San Jose, CA (Sports Network) - Ron Caragher has been named the new head
football coach at San Jose State, the school announced Monday.
Caragher takes over for Mike MacIntyre, who left to take the Colorado job last
week.
Caragher comes to San Jose State after spending the last six years as the head
coach of the University of San Diego. The Toreros compiled a 44-22 record and
were the 2007, 2011 and 2012 Pioneer Football League co-champions under
Caragher.
"I'm very excited about the opportunity to lead the San Jose State football
program. Having grown up in the San Jose area, I understand the rich tradition
of Spartan Football - it's lineage of great coaches, terrific teams, and
outstanding players," Caragher said in a release.
"I very much look forward to getting to know the young men in the program and
building upon the success of this most recent and outstanding 2012 season. San
Jose State football is on the rise with its top-25 ranking. I am excited about
our entrance into the Mountain West Conference and look forward to leading the
charge."
