Bob Huggins says he never resigned, wants reinstatement

[huskiesouth]

Follow the money, he doesn’t want his job back he wants severance pay.

I think he got that with his resignation.

If you are correct and my assumptions were wrong (as they often are), then God bless America, Huggins was arrested for DUI, he resigned in disgrace from a state government job and received severance pay? Wow, nothing wrong with that picture.

 

[ZachFan]

Maybe he should look up Kevin Ollie's lawyers as they seem to be able to pull miracles off.

"...mistake..."!? Alcoholics are hilarious (I get to say that...I've got 30 years sober "by the grace of God" as we say). Actually it's sad. Booze and drugs do not discriminate. AA rooms are filled with millionaires and laborers, high achievers and low achievers and everything in between. The chances of a normal healthy productive life for him are slim at best. I wish him God speed.

30 years? I thought you were younger than you apparently are. Congratulations on your sustained sobriety.

any of our lawyer friends care to chime in? Does he have any chance of pulling off the KO miracle or is he done?

Not a lawyer but that letter essentials says “hi, deek measuring contest, here’s mine. What kind of second place prize are you looking for?”

Is he in a union? Ollie really only won because he was in the union (which is absurd) that represents professors.

Guessing if they didn’t get a letter signed by Huggins or an email directly from his account the University may have jumped the gun here. But definitely gonna be interesting to watch this one play out.

Safe prediction: He gets his job back after lengthy rehab.

Lol absolutely not

 

[Dogdeacon]

The university's response provides evidence of multiple written and verbal acknowledgements of the resignation. And it is very clear they don't want him back under any circumstances. Given that they are paying him there's really nothing more for Huggins to do or try. He's done.

According to WVU, the “University accommodated with Huggins to send the message from his wife’s account because Huggins doesn’t know how to use email.”

He also cleaned out his desk the next day. That’s what we call ratification.

As others have said, he probably got a new lawyer who found out Huggins didn’t sign the letter and thought maybe they could use that to shake down WVU. But Huggins was probably too stupid to tell the lawyer all of the facts.

I haven’t read much about his contract but they probably could’ve fired him for cause and, unlike KO, he’d have no argument that it was pretext. They bent over backwards to keep him after the homophobic stuff.

If as UConn coach KO used the slurs Huggy used and then followed that up with a DUI, he and his lawyers would have $11M less than they do now.

I don’t think we know what he got. Perhaps it was negotiated downward. His salary was $3.15M.

Yeah. His best bet is to hope for the Liberty job if they crash and burn in the AAC.

They have email in West Virginia??

I kid, I kid

I really believe that not knowing how to use email should disqualify you from essentially all forms of employment. That's a red flag if ever I saw one.

Not a chance in Morgantown.

Yeah, I'm not so sure about that. It's been a while since I looked at the collective bargaining agreement, but I'm not confident that either of those meet the undefined standard of "serious" breach of contract.

May not be very lengthy....

Huggy has a lawyer named Rocky? This sounds like some bad '70s cop show.

Just take the retirement man. Based on what I've seen recently it's pretty hard not to find work eventually if you want it no matter how terrible you've been.
