After starting strong in his first two seasons at Fresno State, head coach Tim DeRuyter has gone 9-17 the last two seasons. His initial success earned him a chance to reset his staff after going 3-9 in 2015 (instead of earning the ziggy), starting with replacing both coordinators. Defensive coordinator Nick Toth was demoted to inside linebackers coach, with former South Carolina defensive coordinator Lorenzo Ward taking over as coordinator. Offensive coordinator Dave Schramm (a graduate assistant under Tom Osborne in 1989) has been replaced by former Cal and Kansas assistant Eric Kiesau.
Kiesau. That name rung a bell.
