It's sad that some program probably will give this 3 time loser another shot at leading young men.

I guessing Huggins has led more kids out of the gutters than he has put into them.

As is true for nearly every high school coach in the country, let alone college coaches. At some point though, enough should be enough.

However, college sports are as a whole morally bankrupt...so it won't shock me when he gets hired next March.

He's far enough along the way that he shouldn't be making mistakes like this.

1 DUI is mistake (and a big issue).   2 is a gigantic issue.

Can’t really disagree with that statement but nobody is perfect, he will return on a major college bench and continue to get wins.

Just read where many of his former players from UC are heading to visit Huggins, he has many faults, like so many of us, and will never agree with him driving under the influence,  but he has touched many young mens lives, I hope he gets help and return in a year.

Wow, perfection must be nice, I’m not in that category and really don’t anticipate getting there anytime soon, but Congrats to those who qualify.

I don't think anyone is claiming perfection.   Actions have consequences.  He's now made 3 rather large mistakes, 2 of them in less than 6 months.   There needed to be consequences to those actions and there was.   WV fired him.   If someone hires him, no doubt he will make another "mistake" because he's proven he doesn't learn from the last ones.    Caveat emptor.

No one is perfect, but you also can't continue to screw up and not be held accountable when you are the face of an university.

I guess technically WVU didn't fire him, he "resigned", but the rest holds true.

Looks like we are the only two guys on here that aren't saints.

How many chanes do you give him? Wait until he kills someone? Wait until he yells a slur on live TV?

Point is, we all make mistakes we can either learn from them and change our decision making or think we are above it all.
