Here is a look at a current college football coordinator whom UCLA could potentially hire as its next head coach.
As a former Bruins player, Tony White, who is Florida State's Defensive Coordinator, is a name with a close connection to UCLA. He has proceeded to establish himself as a competent coordinator and was allegedly a candidate for the head coaching position the last time it was available. White's West Coast and UCLA connections may play a significant role in his campaign, and he has more coordinator experience than Foster had before being hired. He has been a defensive coordinator at Arizona State, Syracuse, Nebraska, and Florida State.
Once again, here is the explanation of the 10-point criteria system for each potential coaching candidate who may become the next head coach at UCLA.

Criteria No. 7: No
Criteria No. 8: Yes
Criteria No. 9: No
Criteria No. 10: Yes

Why it could work out if he is the next head coach at UCLA.
His familiarity with the recruiting atmosphere, alumni base, and culture could help him get started right away.
White has developed top-25 defenses at several programs, including Florida State and Nebraska, and has been nominated twice for the Broyles Award, which is presented to the country's best assistant coach. His defensive strategies have been very successful, especially the 3-3-5 defense he has used. UCLA may get a much-needed identity on that side of the ball because to this knowledge.
His ability to engage with and attract recruits, particularly from the West Coast, is crucial to UCLA's success as it navigates the Big Ten's competitive environment.
White, a former defensive coordinator at Nebraska, has direct knowledge of the Big Ten and what it will take to win in the conference.
