UCLA fired football coach DeShaun Foster after he started his second season at the helm 0-3, the school announced Sunday.
An impressive class in the transfer portal, including the addition of former Tennessee quarterback Nico Iamaleava, seemed like a solid foundation for Year 2 under Foster, who rallied the Bruins to win four of their last six games to end the 2024 season.
But this season couldn’t have started off any worse. In the Rose Bowl on opening night, the Bruins fell to Utah 43-10. A week later at UNLV, they stumbled again, dropping a 30-23 decision. But those losses were just lead-ins to a puzzling 35-10 defeat at the hands of New Mexico in Week 3 at the Rose Bowl.
The Bruins, through three weeks, did not top 23 points in any game, and had allowed at least 30 in all three losses.
Foster had a 5-10 record in the 15 games he coached for the Bruins.
