The opportunity to take over for Nick Saban at Alabama lured Kalen DeBoer away from Washington just a week after losing in the national title game.
A quick search led Huskies administration to Jedd Fisch, who engineered a quick turnaround at Arizona in three seasons, taking them from 1-11 to a top 11 ranking and 10-win season this past fall.
Fisch's entire offensive staff from Arizona joined him on the initial plane that took him to his introductory presser.
