For a while there, it looked as if Eric Kiesau’s first play-call as Fresno State offensive coordinator would be an audible.
As in, hitting the eject button.
Saturday afternoon, Kiesau sounded like a Bulldog through and through. After being introduced to the Red Wave at Save Mart Center, the 43-year-old coach met the local media and said all the right things.
Kiesau brought up Fresno State’s “tradition of winning” as one of the primary reasons he took the job. He spoke enthusiastically about the offensive staff he had “a big hand” in assembling. He zeroed-in on the Bulldogs’ lack of physicality in the run game and pledged to toughen it up.
