Huggs, This one’s for you!

I can’t imagine signing a contract that had this clause in it:
The contract also stipulates Huggins can be fired for substance abuse or habitual intoxication affecting his job performance. A West Virginia spokesman said that is a standard clause in employment contracts.
I don’t care what that spokesperson says we all know what this is about.
But then again, maybe I would:
Huggins will earn about $1.5 million this year, including a base salary of $250,000 and $1.25 million in supplemental compensation. His salary will increase a minimum of $100,000 per year, and he will receive an annual retention bonus of $100,000 starting next May 1, plus incentives.
Incentives include $10,000 for a first-round appearance in the NCAA tournament and $50,000 if the Mountaineers reach the championship game. Huggins would earn $20,000 if the Mountaineers win or tie for the Big East regular season championship, while a conference tournament title would also give him $20,000.
DAMN! Bonus Heaven!!!!! If Bling Bling $$ isn’t enough of a reason to “keep it clean” so to say, then he’s got some real problems.
So Huggins once again, congrats on this awesome deal and THIS ONES FOR YOU!
