only commit he was primary recruiter on this year is McCaffrey, and, no offense to Jedd, but any QB recruit is coming here for Harbaugh not Jedd Fisch.

When we were waiting for Harbaugh to find a new DC I don't remember anyone anticipating it would be Don Brown. Hope we get a similar surprise this time.

Well.

Greg Roman? Pep Hamilton?

We just had Jimme Dougherty - he just left to go with Taggert to Oregon. Can we bring him back? He easily would've een the lead candidate.

Then you have TJ Weist. He was just on our staff and left to go to USF and coach with Taggert. He was their head coach during the bowl win.

Lifelong East Coast guy leaving Jim Harbaugh for the black hole that is Jim Mora's UCLA. Mora will enter next year on one of the hottest seats in CFB. This seems kinda fishy to me.

I had hoped we had one more year with him but oh well. He definitely was one of my favorites. Good luck to him....now it'll be interesting to see who he gets. Any chance there's an internal promotion?

With Harbaugh, coaches will be attracted to work and learn under him. In turn, we will lose coaches every year most likely. Harbaugh will reload with new talent in terms of coaches. The question is who could be the replacement? WR coach or combo QB/WR coach?
