Jeff Tedford was confirmed Thursday as the new football coach at Fresno State, with an introductory news conference scheduled for Friday.
“Jeff possesses all the qualities we were looking for in a head coach,” athletic director Jim Bartko said in a news release. “First and foremost, integrity, plus a great football mind and the ability to come in and hit the ground running. When you have the opportunity to hire someone who knows this Valley and is Bulldog Born, Bulldog Bred, there is not a better choice.”
Tedford, 55, had an 82-57 record at Cal from 2002-12.
