Why does Huggins get a "pass" and Dana doesn't?

[QUOTE="xWVU2010x, post: 129422769, member: 1467482"] 1. Huggins is closing in on a 30 year old resume that features way more successes than failures. In comparion DH's resume is that in 5 years he back doored into a BCS game as a partial winner of a terrible 8 team conference with someone elses players, and to his credit did coach one hell of a game vs. Clemson, but other than that one game, nothing of note. Being an OC for some #1 offenses 5+ years ago is old news, thats good enough to get you a job, not enought to keep one. I think its also important to add he wasnt a HC at any of those places and he stepped into great situations on a 1 year rent a coordinator situation. 2. Huggins brought WVU to its highest point since the 50s, as WVU basketball is traditionally decent, but misses more NCAA tournaments than it makes. Even Beilein was only 2/5, Huggins is 6/8 and will probably be 7/9 after this season with multiple Sweet 16s and a Final Four, making him going by our own history, probably our best coach ever. DH took over a program that in the last 30 years has been extremely close to national championships 3 times, we dont expect to be in the hunt every year, but its not unreasonable to expect him to produce a team that has a legit chance once every 10 years, were 5 years in and never finished above what, 16th? Hes not measuring up to what we traditionally expect. We view ourselves as a "football school" so the football coach needs to be held to a higher standard and he isnt even close to meeting it. 3. Huggins gives us stability. He wants to coach here until he retires, and after that point he will probably still work closely with the program from a position in the AD. He gives our program a recognizable face and identity that will never leave for another job. DH when we were 5-0 in 2011 already had his bags packed for Arkansas, until we faceplanted and finished the season 7-6. He has no loyalty to this job or area so why do we owe him an extended leash? To be clear, Im not one of those "the coach must be from WV" guys, but you cant deny that it helps if we have a successful coach that has ties to the state and school. Signifies to the recruits/donors that the guy is in it for the long haul. So to summarize Huggins has 25+ years of being a better HC than DH WVU Football has a higher bar than WVU basketball Huggins is 100% more likely to reciprocate the loyalty than DH should other opportunities arise for either coach.
