Listing Reasonable Goals for Chesney in Year One at UCLA
By Luke Joseph
Published on August 1, 2026.
UCLA football has had its third head coach since 2020, with Bob Chesney following a disappointing season with a 3-9 record and considered a laughing stock in the Big Ten. Despite this, Chesney has completely rebuilt the program, including the roster and coaching staff from James Madison. He has previously had successful stints at FCS and lower-division programs, including Assumption University, Salve Regina, and, before James Madison, Holy Cross. The goal for year one with Chesney is to build an identity while remaining competitive in the big Ten and be bowl-game eligible.
