“Declining performance of his teams”…
Fully agree. I felt like it seemed to me he was coasting in the role. More interested in life outside of basketball. We had zero high school commitments last year. I know we wanted to focus on the portal, or at least that was the excuse, but Huggins used to...
I am not in position to judge anyone. He has apologized. Was it sincere? Perhaps not, I don’t know. Does it really matter? He’s lost his job and his fate is sealed. No reason to take cheap shots in the media and no reason for keyboard warriors to continue attacking him. He did a lot of great...
I guess a good tar and feathering would be appropriate for some perhaps since apologizing and taking the steps he took is not good enough for some as punishment for his sins. Goodness, get over yourself.
I do not condone what Huggins did that ultimately cost him his job, but I’d bet there are a lot more people who would go to bat for Huggins and what he has done to positively influence their lives than Kendrick could ever hope for. His comments were embarrassing. The high road Huggins took in...
Rod dropped the lawsuit too.
We can’t complain that we can’t afford to fire an underperforming head coach then be complacent when leadership makes it cost more to fire him. It’s even worse when everyone is touting this as a victory lap of “taking a reduced buyout”, which I promise I won’t...
That is a fine and fair point. My statement still stands though. This contract is not a reduction of cost to WVU. I’m not a contracts person, I’m just looking at the math.
This is flat wrong. WVU cannot more easily buy out his contract now. Do the math.
Old contract/buyout:
2024 Remaining salary total 4.1 @100% + 4.2 @85% or 3.57 + 4.4 @85% or 3.74 = 11.41
2025 Remaining salary total 4.2 @85% or 3.57 + 4.4 @85% or 3.74 = 7.31
2026 remaining salary total 4.4 @85%...
I’m not spinning negativity, I’m simply saying the narrative that his buyout is lower is misleading at best, because per dollar left on his newly extended contract, his buyout total is higher, not lower. He would walk with more money, not less.
