UCLA to hire Indiana’s Tino Sunseri, replacing offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy
LA TimesUCLA has agreed to hire Indiana quarterbacks coach and co-offensive coordinator Tino Sunseri to take over as the Bruins’ offensive coordinator, a person with knowledge of the move told The Times. Foster secured an intriguing replacement, agreeing to hire Indiana quarterbacks coach and co-offensive coordinator Tino Sunseri after the end of the Hoosiers’ season, according to one person close to the situation not authorized to publicly divulge the information because the move has not been made official. Bieniemy’s agent, Jason Fletcher, labeled Bieniemy’s departure as a mutual parting of the ways in a statement, saying the former offensive coordinator with the Washington Commanders was still being paid by the NFL team and was assisting Foster for one season before making a planned return to the NFL in 2025. UCLA’s offensive line was one of the team’s most underperforming position groups last season, allowing 34 sacks and failing to open enough holes for the running backs.
