The final tally for Notre Dame's buyout of Charlie Weis: 18.97M
was in the shape of a calf, which was then shoved down Charlies pants as he walked out the door.
Gold indeed.
had been saved for the scaffolding, or some good judgement, or some fucking responsibility.
that fucking jackass killed that kid.
They have figured all almost everyway to srew it up over the last however many years it has been since they ran Holtz out of town. Truly amazing.

You could always count on Charlie Weis to do something stupid to prove how smart he was.
Like throwing the ball on third and long against our 5-star DB instead of running down the clock to a few seconds left in the game in 2009.
It was incomplete of course, and it gave Tate enough time to engineer a drive for the game winning TD.
Miss you Big Guy.

How long do you think this system is sustainable? I can't believe all these universities get played by these agents so hard that they end up paying useless chumps like Charlie Weis millions of dollars to play golf and eat hamburgers and not coach football. It's unreal.
And of course everytime I see a story like this I have to mention that that amount of money could solve a lot of problems for a lot of people. Mainly, scholarships for students or paying the players.
I'm suprised the smaller, less powerful schools haven't banded together to demand a pay cap for college coaches to slow the arms race and even the playing field a little. $1M/year sounds pretty resaonable to me. Would like to see a number of state legislatures try something like this too. It's not like college athletics, especially football and basketball, will get worse or become less popular if schools like Kentucky can't pay John Calipari $8M/year. $1 million should be the cap and that's plenty.
Good riddance. Is I am sure what they are saying.
Just in time to start paying Kelly.
