Message boards for Arkansas are talking about their top 3 candidates being: Mike Anderson, Mark Turgeon, and Frank Martin. Weird thing about this is I had a buddy call and tell me one of Frank's friends was blabbing at a party saying that if Arkansas came calling he would listen and listen closely. Has anyone heard anything. Can't say Frank would be a good fit down in Arkansas, but money talks and they have plenty of it down there.

Oh yeah. If Arkansas wants Frank we are coach shopping. Common knowledge on this board. Thanks though.

Talked to another person I know who has an ear to the ground and they said there is some bad blood right now between our a.d. and our head coach. Hope Mike Anderson takes the job.

But is Frank enjoying Manhattan?

They already have a top notch practice facility. Tons of money flowing in Arkansas. They are not going to screw up another coach. They are ready to break out the check books.

But it's a really racist/backwards university and we all know Frank won't tolerate that stuff.

If Arkansas' Walmart money meant anything at all towards BB, they would have something already.

MEH!

EVERYONE SETTLE DOWN!

Currie knows that if we lose Frank in a bad situation such as the one described above, then KSU fans will destroy him and his career. Currie is not stupid.

Don't eff this up Currie.

it's really a pretty fantastic situ for an incoming coach. dece returning talent and a top 25 incoming class that is considered likely to remain. primed for immediate success and then you have the sec west just waiting to be dominated.

This is what I'm hoping for.

If we lose Frank, Currie will have to answer hard questions that he probably doesn't want to have to answer.

It's in his best interest to keep the guy responsible for more NCAA tournament appearances than all other coaches combined since 1990.

If he loses Frank and keeps Snyder, I want him gone immediately. Like yesterday.

Worst case scenario.

Who would we get to replace him? Sean, that's who.

Either way, we would have to ride Currie and hope he brings in a good new guy.

Currie has us right where he wants us. No other alternative.

Pay Frank!! Could be Frank's attempt at more money. Bill needs to drop the point 8 off his salary and add it to Frank's. If Frank makes the sweet 16 this year, he will have to make over 2 million a year.

FWIW: Currie's best friend at Tennessee=oscar Pearl
