I only heard a few minutes. But for what it's worth, I have never been more impressed, presentation-wise, by a UCLA coach -- Wooden John (pardon my blasphemy) and even Dick Vermeil included. Articulate. Energetic. Confident, without attempting to minimize the challenges.
I know, I know. Rick Neuheisel was a great talker, yet not a successful coach.
But right now, my guess would be that Chesney might evolve into a very rare bird: a UCLA football or hoops head coach who gets to leave (or retire) on his own terms.
(I do not count Chip Kelly as one of those. He quit but at a time when there was intense pressure for him to be fired.)
