$6.75 Million Per Year for Five Years

UCLA will pay its new football coach Bob Chesney $6.75 million per year, with his contract spanning five years.

Chesney could enhance his pay through incentives and escalators. 

The 49-year-old was hired by UCLA from James Madison after its generational season in which it qualified for the College Football Playoff. 

Chesney arrived in Los Angeles Monday afternoon and will spend two days on UCLA’s campus before having to return to James Madison to prepare to play No. 5 seed Oregon in the first round of the CFP Saturday, Dec. 20th at 4:30 p.m. PT.
