Jerry Neuheisel has professed that he would eventually take over the office that once belonged to his father, Rick, by becoming head coach for the UCLA football team.

After a year serving as a graduate assistant as Texas A&M last year, the 25-year-old former Bruins quarterback has taken the first step toward achieving that goal by returning to his alma mater as an offensive graduate assistant this year.

Rick Neuheisel, himself a former UCLA quarterback, was the Bruins' head coach from 2008-2011.
