UCLA hires DeShaun Foster

He's been the RB coach there for the last several years. Apparently the players all pushed for this hard, and the AD gave in

I mean we are in the middle of February. They really didn’t have any other good options.

UCLA's back was against the wall. Might as well hire an alum who has already coached there 7+ years.

Foster was the best UCLA was going to do in the middle of February

I don't know anything about Foster, but I do know that the coach the players pressure administration to hire isn't usually the best option. He also doesn't seem to have even coordinator experience? Maybe UCLA literally could not do any better. That is not a good job and it's February.

This is interesting. Foster had recently left UCLA for an NFL job. This hire tells you that nobody with a proven resume wanted that job

Is he the full-time head coach or interim for this season?

Is ucla really that bad of a job?
If so what does that say about a school that gets turned down for an open HC in favor of the ucla HC job?

The old Mike Archer approach to hiring a coach.

makes me feel really old that he's 44 years old now and I still vividly remember him in college

They should've gone the elite, small school coach route, like a Troy Taylor, Chris Kleiman, etc.
At least hire a guy who knows how to run a program. Now they have hired a guy from the staff of the guy they wanted to fire. Genius!

Havent heard that name in a long time. I remember watching him play for them. Didn’t realize he was coaching.
