The University of Washington is one of college football’s more prominent schools, even though it has a lack of national championships, and it is coming off a one-point loss in the Sun Bowl to the University of Louisville.
It has a promising quarterback in Demond Williams Jr., who is entering his sophomore season and threw for 374 yards and four touchdowns while completing 26 of 32 pass attempts in the Sun Bowl.
Washington has reportedly hired J.P. Losman, a former first-round pick in the 2004 NFL Draft, to be its assistant quarterbacks coach, per Pete Thamel.

Losman was drafted by the Buffalo Bills and spent his first five seasons with them, where he started 33 of 42 games, and his best season came in 2006 when he threw for 3,051 yards and 19 touchdowns in 16 starts.
He was supposed to become their heir apparent to Drew Bledsoe, but it didn’t quite work out for him, and he spent part of the 2009 season with the first iteration of the United Football League.
In 2010, he was a third-string quarterback with the Seattle Seahawks, and his quarterbacks coach there was Jedd Fisch, who is now the head coach at Washington.
Losman finished his NFL playing career in 2011 as a member of the Miami Dolphins, and he later started his coaching career as a volunteer coach at New Canaan High School in Connecticut.
He then became a coaching intern and later an offensive coach at Clemson University, and in 2022, the University of Oklahoma hired him to be a player personnel and football administration assistant.
