Jeff SilveiraThe official CSUB wrestling website does not have an official announcement regarding Silveira's promotion, other than to include his new title and revised opening paragraph mentioning his new position as part of his coach's biography.
Silveira has more than two decades of coaching experience at both the collegiate and high school levels. He joined the CSU Bakersfield staff as an assistant, having previously served in the same capacity at San Francisco State from 2009-14. During his stint with the Gators, Silveira coached one Division II national champion, seven Division II All-Americans, 20 Division II National Championship Tournament qualifiers, and helped San Francisco State finish in the top 10 of the 2013 Division II National Tournament.
From 2005-07, Silveira was an assistant wrestling coach at West Valley College before moving to Skyline College for the 2007-08 season. At the community college level, Silveira coached 27 individual state qualifiers, nine individual state placewinners, four individual CCCAA (California Community College Athletic Association) All-Americans, and one individual state champion.
Silveira coached at Saint Teresa High School from 1995-2003 and at The Kings Academy High School from 2004-05. At the prep level, Silveira coached 11 individual league champions, 16 individual section placers, 13 individual state qualifiers, four individual state placewinners, and two individual high school All-Americans.
Prior to accepting the head coaching job at Boise State, Mendoza headed up the CSUB program in June 2010 after the retirement of T.J. Kerr. Mendoza, who wrestled for Kerr and served as an assistant coach prior to his promotion, posted a 37-37 dual record as the Roadrunners head coach, mentoring four Pac-12 champions, 14 NCAA National qualifiers and one NCAA All-American (Bryce Hammond, 2014).
