	Athletes - Ed Kezirian

Ed Kezirian (born August 4, 1952) was the head coach of the University of California, Los Angeles college football for one game.

Personal life and college career

Growing up in Fresno, California, Ed Kezirian lettered in football at Central Union High School. He also spent two seasons at Reedley Junior College in Reedley, California before transferring to UCLA in 1973. He was part of coach Pepper Rodgers' very powerful offensive line at the time.

Coaching career

Kezirian is the Assistant Athletic Director for Academic Services at UCLA. He was an offensive line coach under Terry Donahue and Bob Toledo, and when Toledo was fired on December 10, 2002 Kezirian became the interim head coach for the game against the New Mexico Lobos in the Las Vegas Bowl on December 25, 2002. He was victorious in his only game as Bruin head coach; UCLA won 27-13. An interesting note from that game was when New Mexico sent Katie Hnida out to kick an extra point, Katie became the first woman to play in a Division I-A college football game. The kick was blocked, so UCLA was not the first team to be scored upon by a woman in a Division I-A game.

After the game, Kezirian retired from coaching to his current position and was replaced by Karl Dorrell.
