Not sure where you come up with that piece of speculation
It certainly would be odd for White to have been told by his boss to extend Davie when a year later that same boss accepted White's recommendation to fire him.
When White arrived at ND, the Athletic department was a mess. There were a lot of poorly structured/worded contracts and very sloppy practices that were the result of being run by a guy who knew nothing about colleges athletics.
One of the 1st things White did was re-structure/re-write many of the head coaches contracts. One of the costs of that was having to extend Davie (he wasn't the only head coach to get his contract rewritten) because Davie wouldn't sign a new contract without an extension and White wasn't going to fire him at that point. The contract Davie signed actually made it easier/cheaper to fire him than his former contract.
While White isn't exactly a forward thinking/aggressive guy and didn't have a clue about hiring coaches, he did clean up many of the really bad practices inside the athletic department. It was particularly rife with a lot of nepotism as well as a nasty habit of recycling coaches into jobs they weren't qualified for. Quite a few guys ended up as an "Assistant Athletic Director" that was more a ceremonial role than functional. While some of that is typical of many academic institutions, it was particularly bad at ND, almost as if a sort of tenure existed inside the ND Athletic department.

Yes, even for one year but ND didn’t want to let Boob go w/o a parachute of some short. He didn’t
include it in his original contract and ND for some reason or the other thought if could be bad press. It’s all about image....
White was an expert at giving parachutes. Just ask Fat Chuck.

That was all ND from day one. They felt so lucky to get him and it was a great sales job on
his part. He presented his” decided schematic advantage” in such a way the folks above White said pay him! Another swing and a miss.....

Perfect storm with 2005 USC game, supposed NFL interest and Weis being a “Notre Dame man”...
In reality his “genius” was the result of Brady and videotaping...
Weis is a world class con man...and White was an easy mark.
Also, he hired Mediocre Mike Brey, who has given us 21 years of mediocre basketball.

How Brey keeps his job is a mystery.
