The DeShaun Foster era is over after 15 games and just five victories, the former UCLA star running back’s storybook rise to head coach at his alma mater coming to an abrupt, deflating end.
After an 0-3 start that included back-to-back losses to Mountain West Conference teams, Foster was dismissed on Sunday in a move that showed the Bruins will no longer accept their status as the laughingstocks of the college football world, a person with knowledge of the decision not authorized to discuss it publicly.
Tim Skipper will serve as the interim coach for the rest of the season as the school commences a search for a permanent replacement.
