WVU since Brown arrived and Huggins began the long decline became a bottom dwelling athletic dept in a conference with the likes of OU and Texas and some other powerful programs like Texas Tech and Baylor and Kansas bb, Baylor, TCU, K State, OK State football which are often excellent to very good.

Now WVU is about to be a bottom dweller in a conference with Houston, Cincinnati and UCF because no one at the top cares.

Whats worse is there is no bright light on the horizon, this may go on indefinitely.

WVU is not alone. Huggins probably won't coach many more years, but he'll be the coach of WVU for as long as HE chooses to do so. If you think you have issues now, get rid of Huggins and see how that ends up going for you.

WVU is one of around 100 programs that are all eventually going to be negatively impacted by the massive changes in college sports. We all know what those are. NIL, Transfer Portal, and most of all. . . woke policies entering the fields/courts.

It's going to get worse.

It's possible WVU sports simply aren't for you. Fill your life with 'other things to do'. Do you have any special talents? Woodworking, landscaping, home repair, masonry, hiking? There has to be better things for you to do on Saturday afternoons than sitting at home being miserable following WVU sports.

Dumbass.

Whatever it takes to get rid of your kind.

A: Bob Huggins is not the only basketball coach in America. Every other university manages to find successful coaches, no doubt WVU can do the same. They had success before he came back. If someone isn’t getting the job done then it’s time to allow someone else the opportunity.

B: Schools like Tulane, Kansas State, TCU, Utah and many others illustrate the fake news idea that a school such as WVU cannot be as successful athletically as virtually anyone if the right staff is put together. Racism may be a problem but “woke”? Has nothing to do with any athletic issues whatsoever. Only a racist would suggest it does. It’s about coaching, providing an atmosphere for athletes where they are comfortable and can win if they work hard. Not stopping them from having basic human rights.

C: Pretty clear you aren’t a fan of WVU athletics, you are a fan of radical right wing agendas which have nothing to do with WVU sports. WVU has been very successful in both football and basketball in the past so it’s not that it cannot happen at WVU, it’s that some are trying to sell that WVU is “less than” someone else and trying to get buy in for the benefit of unqualified coaches or coaches whose time has passed them by. A handout to them for ? Entitlement? Thought you righties were against that?

I’m not a fan of a specific coach, I have been a fan of the programs. You obviously care not about the state of the programs, but giving welfare to the tune of millions to specific individuals. Perhaps you need to step away and stop defending nonsense with nonsense.

Excellent rebuttal post.

My two points stand. Huggins will be the coach at WVU as long as he wants to be the coach at WVU. NIL, transfer portal, and woke policies will continue to hold WVU down, as it will with 100 other schools, including some blue blood schools. I didn't speak about Neal Brown, and can't form an opinion on him, since all I know about him are what I read on this forum and other social media sites.

I don't mind being called a racist. 99.9642% of the world's population is racist in one form or another.

At some point Huggins will not be retained. At some point lack of results will decline revenue and fan support and those running things will see their bottom line reduced to a point they are no longer comfortable with.

There is no such thing as “woke” policy at WVU and it has nothing to do with the actual good ole boy system which has reduced WVU athletics to its current levels. I’ve already pointed out success at numerous other schools less advantaged than WVU financially which have had far more athletic success recently ( as in since Brown arrived). Which shows your right wing nonsense isn’t holding WVU athletics back, it’s simply bad coaching. WVU has years of results from Huggins and years of results from Brown illustrating the problems there.

If the management decides to continue on with the privileged entitlement policies that pay coaches not getting it done millions while the AD withers, then the fan base and support will wither and WVU won’t be successful again.

Most people aren’t racist, only less than 30% of America is, your ilk is just radically trying to enforce your racist agenda on the majority with criminality, lies, disinformation and violence. And no, it’s not ok.

Buck not sure how politics got into your post. But I do have an observation - Koening's firing seemed more about not investigating fully the situation than finding out the real story. About the same time something like this happened at (I believe Utah) a full investigation found that the accuser exaggerated the situation - the Utah coach remained. Another thing I found interesting about your post you indicated you thought anyone who call something "woke" was racist. That reminds me of the old Twitter - when anyone who questioned "authority" was banned.

If will be a miracle if WVU finds another Huggins. Those who want him to get off the stool permanently will be the first to wail about the next coach NOT being another Huggins!

Huggins will never be fired. He will be here as long as he intends to be. Get over it FRAUD!

Huh? The full story was revealed. Koeining made offensive and racist statements to players in his official capacity while on the job on campus facilities. 100% against federal and state law and WVU policy. What do you not understand about that?

