I honestly don't care what you think about Ty as a coach - whether he should've been fired or not - whether it was because of race or not - you canNOT think that he got a raw deal when you read this.
[Notre Dame] paid Willingham $650,000 from July 1, 2006, to June 30, 2007, as part of its settlement with the current University of Washington coach after Notre Dame fired him on Nov. 30, 2004. The amount of money is the same the school paid to him in compensation as reported on the 05-06 tax form.
That's right. Ty made $650-freaking-grand last year. From Notre Dame. You think Charlie was paid too much for the 3 wins his team produced? (For the record, I do.) Ty coached another team at another school after being so bad at coaching and recruiting that he got canned, and got paid more than Chuck. On TOP of his UW salary. How about them apples?
If I'm Ty, I'm laughing all the way to the bank on this one. If only I could be so bad at my job that I'd get fired, and then get paid over half a mil to take another job somewhere else (where I would still suck). What. A. Life.
Someone fell off the lucky tree and struck every branch on the way down.
That's right people. My ND contract was #1!

Why would you delete my messages? This gets damn old. Mark Allen. Oooh – it’s Mark Allen. Do you know me – or, are you listening to crap from people who never met me? My messages were a contribution and there wasn’t anything wrong with it. Remember BEW and Sir John have NEVER met me and do not know me. If they are the one’s who caused you to do this, consider that.
