Notre Dame has signed Weis to a new 10-year deal, the school announced Saturday.
The deal will make him the highest paid coach in college football, according to ESPN's Chris Mortensen. Sources pegged the extension between $30 and $40 million. One source said it was closer to the high end of that range.
Weis originally had signed a six-year contract through the 2010 season when he was hired last December. This new deal takes effect next season and runs through 2015.

What the hell were they thinking?!
This is why you dont sign the unprovens to high salary long term GM and coaching jobs.
Weis has never even been a head coach before. Just a very successful offensive cordinator for the patriots.

He had it all working for him. No doubt about it. Kind of sucks because I think his heart was in the right place and truly wanted to make ND an elite football team again.
When they played USC tough when USC had Bush and Lienart (it can be argued that ND should have won the game) I expected huge things out of ND for their future. I'm sure many of us did. To see what's going on now is a bit suprising.
