Charlie Weis has ultimately cleared nearly $19 million to not coach Notre Dame.

The school made a final payment of $2,054,742 to Weis in December of 2015 as part of the former head coach’s buyout after being fired following the 2009 season, according to tax forms released Monday. That payment was the final one of six installments (he was Notre Dame’s highest-paid athletics employee in 2014. Seriously.), which followed an initial payment of $6,638,403 after his firing.

The final tally, when adding it all up, is $18,966,867.

19 mil that probably could've lured Urban Meyer at some point

I wouldn't have paid it. My stance would have been fired for poor performance. Let him take it to court, and maybe settle.

Curious timing of this leak.

Swarbrick making maneuvers to make his own shite show on his plate look better in this context.

That was the greatest hype extension of all-time.

You almost beat the two-time defending national champions...here's 10 years and $30 million!

Talk about a rush to judgment.

I wish I had been in the room to see the faces of the Kansas brass when he admitted during a live press conference he was recruiting players at Kansas by straight up calling his current players a "pile of crap" who could be beaten out by anyone worth a damn.

Charlie's agent had a decided schematic advantage.
