UCLA Football: Athletic Director Reportedly Makes Strong Statement About New HC

When athletic director Martin Jarmond opted to hire DeShaun Foster as the UCLA Bruins football coach, more than a few eyebrows were raised.

Foster had no head coaching experience prior to landing the gig. The thought of reversing the fortunes of this program was also daunting. Objectively speaking, Chip Kelly cratered the program -- and robbed any joy it once had. Suffice it to say, but Foster has his work cut out for himself. On Saturday, UCLA held its Spring Showcase. The team was having somewhat of a scripted game out at the Rose Bowl with reportedly close to 20,000 in attendance. Lunch was served inside one of the major donor tents. With the media included, Gavin Carlson of:"There is a different vibe and energy, and we're going to ride that wave... Brand new staff, brand new head coach, it's not always going to be perfect... I couldn't be more proud of DeShaun Foster...

The staff he's put together is approaching this job with tons of energy and effort. This extends to community outreach, the fan base, and also in regards to recruiting.Instead of going through the motions, or operating with unnecessary secrecy, the program has been made accessible to everyone. This also includes ex-players who are welcomed back with open arms.

Plenty of work has to be done to make UCLA a bowl team this year. Adding players through the portal will be key. With that said, things seem to be trending upward in Westwood.
