Those Fightin (racist) irish

I think that part of this new contract has in part to do with the fact that Coach Weis got ND back to a BCS bowl and a large payout in which they don't have to share the revenue with any conference affiliation. While Willingham had a good first year, he didn't take them to a BCS bowl. It also probably has to do with the fact that Weis is a ND alum, and they really are trying to make it to sweet for him to leave when the NFL calls. I really don't see black and white here at all.

except for the fact that this happened months ago, long before they were in a BCS bowl.

O.K, so I am a complete boob, and didn't see when this topic was posted, sorry for wasting everyone's time.

I don't know if it's racist so much as it's stupid. Weis doesn't deserve the extension now, and Willingham didn't deserve it then. A college coach needs to prove he can consistently recruit talent as well as being able to win football games. That is half of his job and he has never tried it.

After 6 months at my job, I had a good review and received an incremental raise. I was not given job security for 10 years and a tripled salary. Notre Dame football is a different planet, and often times, the people involved act that way.

F Notre Dame -- I don't need any more reasons to hate that program...and I'm 1/4 Irish.

you hate em cos they beat UM as much as OSU does lately
