    No network would hire him. He insulted the LGBT people. Look at Thom Brennaman,

      Something interesting to bring up is whether or not he will still make his "donation" to Xavier if he hasn't already. He had to do that at the time to keep his job but now that is a moot point. He probably hates Xavier as much as I do so I would tell them to pound salt if I was him.

        I would think that WVU anticipated this and covered it in his contract. Welcome to retirement Coach. He should have plenty of money. How long has he been making over $1 Million a year? And, for beer money, he can get Social Security.

          He has his State of Ohio pension plan as well.

            Agree, age is somewhat a factor, but his health would be more of a concern... He's been overweight forever, and I honestly thought he had curved drinking back. I thought after the incident at UC, Bob had learned his lesson on heavy drinking, I guess not. He's the same age as Pitino. and Rick has landed another somewhat high profile job after his checkered past.. I would think if Bob ever wanted to coach again, a smaller school would be willing to take a chance.. He should probably take a few years off and get his life in order first.

                  I'm not sure if it's been discussed in the past but why hasn't Huggins simply employed a personal driver??? Seems like a valuable investment and time saver regardless if you're impaired or not. It's become fairly common practice amongst high-profile/paid coaches, celebrities and wall street/finance/CEO types.

                    No kidding! Would have saved him a lot of headache and heartache over the years!

                      What about Huggins taking a gig as an assistant coach to mentor a young head coach? Do you all think that a situation like that could work for Huggins?

                        I don't because he is used to calling the shots and being the face of the coaching staff to the kids. A consulting role, with occasional practice visits, but no recruiting or official staff capacity is more suited to tapping into his talents. If he does this for a year, I can see someone giving him another shot to keep coaching with the contract including a driver.

                        Edit: I actually think this could work for Bob at a school other than WVU or UC. Not sure a coach/school would take the chance.

                        Red and Black are more of an Attitude than merely a color combination.

                              Mad at who? He put the university in a position of no choice. Her tirade should be directed at her father for such a bad decision. He got caught this time, but how many times did he not? Every time puts not only his life, but every other drivers on the same road at risk. That girl needs to grow up.
