  I think Huggins' situation is much like that of Mike Price, the UTEP fb coach. He had to go from Alabama to one of college fb's bottom-feeders to find a job. I'm not suggesting that Huggins will have to go that low, but though Huggins is clearly a fine coach, many universities will steer clear of him due to what they perceive as his unsavory image. This likely will keep him out of the picture for Rutgers & IU, which both are quite snobbish. Missouri has had too much of its own image problems to hire him. I have a friend in KC who reports rumors about Huggins & Kansas State. My friend says the Kansas State has been squeaky clean & might be willing to take a chance with Huggins. I suspect he'll have to go to a really bad program in a big conference, e.g., USF, or to a school in a mid-range conference, e.g., Marshall.

  How long before the Bob Huggins to Rutgers rumors start? Oh, they just did.
