Now I'm not personally big on sports, but it did interest me to see that OSU just fired its head basketball coach after a several-year losing streak. We can argue this is unfair, that he should have had more chances to improve, that he recently had changed whatever he had done wrong in past years, etc.
This is how things work in the big world: Top people who don't meet goals are replaced.
Did this head coach have a formal evaluation before being let go? (Didn't sound like there was time for one.) I know, he didn't apparently have the same type of employment contract held by Robinson, but that's not the point.
In the real world, when the leader doesn't get the performance out of those she/he leads (for whatever reason), the leader is replaced.

What was his record in the Pac-10 this year? 0-6 and what is his overall record since he was a head coach?
Please, he was not a CEO he was a coach. I would have fired him long time ago if I was the College president. Please do not comment on Sports if you do not know much about it.
Big difference between "coach" and "superintendent". Maybe we should look up the meaning and define their job description.
I don't think there is such a big difference: An effective superintendent needs to be a good coach to district staff.
Interesting you didn't think that when people were held accountable by Mr. Robinson last year. He didn't even fire them though he could have.
I'm not sure he could have. I wouldn't call it "held accountable." I assume you are talking about Bo Yates. Not everyone sees it the same way.
Coach Jay John will be receiving $1.1 million for his firing. That's what school's do when they fire a coach for simply losing games. Coach John worked hard and did the job he was hired to do, but not did get the results the OSU community wanted to see. Mr. Robinson can be "fired" uner the same guidelines, just be prepared to pay him close to $500,000 for that opportunity.
