UCLA coach Chip Kelly continued to overhaul his defensive staff while adding another veteran assistant, hiring Paul Rhoads as defensive backs coach. He had been the defensive backs coach for the Razorbacks before being promoted to defensive coordinator in January. He had previously served as defensive backs coach at Iowa State and Pacific. He brought in Jerry Azzinaro as defensive coordinator and Don Pellum as linebackers coach while retaining DeShaun Foster as running backs coach, Jimmie Dougherty as wide receivers coach and Hank Fraley as offensive line coach. Kelly is also believed to be considering keeping defensive line coach Angus McClure, though it was not known in what capacity.
