Overview

  • Athletic director Martin Jarmond will chair a six-person committee of Casey Wasserman, Bob Myers, Eric Kendricks, Adam Peters and Erin Adkins.
  • The panel will identify candidates to replace DeShaun Foster, who was dismissed on Sept. 14 after an 0-3 start.
  • Jarmond said UCLA will invest to recruit a leader capable of returning the program to national prominence.
  • Tim Skipper is serving as interim head coach as the season continues following Foster’s departure.
  • The process is expected to take months, with a decision likely after the regular season, according to local reporting.
