Swell timing Oregon State!!! Six weeks after the season ends.

I wonder if they had a deal in the works and just waited until it was finalized to pull the trigger.

They wanted to let him get through the White House correspondents' dinner first.

Robinson has done about the same level of quality job as his Brother In Law, but we can't fire the B-I-L now.

Thought this was funny from ESPN: "The Oregonian reported in March that Robinson would receive a buyout of $4 million, which is 10 times the annual salary of President Obama, who makes $400,000 per year."

That is only until he leaves office, writes a book with a big 7 figure advance, then commands 6 figure speaking fees....and you know he'll get that.

I actually didn't think he did too terrible of a job at Oregon State. They were a sub top 250 team when he got there, and they're arguably a top 150 team now. They're still bad, but they're not nearly as bad as they were when he first got there.
