Health issues force Jeff Tedford to exit as Fresno State football coach

Fresno State will be led by a different head coach in 2024. Jeff Tedford told the Bulldogs on Monday that he is leaving his job as head coach due to health concerns.

Tedford, 62, was 44-22 at Fresno State. In five seasons as the head coach, Tedford led Fresno State to three West Division titles, two Mountain West Championship wins, four Bowl Game victories, and two Top 25 finishes to cap a season.

“Coach Tedford’s contributions to Fresno State and the Central Valley have been nothing short of extraordinary,” says Director of Athletics Garrett Klassy. “His dedication, passion, and commitment have not only led our football program to numerous championships but also deeply impacted the community. Our goal during this coaching transition is to ensure it is as seamless as possible for our student-athletes, and to continue the championship culture that Coach Tedford has established. We are grateful for his endless contributions, wish him the best with his health, and I expect to lean on Coach Tedford during my transition due to his incredible insight and relationships.”

Tim Skipper has been named interim coach.
