Arizona has hired UCLA wide receivers coach Jimmie Dougherty as its passing game coordinator and quarterbacks coach, the school announced Monday, reuniting Dougherty with new Wildcats coach Jedd Fisch.
Fisch and Dougherty previously worked together at UCLA in 2017, when Fisch was the Bruins’ offensive coordinator, and at Michigan in 2016, when Dougherty was an offensive analyst and Fisch filled a variety of roles as an offensive assistant under coach Jim Harbaugh.
Dougherty had spent the last four seasons with the Bruins, coaching four receivers who rank among the school’s all-time single-season leaders in Kyle Philips, Jordan Lasley, Darren Andrews and Theo Howard.
