UCLA parts with offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy after one difficult season
UCLA has parted with offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy after the Bruins’ offense struggled throughout the 2024 season. Eric Bieniemy received a hero’s welcome upon his arrival in March, co-workers lining the hallway inside UCLA’s practice facility to serenade him with applause.
The new offensive coordinator removed one of his Super Bowl rings so that DeShaun Foster, his new boss, could inspect it.
“It’s time,” Bienemy said that day, referring to his plans to do big things. “It’s time.”
Nine months later, after a season in which the Bruins’ offense ranked as one of the worst in the nation and several top players regressed from their previous form, the Bieniemy era is over.
