Pat Hill has been fired as head football coach at Fresno State University after 15 years. Here is an excuse to look at Fresno State's production over the last few seasons. I will start with the current season and move back to 2008.
As of last week, Fresno State was 4-9 against a strength of schedule of 65.46. The Bulldogs were the 115th most productive team in the nation (or 6th worst) overall with the 81st most productive offense and the second to last defense (119).
In 2010 Fresno State had both the 82nd most productive offense and defense, but was the #84th most productive team overall.
In 2009 Fresno State was the #37th most productive offense, the #95th most productive defense leading to the #68th most productive team for that year.
In 2008, Fresno State was the 54th most productive offense, the #96th most productive defense and the 96th most productive team overall.
As you can see, the last few years have been rather sub-par for Fresno State in terms of productivity.
