They are friends, they sat down and talked about it, and BB understands. This is the NFL and there aren't any hard feelings.

In September 2009, the Los Angeles Times, citing an NFL source, reported that the average NFL defensive coordinator made approximately $850,000.
Average for a coordinator in the NFL is under $1mil. Gus is "only" at $3.5 and I believe in the bottom 5 for head coaches. I spent about two minutes looking and couldn't find any of his actual salaties, but I highly doubt Bob has had a contact at a million per in his NFL career, especially since the vast majority of his time in the NFL has been as a position coach.
With coaches shows, bonuses, etc. Dale's total is probably approaching $400k with all the extras.
Of course Bob is making more, but even $200-$300k isn't really that a huge swing when you're moving from Carbondale to Chicago or Jacksonville, and he's not automatically a millionaire because "he has all that NFL money."
The difference between $350-$400k in Carbondale and even $700-$750k in Chicago (where he likely had his largest contact) in standard of living is not that much, and the two are certainly closer to each other than the difference between that $750k and $1.1-$1.15 and nowhere near Gus's $3.5.
None of it is chump change, but it's not earth shattering money either.

If this website is correct, he didn't get much in the way of incentives.
250K/year seems like a reasonable guess?
