LOS ANGELES — UCLA dropped offensive coordinator Kennedy Polamalu on Sunday after a dismal season for the Bruins' offense.
Coach Jim Mora announced the move one day after his worst year in Westwood ended at 4-8 with a loss at California.
Polamalu spent just one season calling plays for the Bruins' offense after two years as their running backs coach. The veteran assistant was promoted and promised to bring a physical, run-based pro scheme to the school after four seasons under Noel Mazzone, who ran a sophisticated college-style passing game.
