Former Santa Rita High School defensive backΒ Ron GouldΒ was fired last week after four years as head football coach at UC Davis. The Aggies went 12-33 during Gould’s four seasons. They went 5-7 overall and 5-3 in the Big Sky Conference in his first season, then tailed off to 2-9, 2-9 and 3-8. Gould, 51, is due to make a base salary of $235,000 in 2017. It wouldn’t be much of a surprise if Gould winds up onΒ Jeff Tedford’s new staff at Fresno State; Gould worked under Tedford for eight years at Cal.Β
