Thanks to money garnered from apparel deals or media appearances or camps, Charlie Weis ultimately has been paid much more to coach Notre Dame than Tyrone Willingham is getting paid not to coach Notre Dame. But in terms of base compensation alone, the former Irish coach still outpaced the current Irish coach in 2007-08, according to the latest tax documents provided by the school. According to Notre Dame's Form 990 tax report from '07-'08, Willingham earned $650,000 in base compensation as part of his settlement agreement upon his 2004 firing -- more than the $521,750 paid to Weis in the same year.

True, BUT he ONLY eats at campus buffets, fast food franchises and clips coupons to save money on eats. Contrary to popular opinion, he does NOT eat 3-meals-per-day,but ONLY when he's hungry. hmmmmmmmmmm.................

I'm just glad they've moved on, Ty is now the special teams coach for San Francisco of the UFL league.

I hear it was his dream job. Cuz we know that high school, college and the NFL was out of his league!

I'm just glad he's gone!

Ms. Whelan is cute. Is that a soccer ball or a volleyball she's holding? Do you let just any hot female athlete pose for you, or do they have to sleep with you first?

As to the thread - racism is wrong. Lying is wrong. Arrogance is wrong. Eating young children (or any other **** sapien, whether human or Aggie) is wrong. Does that pretty much cover current and recent ND coaches?

May norte dam burn in the lake of fire. May GOD spit norte dam out and send they to hel-l. This called FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

1 - Based on your semi-coherent sentence structure, it's send "them", not "they" (objective pronoun - maybe you should re-take 4th grade, or maybe find a better home to get home schooled in).

2 - This is a CFB thread. While I respect your freedon of speech, this is an inappropriate venue for it. I suspect FOX News or maybe Jerry Falwell would have a better message board for your particular venom. So would you kindly go the f*** away?

Its a volleyball but she's not an athlete. She's a modestly successful australian actress and model. I just used the pic because she's holding a volleyball so there is some association with sports.

Well, that, and, can you believe this is David Spades girlfriend. Yes, THAT David Spade.

This is an odd if not rambling and incoherent statement.

Methinks this poster did not care for the recent decision by ND to allow a certain speaker at their commencement ceremonies.

But hey, to each his own I suppose. Just take it to a forum that cares. Now Buh-Bye. As is Buy and Bye.
