Considering we are only losing 3 seniors, will Frank be inclined to take a lower raise to stay with the guys that helped him get started (Pullen, Jam Sam, Sutton)?  If Frank were to leave, I would be VERY surprised to see these guys transfer before their senior season.  I would also be VERY surprised to see Frank leave these guys stuck in the mud.  Without these guys, Frank would not be at his current level of success.  Sure McGruds, Judge, Hen-Rob, and Russell can transfer and still have 3 years of eligibility, but Frank knows that if he stays he can do just as well or better next year.  

Maybe this won't have any impact, but as a young D-1 coach I have a feeling Martin might be hesitant to leave a good thing.  Huggins thought he could pull his recruits to WVU, but even though he failed at that he still has a 20 year successful resume to lure in new players.  

Martin could easily think that leaving KSU too soon could be detrimental to his future coaching/career goals.  

I'm just wondering if Currie will pull this card.

absolutely.  look at his bff.  grant waited for 2 years (i think, can't recall exactly, possible it was just one year) after he was everyone's hot name before he left.  and he wasn't making the money or getting the pub that martin is.  martin will certainly time his departure based on what he is leaving and the attractiveness of the offer.

which makes currie's evil plan somewhat defensible from his own selfish view.  he could def. get away with lowballing martin and skate off elsewhere looking like a champ before martin actually bails at the end of the '10-'11 season.

Which by that time I'm hoping we have our financial situation straightened out and can afford to pay him what he deserves including practice facilities.

They have their own opinions, you have your own. Why dwell on what they say if you dislike that site and those people so much?

And before you blast me, I am not and never have been a subscriber/poster on that site.

You can help but feel bad for them.

Their fearless leader either doesn't have the first clue as to what's going on, or as per usual, simply refuses to tell them what's going on.

The unfounded, blind faith, "everybody just chill because it will all work out", perspective is insane.  

Also despise the automatic discreditation of information by those fools simply because the source was J-Mart.

Yes, it's insane, but no more insane than the total meltdown and state of panic happening here - although the meltdown is at least productive if it scares people into writing checks.  The rational person would look at what is happening (all the contract coverage) as a potential windfall for the university.  Donors will open the checkbooks and season ticket holders will be more receptive to price increases when they are worried about losing Frank.  Hell, 2010-2011 season ticket mailers should be going out NOW, with higher prices on them.  There should be Ahearn Fund ads on the video board during timeouts, preferably showing some artwork of the proposed practice facility and a bunch of video of Frank yelling.

I'm not claiming Currie is a genius, but he is at least smart enough to realize that if he plays this right, he might be able to secure a long-term coach and a practice facility much easier than he would if this wasn't all over the press.  But keep melting down, please....the panic fueld the fire.

if that's what he is doing, then i most would agree w/ you and there wouldn't be a lot of melting down. most people don't think this is what's going on though. even though you're not claiming currie a genius, i'm pretty sure that you're still giving him too much credit.

Most people don't see it that way, but most people are extremely jaded from years of being KSU fans, and most people are dumbasses.  Currie maybe be a dumbass or he may not - I'd argue that it's too early to tell - but one thing is certain, compared to most people on internet message boards, he is a genius...relatively speaking of course..

should clarify to add that when i said most people, i meant most people on this board who are melting down about it and more specifically, myself and about six other people.
