UCLA is expected to hire Baltimore Ravens safeties coach D’Anton Lynn as its new defensive coordinator to replace Bill McGovern.
given his history of employing old friends as defensive coordinator. Longtime colleague Jerry Azzinaro held the post for Kelly’s first four seasons with the Bruins before Kelly pivoted to McGovern last season.
It was not immediately clear if McGovern, who turned 60 on New Year’s Eve, would be retained in a less demanding position such as defensive analyst. Asked in late December if he expected to fulfill the final year on his two-year, $1.8-million contract in 2023, McGovern was unequivocal.McGovern’s stepping aside from his role means the Bruins will have a third defensive coordinator in as many seasons.
But just when it appeared that McGovern would preside over a feel-good return in the Sun Bowl, the Bruins gave up 20 consecutive points in their 37-35 loss, including a late field goal after Pittsburgh drove into range for the winning points after beginning the drive on its own 25-yard line with 34 seconds left and no timeouts.
