11/29/18 v2.0 update -- Several coaches added, a couple removed, and notes added on a few candidates from v1.0
Jeff Tedford - Fresno State Head Coach
Who is he? The 57-year-old has led Fresno to a couple of strong seasons in his two years as their coach. Tedford, who is a Lynwood, California native, was an offensive coach for Fresno in the mid-90s, coached at Oregon as an OC/QB coach from '98-'01, and was Cal's head coach from '02-'12. He won a conference title in 2006 at Cal and posted an 82-57 record with the Bears. He is 6-3 in bowl games.
Why him? He's on basically everyone's early list for Colorado. He has a wealth of head coaching experience and just wins wherever he goes. He's not a sexy hire, but he'd be a safe one for the Buffaloes. ESPN's Adam Rittenberg reports that Colorado AD Rick George "wants a recognizable name with previous head-coaching experience" and Tedford fits that description. Tedford is an underrated offensive mind and would be a solid land for Colorado.
