Just explain how to mix 130 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: it up and learn a region or is it just 131 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: a you plug in your system and anywhere is good 132 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: to go. 133 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think you have a little bit of both 134 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 5: in there, right, So you have your system, you know 135 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 5: what's worked, you know what has worked for you in 136 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 5: the past, as far as team building, assembling the right people, 137 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 5: you know, making sure that everybody's alignment is very strong 138 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 5: and that you're focused on the one thing, which is winning, right. 139 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 5: And I think every day you have an opportunity to 140 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 5: come in and figure out if you're going to be 141 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 5: complete competing or complaining. Right, you got to pick one 142 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 5: of those two, and every day these guys you know, 143 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 5: choose to compete. But we had to make sure that 144 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 5: we had you know, enough West Coast out here because 145 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 5: again we're bringing coordinators to keep continuity on offense, defense, 146 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 5: special teams, and strength and conditioning. We had to make 147 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 5: sure that we had, you know, a diverse group, you know, 148 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 5: because I don't know what I don't know. I had 149 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 5: to make sure that I had you know, people that 150 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 5: came along from with West Coast ties. And I thought, 151 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 5: they've done a great job of navigating this recruiting system 152 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 5: out here and getting me in front of the right people. 153 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 5: And I thought, you know, any any relationship has to 154 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 5: begin somewhere and that's at the start, right, So getting 155 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 5: out through every high school as many as I can, 156 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 5: you know here, not only here, but out to Hawaii, 157 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 5: which was obviously hard to do going all the way 158 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 5: out there, and beautiful weather as well, and then Seattle 159 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 5: and then over to Arizona. But it's all about you know, 160 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 5: me getting out there and getting in front of these 161 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 5: people because ultimately I haven't been out here before, so 162 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 5: we got to begin these relationships. And I think we've 163 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 5: done a great job of that. 164 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 2: So when you when you talk about that and go 165 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 2: into high schools and traveling and canvassine, it's not necessarily 166 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 2: what the news cycle has been, right, it's been portal 167 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 2: and transfer and bringing this guy and I need to 168 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 2: raise more money kind of take us through. Is that 169 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 2: sort of the foundation of what you want to do 170 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 2: here at UCLA? And is that why you started there 171 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 2: when you had this conversation with us here. 172 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, well we started in the portal because we just 173 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 5: I stood in front of a room with about fifty 174 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 5: people in it when I first got here and realized 175 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 5: it's clearly not enough to run a football team, and 176 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 5: then to look at how many older guys were in 177 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 5: the portal and deciding to stay or go or had 178 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 5: already left and had homes already. You know, we could 179 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 5: not replace older guys with just freshmen, so we did. 180 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 5: We brought in forty four transfers in this cycle. Not 181 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 5: something we intend to do all the time moving forward, 182 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 5: but it was the necessity for us to be able 183 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 5: to do that right away. So I thought we did 184 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 5: a good job of that. And I think, you know, 185 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 5: we're pretty diverse in that as well. There's a lot 186 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 5: of different guys that came through here thirty two with 187 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 5: multiple years remaining. Twelve of them are in their final year, 188 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,439 Speaker 5: twenty four on defense, twenty on offense. So I feel 189 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 5: good about, you know, what we were able to do. 190 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 5: But it had to start there just because of the 191 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 5: timing of us, you know, getting. 192 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: Here a man of balance, UCLA head coach Bob Chesney 193 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: joining the Petrosen Money Show for the first time. We 194 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 1: hope we get him all the time. He's a great communicator. 195 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:00,959 Speaker 1: It's very interesting because you know, we mentioned the high 196 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: school stuff, we mentioned the portal, but there's also retainment, 197 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 1: right We're retaining guys that are on the team already, 198 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 1: which is a big part of it, which is not 199 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 1: easy to do when you're a new coach. Obviously, I 200 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 1: think you were able to keep the most important guy 201 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 1: on the roster. Probably just explain that that piece of 202 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: it to our listeners if you could coach. 203 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 5: Yeah, the retention part is obviously everybody's here for you, hope, 204 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 5: the same reason, but you know, you find out quickly 205 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 5: maybe they're here for different reasons. And if you're not 206 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 5: able to match, you know, what they are getting from 207 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 5: outside places, or not willing to match what they're getting 208 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,839 Speaker 5: from outside places, then it's time for them to move on. 209 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 5: If they leave the mission, they're you know, clearly not 210 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 5: meant for the mission. But Nico, you know, believes in 211 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 5: this mission and it's exciting to see him out there 212 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 5: leading every day and just to know the caliber player 213 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 5: he is. Now we got to do a much better 214 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 5: job of protecting him and building a run game around him, 215 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 5: and we got to be a little bit better on 216 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 5: defense as well. Get off the field on third down 217 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 5: and affect their quarterback a little were two areas where 218 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 5: I think we're dead last and third down defense and 219 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 5: dead last, and you know, TFLs and quarterback sacks. So 220 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 5: those are things that we have to be able to 221 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 5: do to keep the ball in his hands, and I 222 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 5: thought we did a nice job of bolstering that offensive 223 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 5: line and giving him a few more weapons to be 224 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 5: able to, you know, to throw to. 225 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:21,079 Speaker 2: Does the conference dictate kind of how you approach team building? 226 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 2: You see, they've won the last three national championships in 227 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 2: the Big Ten. So so what is it about this 228 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,559 Speaker 2: conference that that you need to do to be effective 229 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,080 Speaker 2: and to find your way to the top of it? 230 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,679 Speaker 5: Oh man, you better, you better be able to play 231 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 5: very physical football periods. The offensive lines in this you know, 232 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 5: in this league are stellar and I think we faced 233 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 5: it when we were at JMU going up against the 234 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,960 Speaker 5: Oregon We understand, you know, the caliber of the top 235 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 5: level teams in this league, and that's where it ultimately started. 