Bad news: Today is Charlie Weis' last day on ND payroll

[jay_hq]

He was paid $19 million to not coach Notre Dame's football team over 7 years. Kansas will continue to pay him to not coach there until the end of 2016.

Interesting thing about Weis at KU is that he was 2-2 in his third year when they decided to fire him on Sept. 28.....

Since then, KU has won one game......and is paying Weis millions.
Was it really worth it?

Firing him wasn't the bad decision. Hiring him was.

When does Bobby Bonilla come off the books, oh wait....and I am a Mets fan.

OK, but why do you say this is bad news? Because cash strapped Notre Dame will suddenly be able to commit more resources towards football? Because this will lure the amazingly successful and beloved Weiss back into coaching and this will hurt RU recruiting as he will raid NJ? I don't follow you.

Does this mean that second collections will end at Sunday Mass?

I think it was his way of saying that he was happy to see ND on the hook for so much money for so long. Probably a lot of people were.

I would be happy to not coach if someone would pay me that kind of $$$.

So he was paid over the past 4 years for basically doing nothing. College football has lost its way.

According to the teachings of the Cult of Schiano, this now means Weis is free to take a high profile head coaching job.

Weis might be interested in the running backs job for Rutgers.He has NJ ties and probably knows Christie.

No one made more money from one loss than Charlie.
