UCLA Football: Raiders Set To Poach Bruins Associate Head Coach
The UCLA Bruins might have a much different staff heading into the 2024 season. There have been plenty of rumors surrounding head coach Chip Kelly heading back to the NFL. He interviewed with the Las Vegas Raiders and is a candidate for the Washington Commanders OC position.
The Raiders appear to be bringing in high-level college coach talent, and that started with the team bringing in USC Trojan's QB coach Kliff Kingsbury, also a former NFL coach. Now, the team has announced they are hiring UCLA's assistant head coach.
Former NFL running back and UCLA Bruins assistant head coach DeShaun Foster is now heading to the Raiders. He will become the team's running back coach.
Foster became a coach in 2012 as an undergraduate assistant for UCLA. After working his way through the college system as a running backs coach for Texas Tech and UCLA, he will now move to the NFL.
The Bruins have had many moving parts in their coaching staff, which started when USC hired Bruins defensive coordinator D'Anton Lynn. The proverbial dominos appear to be falling on Kelly's staff, and he might also be heading to a new team.
UCLA is set to enter the Big Ten conference in 2024, and they may be doing so with a brand-new coaching staff.
