To have any chance of avoiding a third straight losing season in 2016, Fresno State must hit the bull’s-eye with this offensive coordinator hire.
However, that’s still only a short-term stopgap for a program with deep-seated issues.
From what I’ve been told by multiple sources, Fresno State began its search for a new offensive playcaller this week by contacting two familiar names: Dennis Erickson and Jeff Tedford.
While it’s doubtful either one will end up in a job both previously held (Erickson was the Bulldogs’ offensive coordinator from 1976-87 under Jim Sweeney; Tedford from 1993-97 under Sweeney and Pat Hill), I understand – and agree with – the logic.
