True, did eustachy offer to go to rehab to keep his job? I believe I read huggins offered to do that.
Huggins might be in trouble, DUI is good, Bees are bad

I believe he was already in rehab when he was fired. If you are making millions in a position working with young adults the expectations of what you can and can’t do are a little different than if you are the cook at Applebees.
I have done it more than I can count. And most small town people name any state have done it. You are not wrong. Doesnt make it right but it happens a lot. You just took the wrong approach here.
Read again. Or let me womansplain it to you: assume an average of four people in a car. Maybe all four are drinking, but only one is driving. Your numbers have been exaggerated from the get-go.
You really like to hear yourself talk?
Rhetorical. Please don't answer. If you do, you will go to my ignore. I very rarely put people on ignore. You are getting there fairly quick.
Try letting this go? See where that takes you. You've made your point and I don't agree. OK. The rest is condescending.
You are home on a Sunday evening, significant other is out of town. just finished your 5th beer when your young child gets stung by numerous wasps and is having a massive allergic reaction. No epinephrine around, throat is swelling shut, 15 minutes tops to get to a hospital.
If you drove your kid to the hospital, I would defend that decision even if you wouldn't.
Rather irresponsible to be getting drunk if you are the parent in charge, isn't it?
Yes, and legally it's called child endangerment. This thread has really gotten dumb.
No, not at all.
Freak and others defending Huggins are trying to strip away all context not favorable to Huggins. So they focus on that there was a DUI without saying what Huggins' BAC was. To hear them tell it, he was pulled over with a .08 and appeared sober and coherent. But a .08 (while still bad) is completely different than a .21. They also bring up that he offered to go to rehab.
By focusing just on the DUI and offer for rehab, they're ignoring that he had just had a major fuckup that probably had to do with alcohol a month or two prior. If Huggins had wanted to go to rehab to get his drinking under control in order to keep his job, he needed to do that after the interview, not now. Now it's too late.
I think either incident in isolation could be grounds for termination. To have both of them happen within two months of each other basically gave WVU no choice.
I never drank a drop when we had kids under the age of 18 but it kind of becomes a habit when I spent about ten consecutive years either pregnant or nursing. Had multiple emergency room trips
Certainly can argue that, along with the degree of impairment 5 beers would actually make, but that isn't the question: I presented a circumstance where I would absolutely defend that parent's decision to try to save the life of their child. Previous poster had implied that they would not make that decision and would apparently let their child die.
Per that post: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE is drinking and driving defensible.
No, what you should do is call 911 if you really think someone's life is in danger. The 911 dispatcher is then going to tell you to take care of the child while they send emergency vehicles to your house. It's much better to administer first aid and cpr if necessary while waiting for an ambulance than trying to drive to the hospital while you are drunk and panicking from your child dying in the back seat.
So you would defend the parent even if they crashed and killed their child and a child in another vehicle. I can make false dilemmas too.
Some jobs should absolutely be lost over drunk driving. As a parent I wouldn't willfully send my kid off to be coached by someone this irresponsible. It would be funny seeing him pull up to your house to recruit your kid on a bicycle rather than in a university vehicle. Driving is part of the job in a company vehicle so yes he should absolutely lose his job.
I would call for their head if either TJ or Campbell got an OWI as I have zero tolerance for it as I stated in another thread recently.
