Seems a little harsh to can your all-time winningest coach after 1 bad year

An arbitrator will determine that.

Link? I'd expect there to be a term in the contract that requires OSU to pay a set amount if Gundy is fired before

It's more than that, a lot of bad PR, such as the drunk driving thing.
