Did Oregon State Hire Failure Head Coach at the Request of Barack Obama?

The same year Obama took office, Michelle’s brother got a job as head basketball coach of Oregon State with a massive $1.3 million salary and a ten year contract.

The coach has been a disaster. He is so bad that Oregon State is now going to pay him $4 million just to leave!

Did Craig Robinson get the position as head coach solely because he is Barack Obama’s brother-in-law?