Then you wonder where the “ politics” came from? The poster i responded to whining about “ woke” which is a radical righty fake problem. Woke means understanding racism and its repurcussions. Making it negative is the radical rights deflection from reality talking point bs and making something non political political. The idea that if players get paid like everyone else does and can move around like everyone else does is somehow bad and an attack on someone other group and is driven by ” political correctness ( read non racist) politics rather than it’s just common sense and basic human rights. Nothing political about it.

WVU was successful immediately before Huggins arrived. The idea of giving him a lifetime position regardless of results is entitlement. He is not entitled to be coach for life regardless of results and lots of other coaches every year take teams from schools at all levels and all sorts of communities into the NCAAs and deep into the rounds. Huggins is not the only coach in the world that can coach WVU to success, and right now and during several recent seasons he isn’t doing even that.

He has 3 losing season at WVU. Two of those have two 20 win seasons sandwich between them. Sorry but he is coach at WVU as long as he wants to be here. At the conclusion of the 2022 season, Huggins took on a 5-year Emeritus Status within the basketball program.

He's been to 10 NCAA tournaments in his 14 seasons this year will make 11 as you cry in your beer.

Wasting our time here with Bucky. He's too far gone as far as being 'woke'. Probably wants Huggins to cuddle with players as opposed to calling them out when deserved. It also hurts him when Huggins screams and yells at the referees. Goes against the 'woke' handbook.

No one said Huggins has had no good seasoms ever at WVU. But you dont keep a coach that had a few

Huggins is not entitled to anything. Produce or move on and let someone else try.

Ah, another responder who got an F in math.

THIRTEEN winning seasons at WVU is "a few"? But 2 losing seasons are "a lot"?

You must get robbed every time you try to count your change!

And how many losing seasons has he had? He has only produced ONE 20 win season since the 2017-18 Season.

At championship caliber schools, coaches must produce at the highest levels or the schools move on. They don’t say “oh well he won back then so he is entitled for life.” That is a loser mentality.

They demand continuous improvement. They demand a certain standard be met every year. That’s whyTCU let go of their previous football coach and are now in the national championship.

But at WVU somehow somewhere people got in there that decided- oh it’s too tough for widdle ol WVU, so 5-7 seasons are winning seasons deserving of multi year multi million dollar extensions and a losing record in conference and losing seasons every 2 years or so is okey dokey In basketball.

It’s why the state of WV is near last in everything- because of a live in a fantasized past, don’t accept change loser mentality.

They demand continuous improvement. They demand a certain standard be met every year. That’s whyTCU let go of their previous football coach and are now in the national championship.

But at WVU somehow somewhere people got in there that decided- oh it’s too tough for widdle ol WVU, so 5-7 seasons are winning seasons deserving of multi year multi million dollar extensions and a losing record in conference and losing seasons every 2 years or so is okey dokey In basketball.

It’s why the state of WV is near last in everything- because of a live in a fantasized past, don’t accept change loser mentality.

IN THE TOUGHEST CONFERENCE IN THE COUNTRY HE WON 20 OR MORE GAMES 5 OUT OF 6 SEASONS BEFORE HE WON 19 ONLY 2 SEASONS AGO. OR DO YOU ONLY COUNT THAT YOU THINK IS A NEGATIVE. BY YOUR STANDARDS YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN FIRED FROM YOUR JOB!

Basketball is declining. 1 20 win season since 2017- 6 seasons. There were two losing seasons since 2017. No conference titles and few NCAA wins.

Too many players have left to count and a couple were gamechangers.

But WVU is complacent with 5 win football and 18-19 win bb with a first round NCAA or even NIT knockout. No pressure or even desire to win or even do better- very odd circumstances.

I am not paid millions upon millions for what I do, but if i had two “losing seasons”. I would be fired for sure.
Huggins is 90-91 in the Big 12 after 10 seasons. Simply a fact.
Huggins has never won a Big 12 title. Another fact.

Name a another HOF Coach besides Huggs who has a losing Conference record after at least 10 seasons.

When is the last time that Huggins and Staff won a recruiting battle with a top 10 team. Sheebway d/n count because he didn't stay long enough to produce. There's not a single player on this team that was legitimately recruited by a major power. There's been made mention that he's taken WVU to the NCAA tournament 10 out of 14 seasons. Nearly 70 teams are invited each year. Its nearly a failed year if you're not invited.

The adoration & knob-sucking of Huggins is mind-boggling. Huggins made his bones at Cincinnati. For the last 10 years, his performance has been, at best mediocre. He's not a Supreme Court Judge, he's not guaranteed his job for life. The job belongs to the State of WV, not Bob Huggins.

I agree - he has had some successes but at some point when decline is clear its likely time to consider a change. To allow mediocrity or worse endlessly is mind boggling.

Doesn't matter what kind of logic and/or reasoning you use to argue that the game has passed Huggins by, most posters on here won't understand it. Most are too stupid to comprehend, they likely voted for Trump twice.
