As the days continue to pass, Nico Iamaleava’s decision to leave the University of Tennessee for UCLA seems worse than the last. The Bruins are one of four teams in the FBS still without a win, dropping to 0-4 after their 17-14 loss to Northwestern in Week 4. If that wasn’t obvious enough, the Bruins’ latest move should all but raise the white flag on Iamaleava’s transfer.
On September 30, the L.A. Times’ Ben Bolch reported that UCLA offensive coordinator Tino Sunseri was leaving the team in a “mutual parting of ways.” He wasn’t the first. Defensive coordinator Ikaika Malloe also departed in a mutual split earlier in September. This all came after head coach DeShaun Foster was fired following UCLA’s 35-10 loss to New Mexico in Week 3.
