It seems he's here to stay- WVU men's basketball coach Bob Huggins sign an 11-year contract with the school this week. And that has some fans happy to hear the news.

"I don't think he's a 'Belien-type character' who's always looking for the next step up," said WVU fan and grad student Aaron Hawley. "I think Bob Huggins intends to write the last chapter of his career here."

After a season of questions, with the departure of former head coach John Beilien, Huggins brought some national notoriety to WVU with a 26 and 11 record. And in return, his Alma Matter gave him an 11-year deal, that some call a "lifetime contract" with Huggins.

That has some fans a bit concern over that term. When asked about the validity of the words, WVU student Colleen Dick said "I don't think that does." She continues, "I'm kind of in that school of thought now that people are out for themselves and loyalty is not there anymore."

The contract would mean that Coach Huggins would be with WVU until he's 65 years old.
