Coach fired for "shameless" win over rival team

I think you are right but I'm not sure if that was right. I mean, it may have been a nice gesture for the school to apologize or to call the game a forfit but don't they hire and pay a coach on the hopes that he will bring them a winning season. I would agree that school sports really should be more about teaching skills and teamwork and other good things but they don't give out trophies for that. I think it's kind of over the top to fire the guy; ususally they get fired for not winning. And they didn't seem to have a policy for a situation like this.
