UCLA Forms Elite Committee to Find New Head Football Coach
September 26, 2025 - 04:18
UCLA is enlisting the expertise of prominent sports executives and alumni in its quest to find a new head football coach. The university has appointed Casey Wasserman, the chairman of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic organizing committee, and Adam Peters, general manager of the Washington Commanders, to join the search. They will work alongside athletics director Martin Jarmond as part of a six-member search committee announced on Thursday.
This strategic move comes in the wake of the dismissal of DeShaun Foster, who was let go after the team’s disappointing start to the season, with a record of 0-3. The committee's goal is to identify a candidate who can revitalize the football program and restore its competitive edge. With the involvement of high-profile figures in the sports industry, UCLA aims to attract a coach capable of leading the team to success in the challenging landscape of college football. The search is expected to be thorough and swift, reflecting the urgency of the situation.
