Ken Kendrick, founder of Country Roads Trust and WVU alum, made headlines with his blunt remarks regarding the potential return of Bob Huggins as WVU Head Basketball Coach, stating Huggins has 'no place in the lives of young men who deserve quality leadership.' The comments have sparked debate, with some finding Kendrick's words 'unnecessary and over the top' and indicative of a disconnect with the state and its people. However, others, including the Arizona Diamondbacks owner and a top West Virginia booster, echoed the sentiment that Huggins, known for his controversial behavior, should not be reinstated. The consensus among these voices is that the university and Wren Baker should consider other candidates, as the community raising NIL money is firmly against Huggins' return.
Good for Ken Kendrick. Bob Huggins had years and years and years to not make boneheaded, drunken decisions - and couldn’t. He doesn’t deserve any more chances. https://t.co/uyGk9DDqBX
Some of this rhetoric is a little over the top, but this is his way of saying "the people that raise the NIL money want nothing to do w/Bob coming back" and that should be enough to get Wren Baker and the university to look elsewhere. https://t.co/KUcr7TP8Ga
These are some very interesting and pointed comments from the Arizona Diamondbacks owner, who is a top West Virginia booster. Bob Huggins isn’t getting his job back. https://t.co/hGCvtZgVjc
I found Ken Kendrick’s remarks about Bob Huggins today to be unnecessary and over the top. He’s clearly very disconnected from the state and its people with these comments. #WVU https://t.co/8xQWcrPWMs
