    Charlie Weis took Notre Dame to the Cleaners

    Federal tax documents show that Notre Dame made a termination payment of $6,638,403 to former head coach Charlie Weis sometime after he and the school parted ways. And that was just an initial termination payment; the documents also reveal that Weis will receive smaller annual payments through December, 2015 as part of his severance package. So, for posting a 35-27 record as the Irish coach, ole Charlie will receive in excess of $7 million above and beyond what he was paid in salary for 5 years. Weis now makes $765,000 as offensive coordinator for the Florida Gators....pocket chance for what he took the Irish for.

    Once you get that kind of money, isnt it all gravy? I would think so anyway. Don't feel sorry for the Irish. Screw 'em.

    Of all schools, I would have thought Notre Dame would have been smarter than getting $$hammered like this.

    Ole Charlie snowed them bigtime.....seems to me some president and AD should be accountable.

    Another good thing to hate about Charlie. I'm surprised some crazed ND alumni hasn't shot him.

    Wreck, this guy was not and will never be head coaching material.

    He is however, a good offensive coordinator, big difference and it will be interesting to see his influence on Brantley the QB. This kid can throw the ball and was miscast last year. I wonder, even think Florida will surprise some folks this year. Meyer didn't leave the kitchen empty. Don't write off the Florida Gators my friends.

    They are a bunch of damn fools for paying him for nothing. Hiring him might have been a **** up but paying him for nothing is a bigger **** up. They should have kept him thru his contract term. It's not like they are setting the world on fire now. Not to mention, **** those cocky bastards! They deserve the screwing that they are getting.

    Weis should be sending some of that $$$$ Coach Belichik's way. He is the reason Weis got hired and received such a lucrative offer.
