My sympathies to Ryan and his family :snob:
Haha, seriously. They must have slipped a roofie in his drink or something.

Let's review: ND signed Weis to an extension valued at at least $30 MM in 2005: Notre Dame extends Weis through 2015 - College Football - ESPN
So now they're willing to let him go for at least $21 MM and sign another coach for God knows how much?
Good for Gruden, and good for ND if they pull it off, but I'd be shocked if they could absorb that kind of financial hit.
No way he retires if he can work. He wants to make a LOT of money, because he has a learning-disabled kid to provide for.
charlie's nd contract provided enough money for charlie, his children and his gradchildren for life.
That being said, charlie likes coaching.
Btw, i don't expect charlie to come back. He remembers how hard-nosed the patriots were about give him what he considered reasonable pay when he was thinking of leaving. There is no particular reason for him to come back. He can make plenty of money elsewhere in at least as good situation.
Read the other article on this page about Weis.
They are not on the hook to him for much. College extensions are not valued the same way as the pros. In college, the coaches get paid a smaller amount as salary (in Weis's case, he gets $500k a year) and then they make the rest of their package through speaking fees, coaches clinics and especially a clothing deal, as with Nike.
ND would be on the hook for $500k and 6 more years.
GRUDEN TO SOUTH BEND?
Once the Bucs crashed and burned and missed the playoffs, we suggested that Notre Dame ultimately could choose to dump coach Charlie Weis and hire Tampa coach Jon Gruden.
Gruden is now available, and CFT’s John Taylor floated the possibility of Gruden and the Golden Dome on Friday night.
There’s a published report in a “real” newspaper that puts some meat on this bone, hinting that Weis could get the heave-ho after he signs his recruiting class.
If it happens, maybe Gruden would ask to change the “F” word in the team’s “Fighting Irish” nickname.

What the hell is this supposed to mean

It's Foolorios attempt at humor by pointing out Gruden's love of dropping the F-bomb... although usually humor requires it to at least make some sense.What the hell is this supposed to mean

Isn't it just lovely to see the JEST screw up once again. Rats Mangini spent three years converting to a two-gap 3-4. Now in comes Rex Ryan, the only guy who did not tell the JEST to "Get Stuffed".
He subscribes to, and will convert to a gambling, blitizing, one gap 4-3, for which the JEST have exactly ZERO players. It will only take about 3-4 years, when he will be fired and...
Don't you just love organized, premeditated, self-inflicted, stupidity by your opponents?
Don't tell NEM..
OTOH this sounds really farfetched and the sign of an overactive imagination of a scribe... that is a lot of moving around.
