UCLA has a pretty long track record of not paying big numbers to attract top coaching talent.
Very true but seriously- why bother to make the offer unless you're going to give the guy SOME reason to say yes?
UCLA: "Hey Coach Cal- want to coach at UCLA? It will be just as much stress but with even more unrealistic expectations, you'll need to move, sell your current home, take a 1.2 million dollar pay cut, pay higher taxes, travel more than ever, pay way higher for everything, deal with the insanity of a jilted Kentucky fan base and no longer be the main entertainment attraction in town."
CAL: "Uh- why would I do that?"
UCLA: "We're UCLA and it is sunny a lot here."
