\u201cThose lists are made by people who have no idea what\u2019s going on, honestly. They don\u2019t know what\u2019s happening in our program,\u201d Fisch said, in a speech made for a politician\u2019s stump. \u201cThey have no idea how excited I am about the youth in our program. \u2026 We love coaching at the University of Washington.\u201d<\/p>\n

My guy, you just lost 13-10 to woeful Wisconsin<\/a>, and the Badgers<\/a>\u2019 leading passer was the punter. So, yeah, you don\u2019t need to convince us you\u2019re not going to be Florida\u2019s next coach. Your team\u2019s last performance told me as much.<\/p>\n

B1G greed: Big Ten is letting the wolf in the door and selling its soul. For what?<\/a><\/p>\n

Advertisement<\/p>\n

Buffoons on the bayou: Only a band of idiots could screw up LSU football. About that …<\/a><\/p>\n

Those with good memories recall Fisch\u2019s previous vows<\/a> to stay at Arizona.<\/p>\n

\u201cI couldn’t do that to my wife, Amber. She has made 12 moves with me,\u201d Fisch said back then on SiriusXM, when asked about whether he’d maybe leave Arizona.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am committed to the kids here,\u201d he added. \u201cI want to see this come to fruition.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fisch put it even more emphatically in 2024 during an appearance on \u201cThe Jim Rome Show\u201d while at Arizona: \u201cI have no interest in going anywhere,\u201d Fisch said then.<\/p>\n

Fisch left Arizona for Washington, shortly after his loyalty pledges. His wife and kids stayed in Arizona<\/a>, so his teenage daughter didn\u2019t have to change schools. Fisch brought along some Arizona players to Washington.<\/p>\n

Advertisement<\/p>\n

So, when Fisch pledges allegiance to Washington while Florida, his alma mater, is hiring, I say in the Ron Burgundy voice: \u201cI don\u2019t believe you<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

I do believe Florida should show restraint from hiring a coach who couldn’t beat an opponent that used a punter-led passing attack.<\/p>\n

Shane Beamer channeled some Fisch energy earlier this season. Beamer called South Carolina his \u201cdream job<\/a>\u201d and downplayed the idea of leaving for his alma mater, Virginia Tech, where his dad Frank became a legendary coach.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have conveyed publicly many times how much I want to be here,\u201d Beamer said.<\/p>\n

Is that a promise, or a threat? Beamer\u2019s Gamecocks are 3-6, making them one of the season\u2019s biggest busts after a preseason No. 13 ranking.<\/p>\n
