Report: Ex-Fresno State coach Tim DeRuyter to join Cal as defensive coordinator

Former Fresno State head football coach Tim DeRuyter will become Cal’s new defensive coordinator, according to a published report.

Fox Sports college football insider Bruce Feldman reported Monday afternoon on Twitter that DeRuyter, who compiled a 30-30 record in four-plus seasons with the Bulldogs, was expected to join new Bears head coach Justin Wilcox in Berkeley.

DeRuyter did not immediately return a text message seeking confirmation.

After going 20-6 with two Mountain West titles during his first two seasons at Fresno State, DeRuyter slid to 10-24 over the next three. He was fired Oct.
