Sunseri Leaves; Neuheisel Will Call Rose Bowl

Tino Sunseri mutually parted ways with UCLA after four games following a disastrous offensive start to the 2025 season. The Bruins averaged just 14.2 points per game (132nd of 134) and 321.2 yards (117th), fell to 0–4 and did not lead a game. Tight ends coach Jerry Neuheisel, who has no prior experience as an offensive coordinator, will assume offensive play-calling duties for the upcoming Rose Bowl against No. 7 Penn State, and former UCLA coordinator Noel Mazzone is expected to join as an analyst. The moves follow the earlier dismissals of head coach DeShaun Foster and defensive coordinator Ikaika Malloe, leaving UCLA without its head coach and both coordinators four games into the season. The program is undertaking an urgent staff overhaul to try to reverse its poor start.
