Did the Arizona Wildcats’ Jedd Fisch deserve to win Pac-12 Football Coach of the Year? Some people think he was ‘robbed’ for the award.
The Pac-12 announced its awards for the 2023 college football season Tuesday and some people are not happy with the conference’s choice for Pac-12 Football Coach of the Year.
The award went to Washington’s Kalen DeBoer, who coached the Huskies to a perfect 13-0 record, Pac-12 Championship and College Football Playoff berth.
But some people thought that Arizona’s Jedd Fisch, who has engineered an impressive turnaround in Tucson, should have been the winner of the award given to the conference’s top coach.
Fisch’s Wildcats went 9-3 this season. They were 1-11 in his first season in 2021 and 5-7 in his second season in 2022.
DeBoer also won the award last season when he guided Washington to an 11-2 record.

Some made their case for Jedd Fisch to win Pac-12 Coach of the Year:
The only important question is! Could Deboer take an Arizona team three years ago with mostly division II talent and turn it into a 9-3 team this year? Because I know without a doubt Fisch could take the already loaded Washington Roster and most likely win out.

The only argument against it is UW was supposed to be…
