Oregon State fires Obama’s brother-in-law as basketball coach

Oregon State fires Obama’s brother-in-law as basketball coach. “Robinson, who is the brother-in-law of President Barack Obama, went 94-105 in six seasons with the Beavers, failing to make the NCAA Tournament.” And his record is a whole lot better than his brother-in-law’s, who wasn’t fired in 2012. Go figure.

  • How dare those racist bastards fire him for under performing. Look for Holder, charlatan and jackass all to be holding a presser real soon.

  • is this not the same brother that was to be fired a couple of years ago due to
    financial problems with the school, than miraculously federal funds were made in abundance to the school. Wonderful how having michelle Antoinette as a sister can divert tax dollars, but I suppose that is better than sending the monies to terrorist like her husband does.

  • His record was below .500 overall, 94-105, & in the conference, 39-69. Results matter in major college revenue sports, unlike most other parts of the college world, & he wasn't up to the task. But he will be paid a few million to go away, & he will coach again somewhere else. Outside of who he's related to, this is a typical college sports story.
