UCLA did it.

The Bruins secured their No. 1 pick for their head coaching position, announcing a five-year, $23.3 million deal with Chip Kelly on Saturday morning. The contract has a $9 reciprocal buyout.

“I am thrilled to welcome Chip Kelly to Westwood,” Athletic Director Dan Guerrero said in a statement. “His success speaks for itself, but more than that, I firmly believe that his passion for the game and his innovative approach to coaching student-athletes make him the perfect fit for our program. ‘Champions Made Here’ is more than just a mantra at UCLA, and I’m confident that Chip will lead UCLA Football back to competing for championships.”
