Episode 206: They got the ring San Jose Football team! Coach Fred Guidici

Episode 206: They got the ring San Jose Football team! Coach Fred Guidici


EMAIL
fred.guidici@sjsu.edu

Fred Guidici returned to San Jose State University in February 2017 as the Spartans’ first quality control coach. He was named the Spartans' special teams coordinator again in February 2018. Guidici is in his second tenure as a San Jose State assistant football coach and his fifth season on the coaching staff.
His first coaching stint with the Spartans covered 2012 through 2014 seasons. San José State enjoyed a variety of special teams successes.? He was the special teams coordinator all three seasons and coached the running backs in 2012 when the Spartans won the Military Bowl and finished 21st in the final Associated Press national poll.
The 2013 Spartans were the co-national leader for blocking seven opponent's kick-scoring tries. Three of them came in the San Diego State game alone. For the first time in school history, the Spartans recorded back-to-back seasons of at least 100 kick-scoring points with a single-season team record 108 in 2012 and 105 in 2013. Punter Harrison? Waid and placekicker Austin Lopez finished their careers as the University's leaders in yards per punt and kick scoring points, respectively. The 2012 San José State team successfully executed its first onside kick attempt in two years which resulted in a touchdown in the school's 62-52 victory over #16-Fresno State. The win was the Spartans' first over a top-20 ranked opponent since the 2000 season.

Guidici joined the San José State University staff in March 2012 as the special teams coordinator and running backs coach. That year, the Spartans set a single-season school record for kick-scoring points, produced the program's highest percentage of field goals made in a season, scored points on punt defense, and tied the San José State season record for kickoffs returned for a touchdown.
As the 2012 running backs coach, he coached De'Leon Eskridge, the Spartans' first 1,000-yard rusher in six seasons, and Tyler Ervin, who would set the single-season school record for rushing yards in 2015. Ervin was a rookie with the NFL’s Houston Texans in 2016.
During the 2015 and 2016 fall seasons, Guidici was the special teams coordinator at the College of San Mateo. The Bulldogs won the 2016 Bay 6 Conference championship and were in the Northern California community college playoffs both seasons.

A long-time Bay Area resident, Guidici spent 16 seasons at Menlo College in nearby Atherton, Calif., with three seasons as the Oaks' head coach. The 2011 Menlo squad was the school's first in eight years to post a .500 or better win-loss record.

The 1989 San José State graduate has more than 25 years of professional and college coaching experience.? He coached at Santa Clara University for three seasons (1990-92), Stanford University for two seasons (1993-94), Menlo College (1996-2011), and College of San Mateo (2015-16). Guidici worked with Pro Football Hall of Fame and Super Bowl-winning coach Bill Walsh (1931-2007) at Stanford as a defensive assistant coach.

Guidici spent the 1995 season with the Oakland Raiders as the defensive quality control coach. He moved on to the San José SaberCats of the Arena Football League in 1996 and coached the team's offensive and defensive lines and assisted with special teams coaching in his first three ARENA League seasons. Guidici returned to the Arena Football League’s San Jose team as an assistant coach for the 2015 season. The SaberCats posted a 20-1 record and won the Arena Bowl – the league’s equivalent to the Super Bowl.
He and his wife, Becca, reside in San José.

Bonus episode: The start of something big, part 1. Coach Jason Mai

Bonus episode: The start of something big, part 1. Coach Jason Mai

Since starting his coaching career 14 years ago, Jason Mai has established a reputation as one of the brightest young offensive minds in the game.

Mai spent last season at Hampton, working under Connell Maynor, and the previous season he was the quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator at St. Augustine.

Before going to St. Augustine, Mai spent five seasons as the quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator at Winston-Salem State, where he helped develop one of the top offensive units in Division II football. While at Winston-Salem State, Mai was part of a program that amassed a 51-11 overall record and reached the 2012 Division II national championship game.

During his tenure at Winston-Salem State, Mai coached 18 all-CIAA players and developed 2 All-American quarterbacks. He also was part of a team that led the CIAA in total offense five times and was in the top 10 nationally three times.

Mai spent four seasons as the offensive line coach at Virginia Union from 2008-2011. During that tenure, he helped develop an offense that averaged 24.6 points per game while averaging 312.2 yards and 158.3 rushing yards per game.

Before going to Virginia Union, Mai spent two seasons as quarterbacks coach at Johnson C. Smith University where he was a part of a team that logged the best single-season turnaround in the NCAA and he mentored the school's all-time leading passer.

Episode 202: The Saga, Irvtown part 4. Coach Bob Spain

This is the final of the Irvtown series, The Saga with Coach Bob Spain. Coach Spain is an Irvington alumnus and he came back to give his school the opportunity to be successful! Before he left to move on to bigger and better, he reached that goal. Taking the 2005 varsity football to the 3A championships and almost repeating that in 2006. 

"After starting off its season with three consecutive losses, Irvington football turned heads by beating Washington High School at its homecoming game. When the team broke James Logan High School’s 40-game Mission Valley Athletic League winning streak, Irvington knew it was in for a special season."
