From what we've heard, he interviewed there and killed it, but also didn't love some of Penn State's answers. But Penn State seemingly never actually offered him the job because the AD thought the fans wouldn't accept a G6 coach.
He might have been under consideration for a bit, but once we locked up Sitake (lmao) we already had our guy. When that fell apart everyone we'd looked at had new jobs or contracts already
That's the vibes I got and matches the timeline. Chesney held out a real long time before publicly announcing UCLA. I figured he was waiting on Penn State and they finally turned him down when they got the verbal from Sitake.

Since their 0-4 start last season, UCLA is 8-5.
Penn State is 7-8.
UCLA stole their mojo and Penn State screwed up worse not hiring Chesney
