FootballHOF =Jeff Tisdel is a football coach. He has achieved some notable success in each level of coaching he has engaged in, but is primarily known for his success at the junior college level. Noteworthy accomplishments include coaching the Nevada team in its first
NCAA Division I-A bowl victory in the1996 Las Vegas Bowl againstBall State and, between 2002-2005, leadingSierra College 's football team to a nation-leading 37 game winning streak. Jeff was also the firstquarterback for Nevada to play in Division I-AA and also the first quarterback to play forChris Ault , who would become an eventual member of theCollege Football Hall of Fame in 2002. After taking the 2006-07 season off, Tisdel has returned to coaching his Sierra College team, which, as of November 1, 2007, was ranked second in Northern California.Junior College
Jeff Tisdel has experienced his greatest successes at the junior college level, especially at
Sierra College , where he brought a relative no-name program to national prominence at its level of competition by collecting three conference championships and, in his first year there, brought Sierra College to 2nd in theBay Valley Conference . He also had notable success in his first head coaching position atSacramento City College , where his teams won threeNorthern California Athletic League championships and where some players on his old teams still remain in the record books.NCAA Experience
Jeff Tisdel's brief foray into coaching at the NCAA I-A record is somewhat more mixed, however. After his first year coaching at Nevada, when his team won the
Big West Conference Championship and notched Nevada's first victory in an NCAA I-A bowl game, his teams were consistently mediocre until, in 1999, he coached Nevada to its worst record since 1975 at 3-8. In his defense, Nevada's schedule became progressively more difficult as his tenure went on. Also, his successor,Chris Tormey , coached Nevada to an even more futile 2-10 record the next year, the worst record sinceDick Trachok 's 1964 1-9 campaign.Coaching Record
