[T]here is documentation for [fired Notre Dame football coach Charlie Weis] to have received approximately $8.7 million since he left the school. That figure could rise to close to $19 million once the school reports its payments through the end of his contract in 2015.
Since leaving Notre Dame, Weis has kept working as a high-profile and highly paid coach. He was the Kansas City Chiefs’ offensive coordinator in 2010, the University of Florida’s offensive coordinator in 2011 and in December 2011 was hired as the University of Kansas’ head coach.
His contract with Florida was scheduled to pay him $875,000 for the 2011 season. Kansas gave him a five-year deal that is scheduled to pay him $2.5 million for the 2012 season.
