Huggins... UGH!!!!!!!!!!!

Interesting article... using Davis' questionable future to push for a Huggins contract extension at UC. Or could Huggins be using the press to get his name out there for the IU job should it come available. Huggins and the Cincy President DO NOT get along... hmmm... I wonder why? Maybe she has ethics and wants to clean up the program.

Huggins' plight a boon for foes - Cincinnati Post

"But if Bobby Huggins is not there," continued Francis, "I guarantee you they're not going to Cincinnati. I know for a fact that O.J. and Billy told Bob Huggins at one point that if he had taken the West Virginia job, they would have gone with him. I really think Huggins could still end up at West Virginia in two years. Or let's say the Indiana job opens up. Huggins could be the coach there and bring Mayo and Walker with him.

"O.J. and Billy make Bobby Huggins pretty hot right now. It doesn't sound like he's too much of a lame duck to me. The best way to sum it up is that Bobby Huggins needs Cincinnati less than Cincinnati needs Bobby Huggins. Because a lot of people out there want to win."

The only thing worse than Davis remaining at IU... would be for IU to hire Bob Huggins.

Way back when Huggins first arrived at UC I admit liking him because he had a Knight-like streak in him. But then came the never ending parade of thugs and low-lifes that he kept recruiting. I agree that Huggins is proof that things at IU could actually get worse.

If I ever said it, I hereby withdraw my "I'd take anyone over Davis" comment. No way would I want Huggins at IU. At least Davis is a nice guy with some character.

Tell me this will not happen! I want to have some input in deciding our new coach and it will not be Huggins. Give me a break!
