In a gut-wrenching piece published by Los Angeles Times writer Ben Bloch, it was pointed out that UCLA Bruins head coach Chip Kelly will have been paid at least $11.1 million in base salary from the school at the end of the year.
Let’s say he wins no more games, and for the sake of argument, loses no more games. He’s compiled a record of 7-18 as the head coach and as such — those wins are costing the program $1.59 million the article’s math points out.
I took it a bit further and looked at it the other way around: UCLA is paying Chip Kelly roughly $616,666.
