The summer normally isn’t a time for coaching turnover in college football, but the Fresno State Bulldogs are dealing with change after head coach Jeff Tedford stepped down for health reasons on July 15. The Bulldogs won’t make any permanent plans until after the season. In the meantime, veteran assistant Tim Skipper will serve as Fresno State football head coach in an interim capacity. A solid campaign under Skipper could lead to him landing the job on a full-time basis. However, with new athletics director Garrett Klassy introduced in late June, there’s a chance he will go a different route after this season.

Top Fresno State coach candidates
One name the BarkBoard staff has identified as a potential target if Skipper doesn’t keep the job long term is Arizona State offensive coordinator Marcus Arroyo. He has deep ties to Tedford, having worked under him at several stops.
Arroyo finally landed a head-coaching gig at UNLV in 2020, but finished with just a 7-23 overall record. However, UNLV’s record improved each year he was there and he is credited with raising the talent level there as UNLV went on to split the Mountain West title in 2023. Arroyo can raise his stock with a successful season for ASU’s offense to the point he could be in the mix at Fresno State following the 2024 campaign. See more candidates at BarkBoard.
