LOS ANGELES >> Josh Rosen, college football’s most outspoken quarterback, is not shy about disagreeing with his new quarterbacks coach.
Marques Tuiasosopo, the coach charged with mentoring UCLA’s star signal caller, is not shy about dishing it right back.
This philosophy is central to how Tuiasosopo, a former Rose Bowl MVP quarterback himself, has run UCLA’s quarterbacks room in the nine months since his hiring. Questions are encouraged. Boundaries are pushed. “It’s an open conversation,” as Tuiasosopo describes it, and when it comes to unlocking the star potential of a quarterback who is rarely at a loss for words, maybe it’s just as simple as that.
