His salary is $3m a year, almost $1.1m under the league average.  For comparison's sake, Chip Kelly pulls in over $7m and they were competing for the same teams.

 

I thought Gus was in the 4.5 to 5 million range.  Is anyone else surprised to hear this?

First time head coach promoted from coordinator.

 

Seems pretty standard to me.

No, he is a first time head coach.  I would expect his salary to be below average.  Chip Kelly was a high profile head coach who had to be lured away from college football.

Are you serious? 

 

Zero track record as a head coach...not sure what you expected. 

 

He's being compensated fairly given his resume. 

 

When/ if Bradley's resume earns a pay raise, I'm sure Shad will have no problem doing so. 

---

I think kelly was making about 3mil/yr at oregon and he has some of the GM role including final say over the roster.

---

Kaishakunin for hire.

* (disclaimer) If you think I'm serious, hit yourself in the face w/ a hammer.

 

No.. considering he was a coordinator in his last position.

I think Bridgewater at 3 is better value than Mack at 3, yes.

If he takes this team to the playoffs this year or further and they show tons of improvement I'm sure him & Khan will talk.

It's a little less than I thought.  I hope he makes it an easy decision to pay him lots more in a few years.

Why is it less than you thought? Any first time HC is paid similarly. 

---

I think the real question is what did he do with Poz's neck?  Mang Poz could be a double for superman

Gus has created a certain type of culture in Jacksonville, Code Black, Kyle O'brien (director of college scouting) said they are looking for Code Black Players,

"Physically and mentally tough

and

a true passion for the game" -

 

If you love to compete you will do well here...

Simply because I haven't really looked at the median salary for HCs in a few years, and there was a bit of a media buzz about him and his hawks D history when he was still a "candidate." 

 

I'm not saying he's underpaid.

oh, ok.

It's not really surprising, but if the team continues to improve, and the fan base continues to get behind Bradley, it won't take much longer for him to see that pay increase.  Khan ain't cheap, so if he thinks the man is worth more, he'll get more when the time is right.

Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Bradley has completed 1 year of a 4 year contract. There really is no rush though. As long as it would be done by the lame duck year. 

 

I just hope when the Jags do give Bradley that raise, that they never do five year contract extensions again. 3 years and under are plenty. Gotta learn from the JDR mistake.

I'm not expecting it to happen now.  But, if the team makes a huge improvement from year 1 to year 2, he'll get a new deal during year 3.  I've got no problem with a 4 or even 5 year deal.  It's not my money.  If it takes that to secure a good coach, then you do it.

I don't think Bradley would scoff at a 3 year extension with a handsome pay rate increase. 

 

The NFL is too fleeting in todays era to go 5 years for extensions. Remember how fast the Del Rio thing fell apart and we were handcuffed for extra years in having to retain him??

 

I'd rather not follow in identical footsteps to that.

You supported the Del Rio extension, and the only reason we were handcuffed is because Wayne didn't want to pay 2 coaches.  It's clear that Khan doesn't have the same aversion. 

 

If Gus proves to be the coach most hope he has the ability to become, and the team responds accordingly, I want the team to lock him up for as long as they possibly can so we don't have to worry about a team with deeper pockets trying to cherry pick him at some point.

I know I supported the JDR extension....and later I saw that I was short sighted in doing so as we got burned by giving him 5 more years.  Thats why I am trying to learn from history rather than repeat it. 

 

While Khan has more dough than Weaver, I still don't think he'd want to eat 3 years of contract for anyone. Thats the situation we could be put in with a contract extension of 5 years. 

 

The above sort of contradicts itself too. On one hand you are saying that you're not worried about the JDR situation repeating itself because of Khan's deeper pockets, yet the deeper pockets doesn't factor in when it comes to worrying about another team trying to cherry pick Bradley. 

 

I think as long as Khan keeps Bradley in proper pay with contract extensions by his lame duck year, that 3 year contract extensions will be enough to keep him happy.
