Tedford is a hot name in coaching carousel. Here’s how Fresno State ensures he stays

The more success Fresno State enjoys under Jeff Tedford, the harder schools with deeper pockets and more resources will try to lure him away.

That’s not just my opinion. It’s one of college football’s inescapable truths.

Last year, when the Bulldogs went from 1-11 to 10-4 in Tedford’s first season as head coach, Oregon State was the primary suitor. This year, with Fresno State proving that turnaround was no one-off, Tedford’s name is reportedly on the “short list” for the opening at Colorado.

Get used to it. With the Bulldogs’ rapid success building upon his track record at Cal, Tedford is a natural name for the annual coaching carousel.
