Steve Cleveland was fired this morning at Fresno State. No real surprise here.

4 straight losing seasons. Amazing he made it this long. I thought after they had high expectations going into 09-10, and they had a losing year that would be enough to send him packing.

Actually, too bad for Cleveland. I don't think he's a bad coach. He chose to try to clean up a mess left by a predecessor
(who, as I recall it) left a stench every place he went, starting at Long Beach, on through UNLV and on to Fresno. Still,
after four years, you would think things would be on the improve in Fresno, and clearly, they were not.

I wouldn't feel too bad for him. It doesn't sound like he was actually fired. He was relieved of his coaching duties and given another position within the AD at Fresno State.

But with much lower salary, no doubt.

Well, if he was given another position, that is good. Better than just being kicked out onto the street. I have no idea,
of course, whether there was any time left on his contract requiring Fresno State to continue to pay him. If so, giving
him another position at least avoids the problem Hill will have at the U of U due to the dismissal of Boylen. Still,
fired versus relieved of position sounds to me like a distinction without a difference.
