"Tom Craft" is the head football coach at Riverside Community College in Riverside, California/Riverside, CA, and was the head football coach at San Diego State University/San Diego State University (SDSU) from 2002-2005 and at Palomar College in San Marcos, California/San Marcos, CA from 1983-2000. Craft has also been the associate head coach and offensive coordinator at Mount San Antonio College in Walnut, California/Walnut, CA.

Under his tenure, SDSU developed a reputation of playing the tough teams well but lacked consistency and never had a winning season. In 2004, SDSU lost to Michigan 24-21, and in 2005, where it pushed Ohio State at home, and lost 24-21 to Texas Christian University. SDSU fired Craft at the end of the 2005 season.

Craft is a graduate of Pacific Grove High School, in Pacific Grove, California, and thereafter played quarterback at SDSU.

He's only been a starter at this level for (six games) and he's going to go through some learning experiences in the coming weeks. Outside of the two interceptions, I thought he had an outstanding game.

They're both going to play on each side. It's not that big of a deal.

I thought we were a little hesitant (on defense) through the whole first half. Considering the poor field position we had, I thought we did a little better job in the second half. (But) we need to communicate better, too.
