Hopefully they have a nice buyout for him. They were total morons for giving him that extension to a contract that was initially supposed to end in 2010. I hope he can settle on a nice couple million per season he'll miss.

Granted, I think he is a clown and fleeced everyone into thinking he was a head coach, but firing Weis at this point is hilarious.

18 million buy out. We'll see if Urban is still not interested when they literally hand him a blank check and tell him to fill in the amount.

That's awesome.

Giving coaches these contracts is just insane.

You gotta give Weis credit for building a truly awesome offense. Too bad the D couldn't keep up.

70 chip- HOLY CRAP!!!!! If that is you in your avatar you look just like Mike "the Mouth" Matasow, pro poker player! anyone ever told you that!

 

[Exposfan]

I don't truly see this as news.... the amount they are going to be paying him to NOT coach the team is more newsworthy.

Well, as the HEAD coach, you can give the same amount of credit for the offense that you can take away for the defense.

He is equally responsible for both.

And really, until Notre Dame lowers their academic standards they can continue to watch their brand get weaker and weaker. Notre Dame is nothing compared to where its legacy used to sit.

All I can say. WHAT THE HELL TOOK SO LONG.

Agreed.

I am aware of the responsibilities of a HEAD coach. I guess I should have said 'his D' instead of 'the D'.
