Not surprised by the hire but I think he'd be a mediocre one. Fisch has been an assistant during the most recent Pat's season where the QBs are near the bottom of the NFL in any stat + efficiency metric. On the other hand, he was an offensive assistant under McVay with the Rams for 2018-19.
His single 2017 season as UCLA's OC benefited from having Josh Rosen at QB, furthermore, that season was the only one he coached in the Pac-12 (Minnesota, Miami, and Michigan) being the other CFB spots.
I remember that Jedd Fisch game where he made Devon Modster pretty serviceable for one game against us and they eeked out a win that cost us bowl eligibility. There were Baldwin-OSU rumors that night too and was thinking Fisch might be a good replacement.
I'd say this is a competent hire. I know Belichick assistants flame out like a USC QB in the NFL, but if he's even a half-decent playcaller he can squeak out some upsets and get the program back to non-embarrassing levels.
There’s a Fisch and Chip joke here for when they play UCLA.

Great for us! Bad for Arizona!
CFB is a perfect 10 for 10 in hiring white head coaches during this cycle. This sport is getting harder and harder to watch.
