I think if miami can scratch up 1.75 ish he's gone for sure.  And I think it fits Frank's MO, he's worked his ass off after losing what was probably his dream job at miami high and now he's got the chance to go back.

The question will probably be if they can afford the buy out.

why wouldn't frank leave?  it wasn't like ksu was setting attenedance records at KSU before Huggins/Martin got here.  As a fan base, we gave a sh*t about basketball just as much as Miami does.  Winnning will bring them, just as it did here.  And it's great timing.  With Jake gone and an unbalanced roster, he will have to do some rebuilding/retooling on this roster.  why not do that at home with probably a better opportunity with easier recruiting?  he's f'ing gone.

i am totally down with Trim's suggestion of moving half our games to Jupiter.  I'd like to get PAK'd and walk to games.

nah, they truly don't give a eff.  even if they are winning.  they only care about football.  but i think that aspect is way overrated in coaching change discussions.  i totally agree with your point about much easier recruiting.

the same people freaking out about Martin leaving are the same people who wanted him fired back in january.

currie hasn't let me down yet.  cautiously optimistic no matter what ends up happening.

Meh.

Frank really wants to go home if he leaves for Miami. The best coach in the program's history is Leonard Hamilton. He led them to half (3) of their programs NCAA appearances, and basically built the team that went to a fourth after he left.

Any concern I have is very (very) slight.

I have no idea what is in Frank's head.  But, IF he does want to go home, why is Miami worse than we were when he took over?  You think South Florida kids care if Miami didnt have years of pre segregation basketball glory like we do?

All it takes is for one alum to step up with cash for a practice facility, and Franks cooking down there.   Do Michael Irvine or Portis like hoops?

Frank would be stupid not to go to Miami as long as they can pay roughly what we will pay.  Congrats to Frank.  He's earned the eff out of this.

I agree with this. Miami doesn't support bball because they haven't been very good at bball.

my question is can they pay his assistants?? frank has always been very loyal to his group of coaches that he has put together, also how much do we pay wsu's coach?  :goodbyecruelworld:

The most important thing not being talked about in all of this, is...When the great college football realignment happens, "The U" has a guaranteed seat at the table, we do not. Send us a postcard from the beach, Frank.

The good thing is that a coaching search is pretty phenomenal to follow on twitter.  It could be gut wrenching (Painter), but should make for some fun days of BBSing/tweeting.

All moot points. One of his assistants will be our head coach, unless Currie goes above and beyond our past ADs.

fan support doesn't mean jack crap. sorry guys, it's irrelevant. the question is whether or not Frank could do a better job recruiting to Miami than he does here, therefore giving him a better chance to win.

Plus, there's a bunch of turds in the ACC for coaches. Frank is instantly the fourth biggest name out of all those pudnuts, and #3 is Gary rough ridin' Williams. He'll be a goddam star.

some espnradio guy in miami being interviewed on 610 just said he doesnt see miami paying $2mil/yr for a coach...said they settled on their 3rd/4th choice for a football coach at a football school....boosters don't care about basketball...sees miami going after a cheap/young coach...said frank martin is totally out of their price range...
