""I think winners know what it looks like, what it sounds like. If it walks like a duck, sounds like a duck, it's a duck. This guy is the real deal. His approach is very impressive. You can tell he's a young coach with an open mind but strong resolve.""
""I'm excited to see that UCLA has a clear vision moving forward and intend to be a contender in the near future. From the head coach to the chancellor's comments, it appears they know what they want and have a plan to get there.""
Bob Chesney is the new UCLA football coach and plans proactive outreach to Southern California high school coaches through clinics, open practices and accommodating requests. He acknowledged needing to learn regional recruiting after coaching primarily on the East Coast and pledged to hire staff with West Coast ties. His immediate challenge will be retaining and recruiting players already on the UCLA roster, as some players like freshman linebacker Scott Taylor did not confirm returning. Local high school coaches praised Chesney as genuine, open-minded, resolute and said UCLA appears to have a clear plan to contend. Chesney has a fifth-grade son who plays football and could be a future recruit.
