    by By Ben Bolch, Los Angeles Times Sep 01, 2017 5 minutes

    The job as equipment manager didn't come through. Neither did a position as a student assistant. Failing to land another spot as a recruiting intern could have made Jedd Fisch feel like he had struck out in his attempts to gain an entry-level position in Florida's football offices.

    Fisch started sticking notes under the windshield wiper of Spurrier's blue Buick. Lots of notes.
