Fresno State will continue to invest in a football program that rediscovered solid footing under first-year coach Jeff Tedford and is the backbone of an athletic department becoming more dependent on the team’s success.
Steve Robertello, interim athletic director, said Friday that the department would proceed with plans to add a 10th on-field assistant and has had discussions about bumping up the salary pool for coordinators and position coaches, which this season ranks fourth in the Mountain West Conference.
Fresno State coach Jeff Tedford is expected to have a larger salary pool for his assistants, which could help maintain continuity on a staff that has put together one of the largest turnarounds in college football history.
