[QUOTE="The Bell Tolls for Thee, post: 129523736, member: 1812660"] I assume he is saying that wanting to fire Huggs after this season for not winning the Big XII is the same as those not wanting to keep Holgs around for not winning the Big XII. This argument neglects that Huggins has a proven tract record as head coach of a basketball program, has won the Big East with WVU, took WVU to the Final Four, and while hasn't won the Big XII he has steadily improved from the poor season a few years ago, and lastly was in the Big XII race 2/3 of the way through the season. Holgs has never been a head coach, had a so-so season in the Big East (Recall we got trounced by a poor Syracuse team and lost to a middling Louisville team. WVU was lucky to win the Big East that year. but to his credit did deliver a great bowl win), has had 3 middling seasons and one awful season in the Big XII without ever really being in the league race after the mid point in Big XII play. Bottom line, if Holgs had some accomplishments as a football HC at other stops or in a previous season for WVU, he would have some leeway. However, 4.5 seasons in and Holgs has only achieved average seasons and in my opinion hasn't given me much hope that we are moving toward more than just that. [/QUOTE]
