UCLA football head coach Bob Chesney was put in rarified air on Saturday during the start of UCLA's training camp, getting compared to legendary Indiana coach Curt Cignetti.
UCLA and Indiana are both in the Big Ten, but they are in two vastly different arcs in their programs.
Indiana has been a surface dweller in the conference for a long time, with the school and state known more for their basketball than football exploits.
However, they hired head coach Curt Cignetti two years ago, and in one year, he had them get a winning season and the next, they were the National Champions.
