"honoring a contract"
i've read plenty about Notre Dame failing to "honor its contract" with Willingham. not to pick nits, but Notre Dame's termination of Willingham does not mean that it will not honor its contract. not paying him for the final two years of the contract would constitute a failure to honor it. there is no indication that this is the university's intent.
i could reprint pages and pages of legal treatises about the concept of an efficient breach, but i guarantee there would be no mention of "honoring a contract" in that discussion. let there be no mistake: Tyrone Willingham will still be paid for those final two years of his contract.

Yeah, that argument peeves me to no end. Excuse me while I step onto my personal soapbox for a moment, but as someone who has never received a poor evaluation at work, I somehow managed to get canned or laid off from more than one job in my lifetime (so far). So when a coach who is getting the largest contract ever outside of Bob Stoops and Steve Spurrier is let go--but paid in full--due to poor performance, well, I'm not one to counsel him on how performance reviews work.
