Video: Shadow Jedd Fisch for a day at Arizona
When it comes to journeys from assistant coach to coordinator to college head coach, Jedd Fisch's journey has been quite interesting.
2009 marked the first season Fisch held the offensive coordinator title while at Minnesota, and after one season coaching the quarterbacks for the Seahawks in 2010 Fisch was back in college football as the offensive coordinator at Miami. He went on to serve in a coordinator role for the Jaguars, Michigan, and UCLA before joining the Rams staff as a senior offensive assistant, where Sean McVay utilized his veteran experience and carved out an interesting role for Fisch helping him manage games and situations.
Fisch spent last season as the quarterbacks coach on Bill Belichick's staff in New England.
That journey has taken him from coast to coast working for some of the best young minds in football in guys like McVay, to a year with one of the all-time greats in Belichick.
Now, getting his chance as a first-time head coach at the college level at Arizona, I share an interest with the faithful Arizona fanbase in seeing how Fisch goes about rebuilding the Arizona program.
With the opening of spring practices yesterday, Arizona decided to have cameras following the first-time head coach for the day.
The day starts off at 5:30am for Fisch and after a quick stop at Starbucks for some caffeine and a call to his wife, he arrives at the facility where he has some printouts waiting for him on his desk about events within the program.
By 7am he's on a video call with Tedy Bruschi, who serves in the unique role of senior advisor to the head coach in a virtual capacity while also working as an analyst for ESPN, located a few time zones away on the east coast.
At 8:30 the coaches gather in the team meeting room for a socially-distanced staff meeting followed by the first team meeting of spring ball before hitting the field for the first time as a team.
Coaches gather to watch some film of practice afterwards, and that's where the tape of the day cuts off.
