UCLA working to extend Bob Chesney's contract as rapid rise puts Bruins coach atop hiring boards

UCLA is working to extend head football coach Bob Chesney's contract after the Bruins started the season 9-0, according to CBS Sports sources.

The negotiations come as UCLA's athletic department faces financial challenges including debt and sparse game attendance.
