People, people, people. You've got to have a level head about the whole situation, here. We love Frank and the job he's doing! Frank says he loves the university - as well he should. K-State gave him a shot when quite likely NO OTHER school would have. In terms of marketability, the guy's got three years experience (at the D1 level). That's it.
He's doing GREAT! We love him! He loves us! If he gets us where we think we're going, he NEEDS to be rewarded. But let's not get the cart before the horse here. No other school is going to sweep in here and seduce him. Should they try, I'd imagine his attitude would be, "Where were you when K-State was giving me the chance to coach D1 b-ball? I've got a contract now, that I was thrilled to get when I got it. If we continue to do well, I'm confident I'll be compensated accordingly. I've got no interest in what you've got to say. My family and I love it here in Manhattan. I've no interest in moving them all around the country from job to job."
Don't get me wrong. He's going to be a hot commodity, but only when he's "done it." After the season ends, if ADJC doesn't have a nice package ready to renegotiate, he's a fool. But JM's got everybody foaming after the UT win. At this point in January, it's just another win. Will you be this hot to trot if we drop more than half the remainder of our games and are out of the tournament after our first game?
