Rooting out incompetence when it's identified isn't a negative message. Does this mean that coaches aren't unfairly treated in certain instances? Of course not. Look at Oakland.
Player contracts, however, are different story and are often a joke.
I think you're understating the importance of the business aspect of pro sports. It's common to see the guy with the big contract throw his weight around b/c he understands the organization's financial commitment in him and the sway that this holds.

Yes. I agree completely about accountability.
But we've gotten away from the original argument though, which was the idea that they can't let Herm coach his last year because it would be "lame duck". I have absolutely no problem at all with firing Herm because of accountability. He deserves that. But it's not a situation where he's either fired or his contract is extended because of the "lame duck" last year of the contract. That was the point I was trying to make. And now I feel like I'm just being argumentative, so I'm going to stop here...
