The former Bruins running back and running backs coach was hastily hired just three days after Chip Kelly's sudden departure, the embattled Jarmond rushing to judgment by making a giant hire for one small reason. — because Foster's return will allow the Bruins to keep their coaching staff largely intact and not require serious buyout bucks. "I am excited to partner with [Foster] as we usher UCLA Football into an exciting new era," Jarmond said.

When Foster was introduced to the players Monday morning they swarmed him with hugs and high-fives and it was a nice moment.
