In the third -- and surely, hopefully final -- move of the day, San Jose State has fired head coach Ron Caragher, the program announced Sunday evening.
“I want to thank Coach Caragher for his hard work and commitment to San Jose State football these past four years,” SJSU AD Gene Bleymaier said in a statement. “A search for a new head coach will begin immediately.”
Hired away from the head coaching job at San Diego, Caragher completed four seasons in San Jose. He compiled a 19-30 record, peaking with a win in the Auto Nation Cure Bowl last season before sliding back to a 4-8 mark this year.
Bleymaier arrived to San Jose State from Boise State, so apples from the Chris Petersen/Bryan Harsin coaching tree are likely to be plucked here.
