The whole winning the national championship with arguably the most dominant season in college football history. Weis got his big extension for losing a close game to USC after he had already lost a close game to MSU that season.

I do understand the difference

However, an awful lot of the credit for the dominant season has been given to Joe Brady who left and a QB that had one of the best seasons a QB has ever had in the history of collage football. The OC that stayed was the same OC they had the season before Joe Brady and the offense wasn't great.
I just think it is an awful lot of money to give to a guy who has a history of being a good coach but not a great coach.
Some of your points may have merit, but

the comparison to Weis does not. 15-0 dominant national champions vs. 4-2 in his first season at ND. Maybe Orgeron will be able to continue the success like Saban or Swinney. Maybe he won't. But he's already in another universe from Weis.
OK, I'll buy that *
