New UCLA football assistants to operate under a new philosophy

UCLA's football team has some new coaches on offense, and with them a new philosophy, Coach Jim Mora said.

"What you will see is a multifaceted offense incorporating tight ends and fullbacks into our schemes," Mora said Wednesday in a statement summarizing the coaching changes. "Our objective is to be a big, strong and physical offensive unit that has flexibility of personnel groupings."

UCLA's statement confirmed what was reported this week: Kennedy Polamalu has been promoted to offensive coordinator and will remain the running backs coach, Marques Tuiasosopo has left USC to coach UCLA's quarterbacks and Rip Scherer will transition from associate athletic director for football to tight ends coach.
