Based on the responses from national media types, Frank Martin is already torching K-State to make sure John Currie has no success in the future. This actually fits Frank's personality. He's loyal alright. Loyal until the moment he's against you and then its carpet bombing.
My longstanding opinion is the myth of not being able to recruit to Manhattan really started when Lon Kruger left. He was covering up a mess and needed a good reason why he left. This is different. Frank knows the stereotype and he also knows you can get players from 2000 miles away to play in front of a full house on a 20 degree night because it's fun.
If he's spreading ill will to national media about Currie AND about how hard the job is, he's doing his best to make sure the next coach isn't as successful as he was. What a shame. Six years ago he was a low paid assistant clinging to life in a hospital after years of toiling as an even lower paid coach. K-State made the reach of all time to hire him, allow him a chance to be a successful millionaire and a national celebrity. And because he can't work with ONE person, he leaves?
I have played sports with and worked with people that fit this profile. If they're on your team, you love them. If they're not, they're your worst nightmare. Frank is spoon feeding Katz and all the others a very easy story for them to repeat. How sad.
