Early coaching careerAfter retiring as a player, Tedford became a volunteer assistant coach at Fresno State (1987–1988) under his former coach Jim Sweeney. He then coached as an offensive assistant for the Calgary Stampeders in the CFL (1989–1991); returned to Fresno State as quarterback coach (1992); was promoted to offensive coordinator at Fresno State (1993–1997); and worked as offensive coordinator at the University of Oregon (1998–2001). During his time at Oregon, the Ducks notched a Pac-10-best record of 38–10 while finishing progressively better each year (8–4 in 1998, 9–3 in 1999, 10–2 in 2000 and 11–1 in 2001).[5]While at Fresno State, he was instrumental in developing many players whom went onto the NFL: QB Trent Dilfer (1992-1993), QB Billy Volek (1997), RB Ron Rivers (1993), RB Reggie Brown (1994-1995), RB Michael Pittman (1993-1997), and WR Charlie Jones (1993-1995).CalAfter previous Cal coach Tom Holmoe resigned from his post amid a 1–10 season in 2001, worst in Cal's history, then athletic director Steve Gladstone hired Tedford to become Cal's 32nd head football coach. Tedford inherited a program that had not had a winning season since 1993 and had only won 29 games on the field since then, including only 18 wins in Pac-10 play.During his time at Cal, Tedford has become known for his work ethic, often working late hours in his office and sleeping on an air mattress.[6] In evidence of his turnaround of the Cal program, season ticket sales jumped from 16,200 in 2002 to 41,336 in 2007, setting new records each year from 2004 through 2007.[7]In Tedford's first season (2002), he led the Golden Bears to a 7–5 record, their first winning football season since 1993, the nation's biggest turnaround of the year, and was named Pac-10 coach of the year. The Bears ended a 19-game losing streak to Washington and a seven-game losing streak to arch rival Stanford in the Big Game. Despite their resurgence, the Bears didn't go to a bowl due to NCAA sanctions for academic fraud that were handed down shortly before Tedford took over.[8] After the season, Tedford signed a five-year contract through 2007 to replace his original four-year contract, which ran through 2005.[9]In the 2003 season, Tedford's record of 8–6 included the upset of eventual national co-champion University of Southern California in triple overtime, as well as a 52–49 shootout victory against Virginia Tech in the 2003 Insight Bowl. The Bears won 5 of their last 6 games.Tedford accepts the 2006 Holiday Bowl trophyIn the 2004 football season, the Bears finished with a No. 9 national ranking in both the AP Poll and the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll with a 10–2 record, losing to Texas Tech in the Holiday Bowl. Tedford was named Pac-10 coach of the year for a second time. The team was undefeated at home, notched the fifth 10-win season in school history (and first since 1949). Since Pac-10 champion USC had earned a berth in the BCS national title game, it initially looked like the Bears, as runners-up, had the inside track to the Pac-10's berth in the Rose Bowl—which would have been their first appearance in that game since 1960. However, after a less than impressive 26–16 victory over 24-point underdog Southern Miss,[10] Texas received enough votes to edge past Cal in the final BCS standings, giving them a berth in the Rose Bowl.Following the regular season, Tedford signed an extension of his contract through 2009, which nearly doubled his base salary to $1.5 million per year; in the deal he also had the pay of his assistant coaches raised significantly.[11]Tedford (center) at the 2008 Big GameIn 2005, the Bears finished with a No. 25 national ranking in both the AP Poll and the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll with an 8–4 record. Cal rose as high as No. 10 in the AP Poll and No. 9 in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll in week 6 before losing to UCLA 47–40. They beat BYU in the Las Vegas Bowl, 35–28.In 2006, the Bears recorded an eight-game win-streak, including five straight games scoring 40 or more points, rising as high as No. 8 in the AP poll, and remaining undefeated at home. The Bears finished the season with a 45–10 Holiday Bowl victory over Texas A&M, a No. 14 ranking, and an overall 10–3 record. The Bears were also co-champions of the Pac-10 for the first time since 1975. Following the season, Tedford signed a contract extension through 2013, which raised his base salary to $1.8 million per year and included significant performance and retention bonuses.[12]The 2007 campaign saw the Bears jump out to a 5–0 start and a No. 2 national ranking, Cal's highest since 1951.[13] Set to move to No. 1 after LSU lost, Cal instead lost when freshman quarterback Kevin Riley—playing for the injured Nate Longshore—failed to get out of bounds for a game-tying field goal and time expired in a 31–28 home loss to Oregon State.[14] This began a streak of losses in six of the seven final regular season games, including Tedford's first losses as head coach to Washin...

Again, there are only 32 starting NFL QBs and only roughly 20 of them are any good. The good QBs play for 15 years. How many good QBs do you expect to come from one college out of 120 D-1 schools that is not a recruiting power?

then why list his past QB students like they are something to gush over? what are the overall stats on his offence? when you apply for a job do you front load your resume with information that is not relevant to the job you are applying for? even worse, information that is not even impressive?

No worries, it was a good catch on your part.I just hope that this time around the Bucs hire a guy who will be here for the next 10 years. I don't just want an improvement from last years staff, i want a HC and coaching staff that other teams try to mimic and in turn try to pilfer along the way. That means they are doing something right. You never hear that other teams are looking to interview coaches on the Bucs staff for step up positions. The last publicized hiring of a ex-Buc coach i can think of was Morris who went from HC to DB coach. When your ex-HC can only manage to find work as a position coach on a bad team, that is sad.
