April 1, 20197 yr 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.
April 1, 20197 yr 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:

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.

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.
April 1, 20197 yr Lifetime Contract = Silly Spurrier is back at Florida in a similar "Ambassador" position.
April 1, 20197 yr 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.
April 1, 20197 yr Spurrier is back at Florida in a similar "Ambassador" position. I can top that, @gold sunrise is back at BGP as an Ambassador!
