Overview

  • The university announced the move Sunday, two days after a 35-10 home loss to New Mexico dropped UCLA to 0-3 and a 108-43 scoring deficit.
  • Foster departs with a 5-10 record over 15 games in less than two seasons as head coach.
  • Skipper, previously the special assistant to the head coach and Fresno State's interim in 2024, will lead the Bruins for the remainder of 2025.
  • UCLA said it will honor Foster’s contract using athletics department-generated funds, with reports estimating the buyout at roughly $6 million.
  • The Bruins have yet to hold a lead this season and enter a bye before opening Big Ten play at Northwestern on Sept. 27.
