The way accountability works is that you have someone at the top who creates accountability at all levels down through the organisation. The Columbus situation on and off the ice is quite revealing about the failures of the organization in this regard.

People trot out accountability as a cliche response to point the finger at the person they've decided they don't like.
In most work environments, personal accountability is what drives success.
Professional sports is a unique environment because the players are the most highly paid employees with the most scarce skill set. But ultimately they are also the ones that need to hold themselves and each other accountable.
A decision on whether or not the GM should be fired has to be made on a far broader and deeper evaluation than "WELL SOMEONE HAS TO BE ACCOUNTABLE!!!!".
