Ronald Allen Caragher (born January 24, 1967) is an American college football coach. He has been the head coach at the University of San Diego and San Jose State. Originally from Morgan Hill, California, Caragher played college football at UCLA and later became an assistant coach for UCLA football, first as a graduate assistant from 1994 to 1995, then as wide receivers coach from 1996 to 2002. From 2003 to 2006, Caragher served as running backs coach for Kentucky and was part of the 2006 Music City Bowl championship coaching staff.
Caragher first became a head coach at the University of San Diego in 2007 and remained in that position until 2012. During his tenure there, San Diego won three Pioneer Football League championships. After SJSU head coach Mike MacIntyre departed for the University of Colorado following the 2012 regular season, San Jose State hired Caragher to be head coach beginning with the 2013 season.
Born in Redwood City, California and raised in Morgan Hill, Caragher graduated from Bellarmine College Prep of San Jose in 1985 and lettered in three sports there.
Caragher received an athletic scholarship to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in 1985. At UCLA, Caragher redshirted his freshman year, then was backup quarterback from 1986 to 1989, including two seasons behind Troy Aikman. Caragher was part of the UCLA teams that won the 1986 Freedom Bowl, 1987 Aloha Bowl, and 1989 Cotton Bowl Classic.
