Report: B.C. Lions hire Jeff Tedford as head coach

The B.C. Lions have agreed to a deal to make Jeff Tedford their new head coach, according to Mike Garafolo of FOX Sports. 

Most recently, Tedford was the offensive coordinator for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but after taking a leave of absence for health reasons, he was relieved of his duties to pursue other opportunities. 

Tedford rose to fame at the University of California, where he coached from 2002 to 2012 and had the privilege of mentoring Aaron Rodgers.
