UCLA signs Chip Kelly to contract extension through 2027

UCLA coach Chip Kelly signed a contract extension through the 2027 season, the school announced on Friday. Terms of the deal were not immediately available.

UCLA finished 9-4 last season with a 37-35 loss to Pittsburgh in the Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl, but his winning percentage has increased in each of his five seasons. Last year was the first time since 2014 that the No. 21 Bruins were ranked in the final AP Top 25 and AFCA Coaches Poll.

"I am excited about our football program under the leadership of Coach Kelly and his talented staff," UCLA athletic director Martin Jarmond said in a prepared statement.
