"Sunseri becomes the second coordinator to depart in the wake of coach DeShaun Foster's dismissal, after defensive coordinator Ikaika Malloe left earlier this month in another mutual parting of ways. Tight ends coach Jerry Neuheisel will be the offensive playcaller when the Bruins (0-4 overall, 0-1 Big Ten) face No. 7 Penn State (3-1, 0-1) on Saturday at the Rose Bowl."
"Sunseri's hiring was hailed as a coup for the Bruins given that he was co-offensive coordinator last season at Indiana, which averaged 47.8 points on the way to reaching the College Football Playoff. But the Bruins' offense has struggled mightily, averaging 14.2 points to rank No. 132 out of 134 major college teams. UCLA also averaged 321.2 yards per game, ranking No. 117 nationally."
"UCLA and offensive coordinator Tino Sunseri mutually parted ways amid the team's 0-4 start. Sunseri becomes the second coordinator to leave following coach DeShaun Foster's dismissal. The Bruins have averaged just 14.2 points per game this season and rank among the worst teams offensively in college football. The lack of offensive production has been a big reason why UCLA has fallen behind in every game, trailing 20-0 against Utah, 23-0 against Nevada Las Vegas, 14-0 against New Mexico and 17-0 against Northwestern."
UCLA and offensive coordinator Tino Sunseri mutually parted ways following an 0-4 start. Sunseri is the second coordinator to leave after coach DeShaun Foster's dismissal, following defensive coordinator Ikaika Malloe's earlier departure. Tight ends coach Jerry Neuheisel will call offensive plays against No. 7 Penn State while staff changes are finalized and former coordinator Noel Mazzone is anticipated to join as an analyst pending university processes. Sunseri was hired after serving as co-offensive coordinator at Indiana, but UCLA's offense has averaged only 14.2 points and 321.2 yards per game, ranking near the bottom nationally.
