bugatti Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Starting to make the rounds on the internet. Presumably in response to UCLA reaching out to Calipari. Deal would include a paid ambassador position with the University post-retirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDeuce Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 UCLA reached out to UK and requested to talk to Cal. When they did, they offered him less money than he's making now. :lol2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Anthony Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Cal already had a lifetime contract, now he gets the pub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nkuclubbaseball19 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 UCLA reached out to UK and requested to talk to Cal. When they did, they offered him less money than he's making now. :lol2: I researched that because it made no sense to me. The extension Cal signed in 2017 is for $8 million a year (same as UCLA’s offer). The $9.2 million figure he’s making this year has to include bonuses I would believe.

Jumper_Dad Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I researched that because it made no sense to me. The extension Cal signed in 2017 is for $8 million a year (same as UCLA’s offer). The $9.2 million figure he’s making this year has to include bonuses I would believe. At UCLA just state taxes would eat 8% more than at UK. UCLA also in the past, at least, has given little money to assistant coaches...much less than UK. Would be tougher to assemble a staff there. I think the UCLA deal had a big signing bonus and then much smaller yearly salary, which in the end was about what he made at UK in total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Parker Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Lifetime Contract = Silly Huge fan of Cal, but I agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumper_Dad Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Lifetime Contract = Silly Spurrier is back at Florida in a similar "Ambassador" position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumper_Dad Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Huge fan of Cal, but I agree. Contracts are made to be broken, I'm sure he could still be fired for cause. I think he's only coaching another 5 or 6 years, so I have no issue with a "Lifetime Contract." He's not going to make the same money after he steps down as coach, it would be dramaticly less.
