Huggins out

The end of the Bob Huggins era at Cincinnati creates a significant vacancy less than two months from the start of practice. The volataile coach seems to be either loved or loathed around the game. Columnists will debate whether this was the right or wrong move and everyone will wonder Who's next at UC and Where next for Huggins?

Paul Daugherty says Nancy Zimpher has a war on her hands now.
A Cincinnati Enquirer editorial says it was the right move.
Admit it, you were wondering what Nick Lachey thought of this (insert eye roll here).
Dustin Dow tries his hand at predicting Cincy's next coach candidates.
I'm assuming Dustin, (who I know from A-10 stuff, and respect a great deal) is spitballing and didn't get these names from a source. Some of these coaches (Prosser, Beilein, Purnell, Sendek) have better jobs than Cincy. People are going to quickly find out that Cincy was a good job because Huggins made it a good job. It's going to drop off after him. Others on the list (Martelli, Dunphy, Lavin) seem like unlikely fits. Altman and Cronin though could be legitimate.

CBS Sportsline's Gregg Doyel endorses Andy Kennedy.

Ian O'Connor applauds Zimpher too.

Dan Wetzel says it shouldn't have gone down this way.

Dick Vitale takes no stand.
