LOS ANGELES — UCLA went with a familiar, beloved name in selecting the football coach to lead it into a new era. While galvanizing a large swath of the fan base, not to mention current players loyal to Foster as the team's longtime running backs coach, the move comes with considerable risk. I think he's a really, really good running backs coach, an NFL-level running backs coach and developer of talent." Foster started his coaching career as a graduate assistant at UCLA under Jim Mora from 2013 to 2015 before spending one season under Kliff Kingsbury as Texas Tech's running backs coach. In 2017, Foster returned to UCLA as running backs coach under Mora and was retained by Kelly when he was hired later that year.
