I would've thought that was a cbs sports article

He should follow up with the same kind of vigor on what its like to deal with the most hot headed, paranoid coach in college basketball (which is saying a lot considering the overall landscape).

it doesn't matter.  martin was the talent, he's allowed to do whatever he wants.  currie's job was to keep him safe, happy and at kstate.

Coaches that win conference titles and national championships get to do whatever they want.

Not sure where to put this, but have a friend who just attended a basketball camp in which Frank was a guest coach. Apparently Frank got kicked out of a game for being a real jerk to the ref, but refused to leave the court. So the camp director was called to come and escort Frank away. On his way out he told the ref that if no one was around he'd "take him out back and shoot him in the head."

99% sure that story is 99% bullshit.

[chum1]

True or not, it's something Frank would do, so it's really bad news either way.

Holy crap this board is stupid sometimes

[420seriouscat69]

Pretty much what we already know. 

[steve dave]

frank is terrified of refs.  so, unless that ref was a college kid type ref I don't believe it.

The "he hasn't coached a game" argument is pretty embarrassing. Is this the company line in Bramlage?

Currie's line was that he's coached and won a shitload more games than Frank and accordingly is better.

Yeah, that was pretty damn stupid on Currie's part.

I don't like how KSU has framed the Weber hire.  They won't come out and say why they hired him (obviously), but don't piss on me and tell me it's raining.  I can compartmentalize the "why" and live with it, but it wasn't some sort of coup that we should all be doing cartwheels over.

The thing is, I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter what we think. A fair amount (not all) of the national media that doesn't bother to pay close attention to us--think ESPN who doesn't know anything in-depth about our program--have eaten this hire up and called it a solid way to recover from Frank Martin leaving. As long as Currie's decision-making acumen is being praised nationally, our opinions mean nothing. The only time they ever will is if the big donors revolt, and the donors aren't going to revolt until at least year 3 or 4 if Weber sinks like most of us think he will.

Sure, Currie's torched his chances among schools that have a history of doing things under the table, but he's essentially raised his profile amongst schools that are obsessed with winning "the right way" or are about to get slammed/have been slammed by NCAA sanctions and need a new athletic director to come in and give an appearance of cleaning things up to the outside world. Considering how many schools are in the crosshairs of the NCAA these days, it's not necessarily a bad image for Currie to have.

Penn State fits that description perfectly. Did they hire a permanent AD or just an interim AD?

[Cartierfor3]

I hate him

[Stevesie60]

I miss him more than he misses us, which is saying something.
