Overview

  • Athletic director Martin Jarmond will chair a committee of Casey Wasserman, Bob Myers, Eric Kendricks, Adam Peters and Erin Adkins.
  • UCLA indicated the search will span several months, with a hire likely after the regular season concludes in December.
  • The process follows DeShaun Foster’s Sept. 14 firing after an 0-3 start, with Tim Skipper now serving as interim head coach.
  • Committee members bring notable hiring track records, including Peters and Myers’ involvement in Washington’s Dan Quinn hire and Myers’ selection of Steve Kerr with the Warriors.
  • Most members have UCLA affiliations, and Jarmond pledged to identify, recruit and invest in a leader to restore the program’s national stature.
