LOL at all of you doubting Currie.  This has been planned for months.

Since last year's Miami job opened.

That's what I'm getting at. There had to be a better way for him to get this done without the public backlash. Had to. This has been planned for awhile. So, why risk your job by making yourself look like you're caught with your pants down. This is a shrewd business man--the only way it makes sense to let this all play out is if you have an awesome exit strategy...if not, you come crawling to Frank, begging him to stay, and look forward to job searching yourself to get away from the man who made you look like a fool, and himself look like a king. He's not begged Frank. But, Currie still looks like a fool...and he knows it...unless...

Here's what I don't get. I mean--I'm not melting down because if you're a K-State fan long enough, this crap happens. Apparently, it's been no secret that Currie doesn't like Frank. Apparently, it's been no secret that Frank doesn't like Currie. I mean...you have to think that the endgame always looked something like this to them. And, neither of them are idiots...they're masters at what they're doing--great at spin, great at PR. I mean..sure fans are mad at Frank...or potentially will be, but he'll walk out of here with anger, and into Columbia, SC as a hero. People mad at Frank? Sure--but he'll have nearly as many ready to fall in love with him.

Where I'm lost is...what was John Currie thinking? There was no endgame solution here that would make him look good? The only one is a great hire following Frank...but it still looks like he orchestrated the ouster of a beloved coach. Something doesn't add up..and it's not Frank's end. Currie's no idiot--he wouldn't get egg on his face for Frank staying so publicly pissed, or leaving with a public nastiness about Currie to anyone and everyone who wants to hear it...unless he had a plan. What that plan is? Dunno. But, it doesn't make sense to let this become a nightmare if you're Currie--because you're the one who has to deal with it...not your Coach.

What evidence do we have that he's not an idiot? I mean, I would love to give the guy credit, but looking back... I'm not sure for what. I love all of the building planning, but nothing is done (or paid for) yet... right?

Have you been to campus in a year?  DF

Nope, enlighten me.

Go, then post your opinions that we haven't built anything.

Seriously. Anyone who has ever had any contact with Currie or has even shook his hand as I have a couple times gets the immediate impression that the guy is a rough ridin' conniving jack russell terrier (and I mean that in the best way possible). I'd guess Martin is more on the defensive here than many realize. Now, you can disagree with Currie's plan, (I mostly do), but don't doubt that there is a plan in motion here.

This is why I'm #notworried. Currie has some genius plan and he's going to come out of this on top. He's a tuck bad person, but he's a smart tuck bad person. Even if Frank leaves, I'm #notworried.

No, he's just a moron.  No good can come from this.  There is no one out there.  No one.

I don't actually believe that, I just wanted people to quote my post.

Right, basketball practice facility is well on its way. I was wrong to say nothing is done. But when you compare that win with the loss of this coach who got the fans back interested in Basketball (better stated, kept fans interested after we lost Huggins)... is that a net gain?

I don't think Currie expected it to be SC.  I think he thought a bigger program and he could go "Prestige, money, nothing I could do, etc" and fans would accept it.  The reason  Frank is winning this is because its SC

I will say that this seems to be dragging on a hell of a lot longer than Huggins to WVU.

The good news on top of Upshaw not signing his LOI, is that according to Upshaw's mom Frank told them not to

Master threads make it very hard to keep up.

Just making sure that it has been established that Fedor completely made this up

Rob said this on GPC and twitter, fwiw. I didn't believe it for a while, still not sure if I do. Just letting you know it's not Fedor.

the Frank told them not to part seems made up. not the fact he didnt sign.
