So, when he DIDNT have job that required him to be there, where did he live? Malibu?
Chip is a West Coast guy. Imagine UCLA can. Give him a good deal. I hope he comes here but UCLA has to be the favorite
Few people are in a better catbird seat than Kelly right now. He can drive the price to the moon.
One thing in our favor is the state tax issue.
Yeah, Cali income tax is through the roof. They'd have to offer 2 mil more per year.
Uh-oh.
Discuss.
Link goes nowhere for me."David Dunn, Kelly's agent is apparently flying into Los Angeles to meet with UCLA Athletic Director Dan Guerrero and Associate Athletic Director Josh Rebholz."
UCLA Immediately Pursuing Chip Kelly as Head Coach
Keep in mind that the state of California has laws that cap state employee incomes at a pre-set level so it’s not like they have a blank check. While they may have a high limit for the HC, I think It’s going to be more of an issue for the coordinators and position coaches. USC is a private school so they have that advantage over the Bruins. This is a definite advantage for us. Think about it...if you’re an assistant coach and your pay is capped by state law at say $250k per year, do you really want to work in LA where a postage stamp starter home is at least $1m AND you have to pay state income taxes? I’m sure Chip and his agent are well aware of this.
