Thu, August 3, 2023 at 7:33 PM PDT·4 min read
Aug. 3—MORGANTOWN — In an anticipated response from Bob Huggins' lawyer David Campbell, Huggins offered his official resignation to WVU in exchange for certain terms, including his placement as "Emeritus Head Coach " for three years and being permitted to return to his office inside the Basketball Practice Facility.
Campbell's email is the latest in a line of correspondence between his office and that of Stephanie Taylor, WVU Vice President & General Counsel.
MetroNews was the first to report Huggins' demands and WVU's response.
Among Huggins' other demands:
— His payment of $1.25 million of deferred salary should be paid in two installments.
— Huggins' salary as Emeritus Head Coach would have to be agreed upon.
— Huggins' health insurance benefits should be paid through April 30, 2024.
— Both Huggins and WVU would agree to a joint statement to publicly resolve the dispute.

Quote:In Taylor's response, WVU would consider Huggins to have some type of role as ambassador, but only if he would agree to certain terms.
Those terms:
Allow three years to pass.
— Huggins' publicly acknowledge that he did indeed officially resign on June 17.
— Huggins would have to promise to never seek the WVU men's basketball head coaching position again or interfere with the program's coaches and players.
If there’s one thing everyone should have learned from this is that you NEVER EVER let Huggins linger. Fire him. Make it final.

Could just see Huggins walking around campus drunk saying you can’t fire me twice!!
He really has no idea what to do post basketball.

He really is a tortured soul. While I resent the man’s behavior, I surprisingly have sympathy for him. Hope he figures it out
