UCLA coach Chip Kelly rounded out his coaching staff by naming Dana Bible as his quarterbacks coach on Tuesday, the school announced. Kelly also finalized the hiring of Roy Manning to coach special teams and outside linebackers, and Vince Oghobaase to coach the defensive line. Bible will be reunited with Kelly. Bible ended a three-year retirement to join Kelly's staff on the San Francisco 49ers in 2016. The 64-year-old Bible was a quarterbacks coach with the Cincinnati Bengals from 1990-92 and served as the offensive coordinator with the Philadelphia Eagles in 1998. Bible also was an offensive coordinator at Boston College, where he worked with Matt Ryan, and at North Carolina State, where he coached Russell Wilson and Mike Glennon. Manning was hired away from Pac-12 rival Washington State, where he served as outside linebackers coach for the past three years. Oghobaase spent the past two seasons as an assistant line coach with the 49ers. Kelly, who was hired by the Bruins in late November to replace Jim Mora, also retained four assistants from Mora's staff: Jimmie Dougherty (wide receivers), DeShaun Foster (running backs), Hank Fraley (offensive line) and Angus McClure (tight ends).
