Skipper Reveals More on UCLA, Sunseri Breakup

The UCLA Bruins and offensive coordinator Tino Sunseri mutually agreed to part ways on Tuesday.

This marks yet another coaching staff departure amid a deplorable 0-4 start to the season. UCLA's offense has been severely underperforming, despite the addition of Nico Iamaleava, and Sunseri made his way out along with DeShaun Foster and defensive coordinator Ikaika Malloe.

During Wednesday's media availability, Bruins interim head coach Tim Skipper shed more light on the mutual parting of ways, emphasizing the "mutual" part of it.

"I want to thank coach Sunseri for what he's done here," Skipper said. "Had great conversations with him during my time here and just talking ball, and he's a coach's kid, and just getting better that way. So I just want to throw that out there that I appreciate everything he's done here and, between him and the university, mutually agreed to part ways, and that's what I have to say about that part."

In a quick follow-up, Skipper was asked if he had any input on the departure. He said, "It was all just mutual agreement. That's all I want to say about that. All the elements were together on it, and it was mutual."
