As Cal gets set to hire a new defensive coordinator, there are a host of names that might make their way into the mix. We don’t really have any idea as to WHO those names might be, but one of the more logical candidates is recently fired Fresno State coach Tim DeRuyter. Could he provide a quick fix to Cal’s defensive ailments?
Pedigree: DeRuyter has been the defensive coordinator at Ohio from 2002 to 2004, at Nevada from 2005 to 2006, at Air Force from 2007 to 2009, at Texas A&M from 2010 to 2011 before taking over the Fresno State coaching job.
