Not sure about him taking the job but I'd guess that number ain't legit.

That salary would put him below James Franklin and just above Kirk Ferentz

It's also the same $$$ they paid to McElwain....therefore I conclude it is NOT legit

IF UF decides to offer and IF he takes it, I could see him taking that. Due to his 49ers contract, he's going to make $6M in 2018 regardless so, in this case, UF pays $4.5M and 9ers pay $1.5M.

That would allow him to go after some big name assistants and then see his salary increase in year 2 or 3 (and allow UF to basically get out of McElwain's contract with almost no financial pain)

He's dumb as hell then. They'll be a ton of big jobs available, he should just wait until they're all open and make them bid. Tennessee and Nebraska would make UF up that number in a couple hours.

You have to pay like $1.5M. If you saved the $1.5M on Kelly's deal (the supposed $4.5M offer against the known $6M that he's going to make off of his 49ers contract), then you'd never really "feel" that $1.5M. That's my point.

Yeah, but 1.5 million is nothing. It's not going to stop UF from paying Kelly what he wants.

But like I said, it's a 6 year deal with basically an open checkbook for assistants and very incentive driven contract.

lol no freaking way is this true

eta - ah yes I forgot that it cuts into what the Niners owe him. Still would have thought he would command over 6 million but maybe Chip wants this job bad.

He gets $6M from his prior NFL contract, so he'll still collect $1.5M from it. There'll be additional incentive $s in his UF deal too.
