Potential targets to replace Jedd Fisch

Arizona Wildcats fans are feeling the aftershocks of losing head coach Jedd Fisch to a former conference rival, the Washington Huskies.

Who could Arizona pursue to replace Fisch as the next coach in Tucson?

Speculation immediately turned to potential candidates to become the Wildcats’ next coach, with some familiar names among the possible targets for Arizona’s coaching search.

Here are some possible candidates to succeed Fisch as the Arizona Wildcats football coach, in no particular order.
