New UCLA coach DeShaun Foster talks with the L.A. Times about the start of his tenure, what he hopes to change and how he wants the Bruins to compete.
On a recent morning inside DeShaun Foster’s sprawling third-floor office, automatic shades are lowered to block out the harsh sunlight — not to mention an arresting view of the practice field below.

That was a point of mine, to get NFL coaches.
