A class act would be for Huggins to accept responsibility for his actions something he hasn't done to date.
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.
What exactly has he apologized for? Maybe if he takes the step and admits he is wrong people would forgive. BTW KK knows him better than you so I'm sure he is in much better position to judge his character than you are.
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 things for the school, the state, and for the kids that played for him. A lot more than you have and ever will I would bet.
Megadonor Kendrick on Bob Huggins: 'His future with WVU sports is totally at an end' - WV MetroNews
Today, following a season helmed by interim Coach Josh Eilert, WVU announced a national search will commence.
“Declining performance of his teams”…
"70 years old means his era is over." C'mon, man. He's just a youngster. Just ask DD down in Huntington.
Yeah probably so, but to not have 1 kid in high school committed. Heck we have a kid committed right now don’t we? And we don’t even have a coach.
He has never taken responsibility for his actions, so he has not sincerely apologized. It doesn't take a rocket scientist or keyboard warrior to figure that out. Maybe if Huggins had people in his life that held him accountable instead of enabling him his life would have been better. I'm glad the university's most visible booster isn't one of them.
Yes, I appreciate the good things Huggins accomplished at WVU. I wish he had gone out better. They likely would’ve named the court after him and relied on his input post retirement. Now, all that’s likely gone. I’m not dismissing his actions, but you’re right, someone should’ve stepped in earlier instead of enabling him. He needed to be held accountable. His personality is probably too much for anyone to have reasonably persuaded him to get help, but I wish someone could have. I have no doubt he loves WV and WVU. It should’ve and could’ve went much better from both WVU and Huggins. I agree with Kendrick, WVU was likely too lenient.
Yes, too lenient. Has WVU been covering for Huggins alcoholism for years? Did it affect his coaching? Especially the last 5 years? These are valid questions. And Kendrick was right, it happened at Cincinnati and they fired him.
For sure, not. He'd need a drink just to walk in the Cam. The place gives WV coaches the jitters. They've never won there.
You miss my point. Kendrick doesn't think WVU was too lenient on the alcohol issue. Or at least that is a far secondary concern for him. He thinks WVU were too lenient for Huggins' f@gs comment on the radio. And that is why he can be right and wrong at the same time. Huggins did things that had actual potential to harm others with his alcoholism and DUI, which is why I say on that alone he shouldn't have had the opportunity to continue coaching WVU. Kendrick thinks words some people might find mean on the radio is actual harm and was enough to fire him.
Kendrick is a business man. WVU athletics is also a business that he invests in. While I’m no way supporting homosexual behavior or that lifestyle, it’s really not appropriate for the face of your program to degrade the gay community. It would be foolish to think only straight kids play college basketball. That stuff affects recruiting, donations, fan support, and the overall program image. It’s ok to think that stuff or say that behind closed doors, but not on a national radio show. And it’s debatable if Huggins was sober versus drunk on that radio show. He sounded intoxicated. We can agree to disagree, but I agree with Kendrick on this. And I don’t always agree with him on everything.
Wanna know what’s a kick in the balls? Setting the school record for Ls
That’s fine if he does. His love for WV and WVU doesn’t give him a pass. That’s been the problem all along
How? I have a hard time understanding how the people of the state with the most junkies in America can turn their back on Bob Huggins.... I think they most likely Enabled him but would like to know how.
Check back in with the righteous soon. Were 1 year through probably 5-10 years of losing basketball, year 1 school record for losses, will probably be broken again next year as what little talent that stuck around for this mess leaves the program. Our Basketball alums are now disenfranchised by a program they no longer recognize, and the president who has wrecked the academic side of the school financially holds the purse strings for fixing it.
And also, why are these fans clinging to Huggins? He isn’t irreplaceable. Trouble aside, he’s not been winning the last 5 years. WVU and Huggins both needed a change.
