Jeff Tedford
Jeffrey R. "Jeff" Tedford (born November 2, 1961) is an American football coach and the former head coach of the California Golden Bears football team. He was twice named Pac-10 Coach of the Year, and holds Cal records for most wins, games coached, and bowl game victories.
Tedford played college football for the Fresno State Bulldogs before playing professionally at quarterback in the Canadian Football League (CFL). In his first head coaching position, Tedford inherited a Cal team that had won only one game in its 2001 season. He was named conference coach of the year in his first season in 2002 after winning seven games. Cal was ranked No. 2 nationwide midseason in 2007, the school's highest ranking since 1951. However, Tedford's teams struggled later in his Cal tenure, particularly in 2010–2012, and he was fired after the 2012 season. He was the highest paid state employee of California as of 2011.
