“If you don’t set goals, what are you going to achieve?” Washington Huskies head coach Jedd Fisch said at a luncheon with members of the media on Wednesday.
From calling on all the Fortune 500 companies in the area from Starbucks, to Costco, REI, and more, Fisch stablished some very high goals for himself and his coaching staff, which starts with investing in NIL.
“Raising NIL money is the first part of our business plan,” he said. “With the way things are heading right now in college football, you need incredible donor support. Being able to take care of kids in college football is critical, that hasn’t changed.”
One of the first goals he set after arriving in Seattle was on the recruiting trail, as he wants the 2025 class to be the best in school history. While working to achieve that goal, he set another which could help entice high school prospects, by improving some of Washington’s facilities by adding an extra focus on player care.
“We want to have the best weight room we can have, the best strength and conditioning coaches, the best training room,” he said. “We want to have state of the art technology and science when it comes to taking care of players. We want to invest every part of our program into the players.”
Finally, he also wants a chance to show the UW fanbase what he and his coaching staff has to offer at the team’s annual spring game, which he dubbed “Dawgs after Dark.” Traditionally a sparsely attended event, Washington’s head coach said he wants to set a new record during the spring game on May 3.
“They tell me we’ve never had more than 30,000 people here for the spring game, so we’re hoping to get 40,000,” Fisch said.
With more resources than what was ever available to him at Arizona, Fisch might have a shot at achieving some of these goals.
