I can't wait until Notre Dame has to buy out Weis' contract.

SOUTH BEND, Indiana -- It took Notre Dame football coach Charlie Weis only seven games to earn a new contract.

Notre Dame has signed Weis to a new 10-year deal, the school announced Saturday.

The deal will make him the highest paid coach in college football, according to ESPN's Chris Mortensen. Sources pegged the extension between $30 and $40 million. One source said it was closer to the high end of that range.

Ty Willingham had to have had a major wtf? moment when that happened.  Ty went 10-3 his first year @ ND.  Weis?  9-3 with no wins over opponents ranked at the end of the season (beat three "ranked" opponents that ended with a combined 17-17 record).  And then he became the richest coach in all of College football.

unreal.

ty got a nice win today too.

i think ND hired too quickly (ty) and were never in love with the idea of him, no matter how good his records were.

he was the hire after the o'leary scandal i think.

True.  I still think he was a better hire than Frank Martin.
