Fresno State football coach Jeff Tedford is stepping down from the job after three seasons at his alma mater.
The Bulldogs slumped to a 4-8 finish this year, losing their final four games.
Tedford began his head coaching career at California. He led the Golden Bears to an 82-57 record and eight bowl bids in 11 seasons at Cal.
He helped tutor future first-round quarterbacks Aaron Rodgers and Kyle Boller during his tenure and got Cal as high as No. 4 in the rankings in 2004 but never made the Rose Bowl.
After being fired from Cal following the 2012 season, Tedford took a job as offensive coordinator in the NFL with Tampa Bay in 2014. He stepped down from that job in the preseason with heart problems.
He coached in the CFL and then spent one season as a consultant at Washington before getting a second chance as a college head coach at Fresno State.
