"While Dave Roberts has been a model of consistency since being hired as Los Angeles Dodgers manager prior to the 2016 season, the same hasn't held true for his alma mater. The UCLA football team has cycled through five head coaches, when including interims, during Roberts' managerial career. The Bruins are poised to usher in a sixth new head coach during that span with their hiring of Bob Chesney from James Madison University."
"and I just felt that with my role in Los Angeles, there's some opportunities and I've also got some experience and understanding of the university, understanding of the city of Los Angeles and felt that as an alum, I could add some value. I'm all in on trying to revive this football program, and I feel like I want to do my part to help out in any way I can."
"The Bruins fired DeShaun Foster after he started the season 0-3. Foster was only in his second year as head coach of the UCLA football team. Tim Skipper was named the interim coach and he immediately guided the Bruins to a historic upset of Penn State. Now Chesney takes over of a Bruins football program after spending the last two seasons at James Madison.

Dave Roberts has served as Los Angeles Dodgers manager since before the 2016 season and has been a model of consistency. UCLA football has gone through five head coaches, including interims, during that same span and is hiring Bob Chesney from James Madison as its sixth head coach in that period. Roberts, a UCLA alumnus and Athletics Hall of Famer, participated in the exhaustive search and offered his experience and local understanding to help revive the program. DeShaun Foster was fired after an 0-3 start, Tim Skipper briefly led the team to an upset, and Chesney remains at James Madison through the College Football Playoff before assuming UCLA duties.
