The hiring of DeShaun Foster is now old news, with spring football starting, recruiting, and transfer portal news dwarfing the UCLA news cycle. But the Bruins are not the only team with a new head coach.
Joining the Bruins in Power 5 conferences with new head coaches are Washington, Alabama, Michigan, Michigan State, Houston, Boston College, Duke, Arizona, Syracuse, Northwestern, Indiana, Mississippi State, and Texas A&M.
Notably, Michigan, Michigan State, Northwestern, Indiana, and Washington join the Bruins as teams in the BIG 10 with new head coaches at the helm.
Though the Bruins project to fall somewhere near the bottom of the BIG 10 in 2024, do not rule out some of their BIG 10 contemporaries have some struggles, as well, with their new head coaches.

The one thing that could hurt the Bruins is their roster. With former head coach Chip Kelly struggling to keep the pipeline going while in Westwood, the Bruins lag behind in the BIG 10.
But if the Bruins’ efforts in recruiting and the transfer portal prove to be successful, the narrative surrounding them and their team could change in a heartbeat.
