He has offered an apology.   Comes off as sincere, not coached.
WVU has issued a statement that is not particularly supportive.

It is better to be fearless and cheerful than cheerless and fearful.

He can be as contrite as he wants, but there's really not much daylight between what he said and the N word. If he keeps his job, that says more about West Virginia than Huggins at this point.

He said it twice, and it wasn't like it was taken out of context.  Sprinkled in some religious stereotyping for good measure.  He should absolutely be fired.  But I think WVU suspends him for some significant portion of the beginning of the season (5 games or so), makes him pay a fine, and then gets the ball rolling on an offseason retirement.  Their big boosters won't go for a firing (I work with one who gives a ton to the program, so I know.  Ironically, he's an HR exec).

I'm quite certain that African Americans do not agree that the word "cute one" and the N word are anywhere close to each other. Any African  Americans on this board care to comment?

I mean it's not that he may or may not have offended someone. And it really doesn't matter if the word is close to the N-word.

It's that he's a highly compensated, highly public employee of WVU. You just can't say that stuff.

Uh oh, the Superbar police are here.

It's a slow time of the year and his response was regarding a question about a team in our conference.

Is Jose Perez still there?  If a Huggins axing causes him to transfer (can he still?  I think he had to sit last year but not sure if that means he can be immediately eligible and when the deadline is) he'd have spent time at 5 schools - Gardner Webb, MU, Manhattan, W.V., ???.

Jose Perez has been at FOUR schools??
Good lord ... what a joke

As for Huggins.  Should be fired.  But, won't be

I think you are right. I also think Huggy is headed in a direction that will result in worse conduct, because he'll be emboldened by not getting fired, and result in major embarrassment for WVU and the AD loosing his job.

Why does it need to compare to the N word to be bad? This is such an idiotic take

The only comparison I intended was that both are unacceptable to use in public discourse. If you use one or the other in a derogatory way, as Huggins clearly did, I don't expect it will go well for you.

Huggins would be terminated at at least 80% of businesses right now and probably 98% of public universities, so we'll see what kind of move WVU makes.

He turns 70 in September and I've been in favor of public schools and politics having mandatory retirement at 70, so it's time Huggy.

 For anyone who thinks Gordon Gee, WVU's president, is going to do anything about Huggy, you may want to read the wikipedia account of him. It's locked or I would list it here. Check out his tenures at a number of universities and the reasons he "left". Wow!
