Washington hires Jedd Fisch away from Arizona to be coach

Jedd Fisch will be the next football coach at Washington, the school announced on Sunday.

Washington athletic director Troy Dannen engaged Fisch in a second round of interviews this weekend, and narrowed in on the former Arizona coach as the choice, sources said. He was the only candidate to emerge for a second interview after an initial round of candidate calls in the wake of Kalen DeBoer's exit for Alabama.

Sources told ESPN that Arizona held a 6 p.m. ET staff meeting and a 6:30 p.m. team meeting, where Fisch announced his departure to Washington.
