Bob Huggins

[Lobot]

WVU has to play Kansas today in the Big XII tourney. If they lose,I think you can start the clock on Bob Huggins career. This is just a hunch on my part but WVU has a new AD who seemingly doesn't want to put up with Bob. I think the AD was probably behind the firing of Larry Harrison. I guess we'll find out soon enough.

no mentioning of HUGGS

If you had Huggs firing Larry Harrison on your bingo card today, congrats. Go play the lottery.

I'm trying to learn more but appears there was a post game argument of some sort. Huggins with "we wish him well in his future endeavors" is not something you say to a 30 year associate.

It is expected that Huggs may retire after this season. WVU has started 10-6 and 0-4 in league play.

Here's Larry Harrison's statement: https://twitter.com/lharrison31/stat...798465/photo/1

Was Bob the AD? There is almost always someone over the head of basketball or football coach, President/Chancelor, or BoT.

No he wasn’t the AD but Bob is Bob and generally gets what he wants as coach . We saw that power struggle play out at UC a couple of times both with Rick Taylor and Mike Thomas/Zimpher

WVU has a new AD in house and it's looking like the guy is going to push Bob out. Smoking Musket on Twitter seems to think the order came from over Bob's head which is something that didin't previously exist at WVU.

Well good luck trying to find someone that will go there & be as successful as Coach Huggins.

He turns 70 this year, and hasn’t been in the best health for 20 years, with a pacemaker implanted.

Unfortunately, X has had only one decent man as a coach. It is also unfortunate that Skip Prosser has passed away.

West Virginia is playing at Xavier. Bob Huggins was asked a lot about the rivalry, his memories. "I don't have any good thoughts on Xavier whatsoever. Absolutely not."

Nice to hear - finally... though I've always felt weird about active coaches getting in
