Jeff Tedford should be Jim Bartko’s first call when Fresno State’s athletic director begins the search to find the Bulldogs’ next head football coach.
Tedford just can’t be the only call. The university deserves better. The program deserves better. Fans deserve better.
Certainly I’m not saying Tedford would be a poor choice to replace Tim DeRuyter, who was jettisoned Sunday after the Bulldogs stooped to 1-7. I’m not saying that at all. That’s why the former Fresno State quarterback and offensive coordinator was No. 2 on my list from last Friday (how prescient) of potential candidates.
