While the Illinois football team seems to be cruising right now, life comes at you fast if you are a UCLA fan.
When the Illini were a dumpster fire, the decision was made to hire Bret Bielema. He was a great find. The same can’t be said about the Bruins. They were looking for a great head coach, and the decision to hire DeShaun Foster went south quickly.
On February 12, 2024, Foster was hired as the head coach of UCLA. About 19 months later, he was canned. On Sunday afternoon, the news broke that the Bruins had fired Foster after starting the 2025 campaign 0-3.
