Fresno State Bulldogs head coach Jeff Tedford has had his fair share of health concerns over the years. That included a heart procedure back in 2014 when he was a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers coaching staff.
Tedford also resigned as Fresno State’s head coach back in 2019 due to health concerns, only to be rehired in December of 2021.
Unfortunately, these health issues have forced Tedford to step away from his role as Fresno State’s head coach once again.
