Twitter Reaction: Bob Huggins Threatening WVU Angers Remaining Supporters

Anyone who thought Bob Huggins was just going to go away until he was eventually honored by WVU was clearly mistaken.

Reports that Huggins is bringing a lawsuit against his former employer to argue the legitimacy of his resignation sparked yet another social media firestorm of reaction from members of Mountaineer Nation and the country as a whole.

Some WVU fans, even many who were previously defending Huggins, are now appear very angry at the Hall of Famer. Others are taking the opportunity to add humor to the situation. But as with everything Huggins, everyone is reacting.

I feel like if he had checked himself in somewhere and got on the wagon and sent a letter with no threat this might have been a diff story.

I love Bob Huggins.

I am frustrated. I am disappointed. But I LOVE Bob Huggins.

But this ain’t it, man. Let it go, Huggs.

Don’t do this to the state or the University. Don’t do this to the people.

Bob Huggins was found passed out drunk with a university registered vehicle. He can easily be fired for cause so this is such a meaningless stunt.

you have to kick the biggest drunks out of the club. you can’t just expect them to walk out on their own. Bob Huggins has been hiding in the last bathroom stall, with a flask, waiting for the right time to pop back up. https://t.co/l5F3wyuhxG

I’m done with him now. This is embarrassing and classless. He has no one to blame, but himself for no longer being the head basketball at WVU.

Say it ain't so.

I'm a huge Huggins fan. Hate to see this. He deserves to go out with honor.
