Report: Jedd Fisch offered coaching position
Word from a Fox1 reporter suggest that Jedd Fisch, most recently the OC for the Jaguars (and OC at Miami (YTM)) has been offered the role of Passing Game Coordinator. Great hire if he does accept
College FB news -- I'm hearing ex-Jags OC Jedd Fisch will be offered the Pass Game Coordinator job at University of Michigan. @FOXSports1

I'm not the only one bothered by that.
J. Ira sounds like old money. Nicki is paid in dollar bills stuffed into a g-string.

January 8th, 2015 at 2:35 PM ^
Nicki is a stripper name.
January 8th, 2015 at 2:44 PM ^
They do fancy dances and we pay them money. As well we should.
January 8th, 2015 at 3:07 PM ^
in Michigan? Metro Detroit specifically?
Because they do a lot more than that here.
/not complaining, love strippers.

Right.... should be J. Ira and Nicole Harris Family
January 8th, 2015 at 1:39 PM ^
besides the 8 names that is in place.

Run the Bubble Screen - NOW! The corners are giving us 8 yards of cushion Jethro
January 8th, 2015 at 1:53 PM ^
20 posts until the first Jedd Clampett reference. Wonder if that's who he's named after?
January 8th, 2015 at 1:53 PM ^
Running a bubble screen out in Utah as Michigan's first play of the 2015 season would be hilarious.
January 8th, 2015 at 2:34 PM ^
"Way to execute that, them, there bubble screen!"

If I recall correctly, Jethro could only throw accurately if he had possum grease on his hand. Ellie May could drop dimes w/out the grease.

He'd most likely be coupled as a TE or WR coach as well. So he would be passing game coordinator along with TE coach(or wr coach).
January 8th, 2015 at 1:54 PM ^
He's never coached TE's before. Has coached some WR here and there. Just seems really weird to me. With the emphasis Harbaugh is probably going to put on TEs, I would think he would want a TE's type guy. Honestly, I wouldn't have been surprised to see Baxter double has a TE coach considering he's been a TE and WR coach for several years.
January 8th, 2015 at 1:43 PM ^
This is the guy that coached Henne and Blake Bortles. So uh....I don't really have much to add aside from the Jags were / are a tire fire.
January 8th, 2015 at 1:50 PM ^
but they do have this guy.

but the Jags have been a tire fire for sometime now, and ther QB play isn't the only reason.
January 8th, 2015 at 1:44 PM ^

Either above or below (depending on how your feed works). He did great things at Miami with their offense, Before that he was with Seattle and worked under Carroll. While Jacksonville was awful, I think it's more of an issue with their head coach and lack of talent.
January 8th, 2015 at 1:59 PM ^
When I look at his bio, I see a guy who has jumped in short stints from place to place taking usually lateral or slight demotional moves, then when he makes an upward move, he finds himself now out of a job pretty quickly. He's still young and all, but that resume is different than, say, DJ Durkin that shows a clear upward trajectory in jobs and programs and who has lots of people banging at his door to get him to coach for them. But that's just me I guess. In Harbaugh we trust and all.
January 8th, 2015 at 1:48 PM ^
Fisch was in a tough situation with Jacksonville this season. His offense had a rookie quarterback, two rookie offensive linemen and three rookie wide receivers all starting or playing significant snaps.
Some people think he was the fall guy for HC Gus Bradley. The Jags were bad on offense this season but didn't have much to work with, having so many green players.
Players, including Blake Bortles, were shocked when they heard he was fired. I think he's a solid OC but a sacrificial lamb.
Either way, he has experience in major college football and the NFL. Seems like a decent candidate.
January 8th, 2015 at 1:46 PM ^
What? I was sure they'd hire quarterbacks coach JimBob Cooter from the Lions for the passing game coordinator position!
January 8th, 2015 at 1:47 PM ^
...From NFL OC to "Passing Game Coordinator" for a college team. Based on resumes alone, our coaching staff, if it comes together as projected, looks like it could go head-to-head with most NFL teams. And that's before you get to Harbaugh.
January 8th, 2015 at 1:47 PM ^
January 8th, 2015 at 1:47 PM ^
JH left so much money on the table. Seems like he's trying to build an unstoppable team of assistants.
January 8th, 2015 at 1:54 PM ^
That Fisch is delicious!
January 8th, 2015 at 1:48 PM ^
How would that be a great hire? I mean, trust in Harbaugh and all, but the guy hasn't been a coach for more than like two years at any one place and most recently got fired for throwing too many complex passing schemes at a professional, albeit rookie, QB. The HC wanted more packaged plays. Doesn't have the greatest resume, and then you've got an overload of OC/QB type guys on the offense under compared to defense. Just seems weird and out of left field to me. Offensive coaching staff would look like Harbaugh, Drevno, Wheatly, Dougherty, Fisch, possibly some TE guy (Fisch has never coach TE;s). The defense would look like Durkin, Mattison, Jackson? A bit unbalanced, doesn't it seem like?

Yeah, that could be very true. I'm not saying he would be terrible, but I just don't agree with the 'this would be a great hire if true' sentiment just because UM may be trying to hire him, especially considering all the other offensive assistants that are strongly considered.
January 8th, 2015 at 2:45 PM ^
I'd be shocked if Harbaugh hired Dougherty, Fisch, and a TE guy. One of those jobs will go to the defensive side. If need be, Baxter could coach the TEs and special teams. He's done it for years.
January 8th, 2015 at 1:49 PM ^
Will there be a Play Action Coordinator?? Luckily Borges is off the board.
January 8th, 2015 at 2:01 PM ^
I bet Borges would come back if we asked nicely.
Maybe he and Heiko could have a reunion.
January 8th, 2015 at 2:06 PM ^
January 8th, 2015 at 2:27 PM ^
Only if Heiko made the offer in person.
January 8th, 2015 at 3:16 PM ^
January 8th, 2015 at 2:00 PM ^
is this position/coordinator really necessary?
January 8th, 2015 at 2:01 PM ^
Necessary? No. That's why some programs don't have a pass game coordinator.
January 8th, 2015 at 2:05 PM ^
But,why the need for one when OC duties overlap this responsibility?
January 8th, 2015 at 2:20 PM ^
It would be redundant. It would also be confusing, because I'm not sure why Drevno would leave a position as a run game coordinator on the west coast...for a job as a run game coordinator in the midwest, where he has no history.
Basically, you wouldn't have an offensive coordinator and a passing game coordinator. You would have someone in charge of the run and someone in charge of the pass, and they would be co-coordinators.
January 8th, 2015 at 2:02 PM ^
I am staunchly against having anyone on the staff named Jedd.
