The fallout from UCLA’s worst season since 2010 began Sunday when the university announced it would not retain offensive coordinator Kennedy Polamalu in the wake of the team’s epic struggles to move the ball.
Polamalu oversaw a running game that ranked No. 127 among 128 Football Bowl Subdivision schools by averaging 84.3 yards a game. UCLA also ranked No. 96 in scoring offense (24.9 points) and No. 92 in total offense (379.8 yards) per game.
“I want to thank Kennedy for his hard work, dedication to the program and commitment to our student-athletes,” Bruins Coach Jim Mora said in a statement announcing the coaching move.
