Jeff Tedford returns as head coach Fresno State

Fresno State head coach Jeff Tedford stepped down from his position due to health concerns in 2019.

There was no plan to return to Fresno State when he came out of retirement, but after former head coach Kalen DeBoer left to coach Washington, Tedford thought the timing aligned for him to come back as a Bulldog.

Fresno State Athletics announced on Wednesday that Tedford would return as head coach and re-introduced to the program in a press conference.

Tedford has suffered heart problems that have led to him stepping down a coaching position before, like at Cal in 2012.
