Bob Huggins

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.

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.

Well he is around 70 today with a history of a bad heart. Sometimes being away from all the stress is good and one gets used to it. I am not sure if Huggs could. I also wonder if any network would take a chance on him as a commentator. Time will tell.

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

I am a life long Bob Huggins fan, and always will be regardless of what happened in Pittsburg yesterday... I'm guessing he had no choice to resign, or be fired as early as Monday.. Hopefully he'll take a year or two off to get his life back in order... He loves to coach, so hopefully Bob will land at a smaller school some day..

I'm a life long Huggins fan. So it's really hard to see this happen. However, he brought this on himself. I hope he gets the help he needs & enjoys his retirement.

Really hate seeing Huggs rep ruined. He had a good coaching run, but his personal not so much. I have no reason to talk though. I will remember his great coaching and the thrills he gave the cats.

Sad to see it end this way. Seems very similar to what happened at UC. He self destructed both times, and that’s the saddest part. He turns 70 before the upcoming season starts, hopefully he can concentrate on his own well being now.

National media reporting Huggins has told his team he is resigning.

If Huggs is not the coach this year, what options do incoming recruits, transfers, and current team members have under NCAA rules?

Will be interesting. When the radio stuff happened the new guys weren’t on campus yet. Now they are. So they’ve already transferred. Might need waivers to leave for another school.

I have wondered if drinking didn't have something to do with the interview on 700 WLW on the Willie show. I remember from my younger partying days that lack of judgement and loose lips tend to come from drinking even though I don't think he was slurring his words from what I can remember.

I've had this same concern tbh.

Hopefully his family gets involved a bit but in the end Bob has to decide to ask for help on his own. If he doesn’t think he needs help, he won’t succeed at recovery.
