Notre Dame Pays Willingham AND Brey More Than Weis In Base Pay

Hopefully you caught the story we broke yesterday about Charlie Weis' salary and how, at least in base compensation, Notre Dame paid Tyrone Willingham more than Weis for the second straight year.

The school paid Willingham $650,000 as a settlement for his firing Nov. 30, 2004 and we were curious just how much he'll be making between Notre Dame and his current job as the head coach of the University of Washington.

Time to do some math.

On top of the $650,000 he received from Notre Dame from July 1, 2006 to June 30, 2007, he'll also receive a guaranteed annual compensation of $1,340,736 from Washington in '07-'08. His base salary is $437,760.

Willingham could also earn a maximum of $402,500 in possible incentives and a maximum deferred compensation of $301,250.

In other numbers, Willingham will make a minimum of $1,990,736 between the two schools if you combine his guaranteed salary for this coming season and what Notre Dame paid him during its latest 990 tax form filing.

And how, exactly, does one become a college football coach again?
