A lot changed over this offseason for the UCLA Bruins. After the departure of Chip Kelly, DeShaun Foster took over as the new head coach.
In the wake of Kelly’s exit, the position of offensive coordinator needed to be filled. Taking over the Bruins offense, seasoned NFL play-caller Eric Bieniemy prepares for his first season in Westwood.
UCLA Wire’s own Matt Madleigh took part in a Q&A, with Brock Vierra of NBS Media to talk about the potential changes to the Bruins offense under Bieniemy and what we know so far.
Of Bieniemy’s offensive changes, Wadleigh said, “We can expect UCLA’s offense to be much more exciting than in recent years. Foster loves to run the football (surprise), but Bieniemy will likely add in some new elements and try to open the game up in the air while also controlling the running game. To put it simple: Bieniemy has been pretty mum so far on the new scheme.”
Having an experienced Bieniemy calling the plays for the Bruins should be a good foil for Foster in his first season. Hopefully, the collaborative environment for the Bruins pays off with UCLA’s offense running smoothly and keeping them in games.
