Michigan football Week 1 opponent Fresno State loses head coach

In just a month and a half, Michigan football will take the field for the first time in defense of its national championship. However, the opposing team will not have its legendary head coach roaming its sideline.

Jeff Tedford has long been known as an offensive guru dating back to his days as the Oregon offensive coordinator starting in 1998. He was then the head coach of Cal before becoming the offensive coordinator for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for one year. After bouncing around in the CFL and becoming an analyst for Washington, Tedford eventually became the head coach of Fresno State in 2017. But due to health issues, Tedford announced he’s stepping down from being the Bulldogs’ head coach, effective immediately.

It’s unclear as of this writing as to who will take over for Tedford and if they will change any of the philosophies of Fresno State.

Michigan is still slated to face off against the Bulldogs at night on August 31.
