Regarding Jedd Fisch
I read an article (apologies, I've forgotten where) earlier that stated all Asst. Coaches were signed for 2-3 years except for Jedd Fisch, who is also making less than the rest of the assistants, save for Jay Harbaugh. Combining that knowledge with the hiring of TJ Weist (who has experience coaching WR and as OC) as "Offensive Analyst" and Derron Montgomery as "primary receivers/grad asst," can we infer that Fisch will try and jump back to the NFL, or an OC gig at a Power 5 school, and Weist and/or Montgomery are being vetted to replace him? I don't understand why TJ Weist would come along as a non-assistant otherwise.

I feel strongly both ways. As my dad used to say.

I thought this was about the dude from 'Taxi'. No, I don't think you can infer anything. Except maybe he shouldn't be talking to our recruits.
February 8th, 2015 at 7:07 PM ^
I really hope he won't be talking to our recruits at 1AM of NSD, but then again we aren't OSU.

We are not them on so many levels.

to both. With all the references around here, that one isn't common.

Wouldn't be surprised if he bounced. Probably wants experience working here than for some lowly NFL team. That way he can bounce back to a more reputable team next year with a Harbaugh rec
February 8th, 2015 at 7:17 PM ^
Harbaugh is so competitive that he even the coaches have to over their shoulderd.
February 8th, 2015 at 7:20 PM ^
He just wants competiton at all positions.

1. I don't follow your logic. You are asking if Jedd Fisch is making less because he will likely jump to the NFL next year? How does that make sense?
2. You upvoted your own post. Just awful. [And yes, I had to look to see who on earth would upvote this post.]
February 8th, 2015 at 7:31 PM ^
1. Yes, that was my question, as I didn't understand why a former NFL OC would be one of the lowest earners with the shortest contract. It didn't make sense, so I asked.
2.Yes, I didn't know that's unacceptable here. Apologies. Have an upvote from me.

Upvoting your own thread is like high-fiving yourself.

Understood. Won't happen again.

What would downvoting your own thread be like?

I've always wondered how people can tell if you upvote your own post.
Pease explain how so I can audit other people's voting habits too.
Thanks

I believe you can only see voting for the thread itself, but not any of the comments posted below.
February 9th, 2015 at 10:30 AM ^
And an upvote for you!

Jed Fisch's goal is to be a head coach. I am guessing he approached Harbaugh for the position and was willing to take a short term deal for less money in order to learn from the best. He was the only new coach that had not worked with Harbaugh before.
If he is successful/a good fit, I imagine he will receive a nice extension.

Mike Zordich played for John Harbaugh. John recommended Zordich to Jim.

...in the event anyone is interested (from Wikipedia). Seems like he jumps around quite a bit, which a fair number of coaches with similar resumes (and higher aspirations) do:
P. K. Yonge Developmental Research School (DC) (1997)
New Jersey Red Dogs (WR/QC) (1998)
Florida (GA) (1999–2000)
Houston Texans (DQC) (2001–2003)
Baltimore Ravens (AQB/AWR) (2004–2007)
Denver Broncos (WR) (2008)
Minnesota (OC/QB) (2009)
Seattle Seahawks (QB) (2010)
Miami (FL) (OC/QB) (2011–2012)
Jacksonville Jaguars (OC) (2013–2014)
Michigan (QB/WR/PGC) (2015–present)

Is there a known connection to Jedd's jump from OC/PC in the NFL to this job specifically? I've wondered this since the hire. Because of the jumps, I don't expect him to be around long, but am more curious about the jump from the NFL to UM with no prior ties etc. Perhaps I am missing some tie he has to someone on the current staff.
