UCLA Bruins is set to hire DeShaun Foster as the school's next head coach, sources told ESPN.

The team is being notified of the decision in a team meeting on Monday morning, the sources said. Foster had taken a job as the Las Vegas Raiders' running backs coach in recent weeks.

Foster is in the UCLA Hall of Fame as a player, is a longtime assistant coach and has played seven seasons in the NFL. He emerged among a pool of 11 candidates who UCLA interviewed, many of whom were a sitting head coach.
