Social media slams Jedd Fisch's Pac-12 Football Coach of the Year award snub: 'Ridiculous'

The Pac-12 announced its awards for the 2023 college football season Tuesday, as voted by the coaches, and some people are not happy with the 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.

Who should have won the award?

No matter your opinion, there is no arguing that both coaches had tremendous seasons.

Both were also among the 12 finalists named for Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year.

Could Fisch end up winning that award?