236 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 5: Tight ends, you know, the offensive line, defensive line, and 237 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 5: then you just need that top end speed on the 238 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 5: outside and you got to be able to cover that speed. 239 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,559 Speaker 5: So to me, these are complete teams in this league. 240 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 5: This is not one that you know, if you go 241 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 5: through and you don't have the pass rusher, you know, 242 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 5: if you don't have the ability to protect the quarterback, 243 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 5: you're going to get exposed. Really quickly. So we understand that, 244 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 5: and I thought, again, our coaches did a phenomenal job 245 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,680 Speaker 5: of you know, putting a really good portal class together. 246 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 1: You know, one of the unique things about college football 247 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 1: is that every place has its own unique challenges and 248 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 1: its bonuses. I'm sure holy Cross was tough being in 249 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 1: the shadow of Gordie Lockbaum, you know, just different things 250 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 1: over the years. Every place has its own list of 251 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 1: dos and don'ts, and you learn that as a head 252 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,200 Speaker 1: coach and being able to adapt to that makes you 253 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 1: a good head coach. UCLA is kind of notorious for being, 254 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 1: you know, tough to get stuff done. It's a big 255 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 1: uc system. There's a you know, the chancellor, a lot 256 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: going on. Do you find it difficult to navigate stuff 257 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 1: or or have they given you the reins to be 258 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,680 Speaker 1: able to do what you need to be adroit in 259 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:55,679 Speaker 1: your decision making. 260 00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 5: Yeah, they've been great. They've been great. Chancellor Frank he 261 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 5: I mean, he helped build that Miami program down there 262 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 5: when they were down and didn't have a lot going 263 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 5: in their favor. He I thought, had a clear vision 264 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 5: and understood you could have both. You can have this 265 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:16,680 Speaker 5: unbelievable Number one public school academically in the country with 266 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 5: phenomenal alumni. Number one applied school applied to school in 267 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 5: the country, so there's a huge demand for it. But 268 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 5: you don't have to sacrifice athletics. You can have both 269 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 5: and he understands that and nothing better to see him 270 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 5: at all of our events up to this point. We 271 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 5: had two different alumni fundraising events that he was present at. 272 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,439 Speaker 5: He was at the basketball game the other day, he 273 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 5: was obviously present at the press conference. Just things that 274 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 5: from what I understand, did not happen in the past. 275 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 5: So you know, that's the right guy certainly at the wheel. 276 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,560 Speaker 2: What is what is the key to try to get 277 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 2: into this mix? You mentioned you played Oregon, you know 278 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 2: what that looked like. We saw what Indiana was able 279 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 2: to do en route to win in a national championship. 280 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,120 Speaker 2: Same thing last year Ohio State and Michigan in the 281 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 2: year before that. Like, what is what is sort of 282 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 2: the key to try to get into that mix like 283 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,560 Speaker 2: we saw you know, Kurt Signetty do with Indiana, That's 284 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 2: something no one thought would be possible. 285 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that you don't you don't put self 286 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 5: limitations on this program. That's where it starts. I think he, 287 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,960 Speaker 5: you know, built a team. If you watch those Indiana 288 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 5: guys grab a microphone and you try to ask them 289 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 5: about themselves, they just can't even talk about themselves. All 290 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 5: they could talk about is the team. It's just it's 291 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 5: just who they are and you know how they built it. 292 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 5: And that's the same thing we did with every kid 293 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 5: in this portal. As we said, you can only come 294 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 5: here if we're talking about team teammate, then yourself, right 295 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 5: and if you are focused on winning a Big Ten championship, 296 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 5: that's the only way you could get in these doors. 297 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 5: And you know, I think when you have that, when 298 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 5: you have people from a lot of team for a 299 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 5: lot of different reasons, when it gets tough, you run 300 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 5: to your reason, you know. And if it's if there's 301 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 5: you know, fifty different one hundred different reasons on that team, 302 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 5: you're going to run to those. But if you're centrally 303 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 5: located and everybody has alignment and believe that, you know, 304 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 5: we want to care about the team teammates, then ourselves 305 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 5: and we're going to win Big ten championship some when 306 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 5: it gets tough, that's what you run to. You don't 307 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 5: run away from that. You run to that and that's 308 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 5: the probably the most important part when you look at 309 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 5: great teams. This is not an individual sport. This is 310 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 5: a team sport, and you know, we have to be 311 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 5: able to make sure all of our guys are aligned 312 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 5: in in that way of thinking. 313 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 1: Well, what a pleasure to talk to Bob Chesney. It's 314 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: been fun watching you operate in this off season part 315 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 1: of the football schedule and put your stuff together and 316 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 1: can't wait to see the Bob Chesney era at UCLA 317 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 1: kickoff September fifth at Cawn. Now, coach, we usually when 318 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 1: it comes to people that are new in town, you know, 319 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 1: most of the time, you know it's like a twenty 320 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 1: year old football player or you know, maybe a young 321 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 1: basketball player. 322 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 3: But we always caution guys. 323 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 1: About going Hollywood and getting caught up in the city 324 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 1: because you know, the city can change people. But you are, 325 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 1: you know, you're a head coach, pretty buttoned up, but 326 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 1: you're also a pretty young guy as well. You know, 327 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 1: do you worry about, you know, hanging out with the 328 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 1: wrong crowd out here in La. 329 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 5: Me myself hang out the wrong yeah. 330 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 1: You know, like you know, like you saw Mighty Ducks too. 331 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 1: When Gordon Bombay.
