Weiser and Wefald said today that they told Huggs that money was no issue. Presumably, they would have paid him more than a million dollars to stay at KSU.
So here's what you do tomorrow: you offer Frank Martin at least $700,000 to take the head coaching job, and you offer Dalonte at least $400,000 to stay as the top assistant. Huge raise from their salaries this year, head coaching offer should get Frank, and huge raise for Dalonte and top assistants' post should get him to stay. Should keep the recruiting class pretty intact...and this recruiting class is worth a lot more than $1,000,000 to KSU.
Frank isn't a bad hire, people. If you listened to Huggs' post game shows, a lot of time he gave credit to Frank for the crucial coaching decisions. For example, the full court pressure that won the first NIT game was due to Frank's suggestions in practice.
Reading this and thinking slimz could/should be AD just reminded me of a drunken rant I gave to Saturday night's pak in the lobby and/or bathroom of Holiday Inn just prior to heading to aggieville regarding why is it so f'n tough for KSU to get an AD that simply doesn't eff up. Don't steal, don't drastically alienate the fan base, don't piss off the only coach that matters, etc. I got loud. Think there was at least one other non-pak'r observing this likely contemplating whether security was needed. Need ChiCat's accounting of this.
I think a couple non-pak'rs saw but one was too busy trying to secretly throw up into a napkin, before washing it down with beer, to want security there.
At one point, you were saying how you wanted a microphone at the end of the games to yell at stupid people. It was pretty solid. Also, you were pissed that there is not section for die-hard fans (flags/chanting/swearing/etc.) who are not students. And young alumni should be this, but they are being a bunch of pussies and dumbasses for blindly defending mediocrity/administration choices just because they are made by KSU.
I think you need to have 8 or 9 beers and have a talk with KK about these issues on a podcast, FWIW
