Huggins might be in trouble, DUI is good, Bees are bad

[CYdTracked]

WVU should just fire him with cause and site the DUI and his comments that got him in trouble earlier as reasons to terminate his contract. Just cut the cord and move on and let the lawyers figure it out. Either way they may have to come to some settlement to part ways but just put to rest any ideas he has of being reinstated.

But if charges weren’t pressed against him, could they use that as cause for firing? Unless I’m mistaken, if charges aren’t pressed, it’s as if it never happened.

I think this gets into a sticky area. You would think they have all right to fire for cause. BUT, there have been lawsuits and cases where something like an addiction is deemed a health condition and the plaintiffs have won. I remember reading about them over the years but certainly can't point to what states or even when. No idea if that could apply to alcoholism in West Virginia.

With most likely having to make a new FB hire in 5 months, that AD is in a mess.

Just bees.

*I'm being sarcastic.

What's so bad about a cute little honeybee flying around helping plants have sex?

I'm all for bees. And birds.

A new statement and more details from Huggins.
Gotta love going with the formal "Robert" as well as "WVU Head Basketball Coach" in the heading
This isn't going away anytime soon

Not acknowledging what the "mistake" was that he's admitting doing.

Smart verbiage

The bodycam footage, which can be obtained via FOIA, likely has already made its way around the interwebs is enough. I recall a coach being fired for photos drinking with coeds.

Surely his speech to the team was recorded and can shine some light on the factuality of what the most recent letter states.

I would think that contract has some 'bringing negative attention to the school' type language. He's done that , well, 3 times now actually.

Ask Texas and Chris Beard

He isn’t getting his job back but if he’s correct that the university put out a statement on his behalf…he’s gonna get PAID.

He doesn't deserve any more payment, then, other than what comes to him from 'voluntarily resigning, which I think he did. He could have been fired, which he wasn't. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Huggins has enough money as it is. Either way, but especially the way his current lawyer is playing this, it is not going to go well for him.

As his reputation tumbles further into the crapper.

I wasn't resigning I just did every action over the course of a month of a person resigning is a hell of an argument by huggins

He also completely ignored the statement by West Virginia that his attorney had recently contacted them re his benefits that he was still getting because he resigned

This is honestly incredible. She legit has me seeing WVU in a slightly better light. She better get a president job somewhere after this smack down
