Hiring Process Discussion with CC

[michigancat]

I'm pretty sure I've consistently blamed both you dipshit.

While simultaneously not knowing how much Currie actually tried to do to save the relationship.

The end result tells us enough.

Why does everyone keep acting like one party has the ability to save a relationship regardless of the mindset of the other party?  I mean if your wife was cheating on you constantly and kept getting into legal trouble and you tried to reason with her rationally and she just spit in your face and told you eff off and ultimately left you, should we blame you for the failed marriage?  I'm not saying for sure that's what happened, but we also don't know for sure that it didn't happen that way.  We have no idea what Frank's mindset was. 

I'm pretty sure I've consistently blamed both you dipshit.

heh.  you were the only one attacking Martin for throwing Currie under the bus in the Syracuse post game presser.

The board needed balance. I place plenty of blame on Currie.

You are certainly welcome to your opinion

LOL, thanks.

I just disagree with it. 

I've pointed out several occasions he could have done better, the whole honesty/transparency isn't one of them. In fact, as I said, his statements are sometimes too concerned about honesty/transparency.

But reasonable people can disagree.

[Trim]

man, that has to feel great trim

Yep, really hard to understand why people are mad right now.

[Dugout DickStone]

Cap,

Yes, we understand why John Currie didn't admit that he's always hated that mexican.

However, when you stand on a platform of transparency and honesty, don't expect that not to be thrown in your face when you tell a blatant (white) lie and also make statements that are (admitted by proxy) "close enough to the truth."

Also, rather than argue semantics with you on the above, I'd rather just pay you whatever your hourly rate is for the next 5 minutes so that you can acknowledge the points.  I will WU the money to you.

-Trim

He pledged transparency in financial and contractual matters. Don't know why you are applying that standard to every word the man says on any topic.

I would really doubt he qualified it like that.

Yes, editing the transcript of a press conference to excise embarassing questions and labeling it "Full transcript" is definitely within the realm of something that someone who is too concerned with honesty/transparency would do.

I honestly don't know what you're referring to, sorry. Transcripts are done by SID student interns, not the AD...

I guess you should see to it that the rogue SID and interns that are editing up transcripts and releasing them on the "Kansas State Official Athletic Site" get dealt with.

I wonder what it would have been titled in the transcript had they left in the protestors question:

On the protestors outside who hate KState and probably didn't/don't go to school here...

What got left out? His last answer is in regards to feedback... Is there something else? I honestly don't have a clue.

There was a question about the protest.  That question and answer are no where to be found.

Which feedback one?  I just did a word search for "feedback" and "protest" and came up empty.

It was my damn point!   

[TheHamburglar]

That being said I don't ever remember hearing or reading a quote from Frank in which he mentions the name Robert Upshaw.

Here is the story from the KSU Basketball website:

http://kstatesports.cstv.com/sports/m-baskbl/spec-rel/112111aab.html

The following is a quote from the story:

"Robert gives us by far the biggest young man that we have signed in our time here in terms of height, length and size," said Martin

I also did a search for this quote that I found in the suntimes, and also came up empty:  ‘‘It doesn’t matter where you go or which coach you hired, there was always going to be a question mark. There’s no doubt about that. That’s part of college sports.’’

I need to file a bug report with the Chrome dudes apparently.

Well none of the questions are put in there word for word, it's usually just a key theme of the question. That's the way they always are. There's a question about feedback that I would assume is the one that would have included the protest. But I honestly don't remember the PC well enough.

Regardless, I would be highly skeptical that JC gave any direction at all on that page. I'd guess if he read it at all, it wouldn't have been until Monday or something.

Both BW and JC do lengthy 1-on-1 or small group interviews after the PC, highly probable the quote came from there if it's not in the transcript.

Probably had his minions do it, ask SD about it.

Again, you and the sun-times and everyone who watched the same damn press conference on the same rough ridin' website are entitled to your opinions.
