Seasons |
The 2023 UCLA Bruins football team represented the University of California, Los Angeles in the Pac-12 Conference during the 2023 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Bruins were led by Chip Kelly in his sixth and final season at UCLA. They played their home games at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. The season was the team's last season as members of Pac-12 before joining the Big Ten Conference in 2024.
UCLA finished the regular season with a 7–5 record, losing three of their last four.[1] They won the LA Bowl over Boise State for their first bowl win in Kelly's six-year tenure and the Bruins' first since 2015. UCLA finished 8–5 for their third consecutive eight-win season and the program's second such streak since 1988.
Following the season on February 9, 2024, Kelly resigned to take the offensive coordinator position with Ohio State.[2]
Offseason
On January 24, 2023, UCLA announced that it was hiring Kodi Whitfield as its new cornerbacks coach.[3] On February 27, the school announced that it was hiring D'Anton Lynn as its defensive coordinator.[4] Bill McGovern, director of football administration and former defensive coordinator, died on May 30, 2023.
