UCLA offensive coordinator Noel Mazzone has accepted the job to become the new Texas A&M offensive coordinator, a source told FOX Sports on Wednesday. The 58-year-old Mazzone arrived in College Station on Wednesday night and is expected to get a three-year deal.

A source tells FOX this is not yet a done deal and there are still several details that need to be sorted out.

Mazzone, who has been close to A&M coach Kevin Sumlin for years, spent four seasons with the Bruins under Jim Mora. He will become Sumlin’s fourth offensive coordinator since coming to A&M in 2012.

This season, UCLA ranked No. 28 in the nation in total offense. Mazzone replaces Jake Spavital who left A&M last weekend.

Mazzone has worked in the SEC three times already, running offense at both Auburn and Ole Miss (twice). He has also been an OC at ASU, N.C. State and Oregon State and been the quarterback coach at Colorado State, TCU and Minnesota, where he and Sumlin worked together. Sumlin had actually tried to hire Mazzone to be his offensive coordinator back in 2008 when he first became a head coach at Houston but Mazzone opted to remain as an assistant with the New York Jets.
