Rumor: Is this true?

[MountaineerWV]

Shane Lyons went in and told Huggins he was going to "retire" this year or next.

Just heard that rumor today. Any truth to that? If so, was this one of the reasons Lyons was let go?

 

[GeorgiaEER]

It wouldn't surprise me, he did force Mike Carey out.

 

[WVUALLEN]

Sounds like one of those crazy rumors.

 

[steeleer]

True.

The exact same way you “retire” a 16 year old horse.

 

[WVUALLEN]

Huggins will be here long after he's dead.

The Friday night at Pitt, Lyons was sitting with the MSN radio crew laughing it up with Huggins throughout the game.

Two days later, OUT!

 

[WVUALLEN]

You don't piss off the man.

 

[MountaineerWV]

You don't piss off the man.

Huggs had a meeting with the interim AD. I wonder if the idea was thrown out for Huggins to become AD next year, pick his own successor?

Possibly but I doubt it.
