A Query
« on: April 02, 2012, 04:28:20 PM »
I have no idea whether or not Weber will work out, but I wanted to ask this:

What were your thoughts when Weiser and Wefald promoted Frank?

I was apprehensive then, and I am now. I was probably willing to show a bit more patience due to the Beasley/Walker combo that stayed and the fact that I still had visions of that neck-bracey dick hole patrolling our sidelines.  I think I'm willing to see what happens with the staff and transfers before I go out to buy a bullet and rent a gun.

The guy who brought in the GRCOAT was staying(Hill). I was ok with giving the unknown Frank a chance since the recruiter was staying.

I was for it. There was no choice. If we hadn't promoted frank, our team was likely sitting with 3 scholarship players, iirc.

I always loved Coach Latin Fury. I wanted him to get hired because  I knew he was our only chance to not blow it and hire another wooly. And I knew it was the only way to keep GRCOAT. I was so validated when we found out Frank could actually coach.

I was all for it. Mostly because it kept the recruiting class together, but I told people, at some point every head coach needs to get their break, maybe this is Frank Martin's

Michael Beasley/Bill Walker had a crap ton to do with peoples' initial reaction to Frank getting the HC job.

Almost everyone was for Frank because it meant GRCOAT. Only one dumbstick was opposed.

Frank had never had a chance and blown it like Weber.  Also Frank had the # recruit and several others (pullen, walker, sutton, brown) in tow.  In this case a spineless AD wanted a stopgap so the program looks just good enough for him to hop onto another ship he can sink.  He didn't even interview a college bball celebrity who was begging for the job, or underwood, and this is after HE CLEARLY RAN FRANK OFF OVER THE COURSE OF A YEAR.

We really didn't have much of a choice but, in post game interviews Huggs always gave props to Frank and that gave me confidence
