I have no idea what Bob envisions for his career but the current UCLA president cares about football and thatâs a pretty good deal unless one of the bluebloods wants you
NEW: UCLA head coach Bob Chesney on the idea of getting âpoachedâ in the coaching carousel:
âIâve said it before, this is the greatest place in the world to play football and itâs the greatest place in the world to coach football.â

Toronto's Kawhi Leonard is expected to miss a period of weeks due to swelling in his left knee, sources tell ESPN. MRI on Leonard's knee showed no structural damage, but sides will use the shorter term to ramp him back up after the stoppages during the offseason.
Clippers center Brook Lopez is five three-pointers away from reaching the 1,200 career milestone. He's shot 6-of-11 from long range through the first three games of the season.

Dante Mooreâs season is over⌠and the evaluation feels incomplete âmy reaction đ
Dear UCLA football fans,
Nobody in the media is âTRYINGâ to take Bob Chesney away from UCLA.
Understand that when you have a successful team and a successful coach, that coachâs name will begin to come up whenever jobs start opening up.
That just comes with being a winner.
Other schools will look at Chesney and want some of that immediate success for their program too.
At the end of the day, UCLA will have to do what is necessary ($$$) to keep Bob around at some point.
UCLA couldnât keep DâAnton Lynn around when the price went up. That was just a defensive coordinator and I understand this is a different situation.
But when you taste success ⌠the price, expectations and the stakes all go up as well. Please just understand that.
Jim Mora deciding not to go to Texas doesnât make one school any better than the other. If it was Moraâs preference to stay in LA, thatâs his choice.
I never said UCLA isnât a solid job. But will UCLA be willing to match any offer from another program to keep Ches?
And at the end of the day Ches decides he wants to stay in LA thatâs awesome too
Nobody is TRYING to get him to leave. đ
What are you talking about??
Replying to @JHWill
The guy has been at UCLA for 7 games and local media is now all in trying to get him to leave.
You guys are a joke.
My thoughts on coach Bob Chesney potentially leaving UCLA Football for another program like Texas:
I canât say Iâd blame him if he took a big offer. It would be a little disappointing for UCLA fans.
Part of me thinks he wouldnât do that and would want to continue building with the Bruins but you have make the money and move up when you think the time is right.
Maybe thatâs why he made the jump from JMU for UCLA.
Replying to @JHWill @BleavUCLA
I was listening to Mason and Ireland and Ireland said he "heard" that if Texas let's the coach go they'll do the godfather offer to Chesney. Plenty of money and a huge fan base. Thoughts?
What's being said about #USC football coach Lincoln Riley now sounds similar to what was being said about former #UCLA football coach Chip Kelly a few years ago. At least it does to me.
Am I wrong for thinking that?
Current UCLA football coach Bob Chesney appears to be doing things the âright wayâ but it's still early, so we will see how that goes in the future.

Could Chip Kelly return to Oregon?
Threw together an early list of names that the Oregon Ducks might consider at OC. Will update as I hear more.
There's one obvious name at the top.
