Jedd Fisch (born May 5, 1976) is an American football coach. He is currently the offensive coordinator of the UCLA Bruins football team. He was formerly the University of Michigan Wolverines football quarterbacks coach, wide receivers coach, and passing game coordinator under Jim Harbaugh from 2015 to 2016. Fisch has served several stints as an assistant coach in both the professional (NFL) and collegiate (NCAA) ranks.
Fisch grew up in East Hanover Township, New Jersey and attended Hanover Park High School. Notably, Fisch did not play football at the high school or college level, but instead was an all-state tennis player during his prep career.
Fisch graduated from the University of Florida in 1998 with a degree in criminology. He attended Florida almost solely for the opportunity to someday work for Florida head coach Steve Spurrier.
Fisch was also college roommates with Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman.
Fisch embarked on a career in coaching while still in college as an undergraduate student. From 1997-98, Fisch was the defensive coordinator for P. K. Yonge Developmental Research School in Gainesville, and he then spent one year (1998) with the New Jersey Red Dogs of the Arena Football League as a wide receivers/quality control coach.
