I still, irrationally, want him gone. Someone help me change my mind...

The Martin/Currie relationship didn't work because Currie is a huge dork who loves money. But that's a pretty great asset to have as an AD. He'll get shiny stuff built for us, but basically his entire long term legacy rests on if he can actually make a good football hire. If he can, he's a been a great AD for us.

To this point, Currie has been a B+ AD.  A+ AD who loses a full letter grade because of the Martin debacle.  Aside from that...

I'd dock his grade much more for the oscar hire than I would the handling of confirmed crazy person frank martin

I would improve his letter grade for the Martin situation. I would leave his grade unchanged or slightly worse for oscar, because I am personally undecided on how well it will work out.

Sorry, can't improve from the A+ given by Belvis.  Of course there is always the :ck: situaish to consider.

Yeah because he's the only AD in the country that had to deal with a difficult coach.

Not your fault, it was going to happen regardless.  Could see it coming from the thread title.  Most of us appreciate your input anyway.

Why would any dipshit think he would go to Clemson?  That would put him the same state with Martin.  He clearly stated that he doesn't want to be within 500 miles of that m' effer ever again!

i absolutely love input from cc, but i'm not sure he really gave any in this thread. unless you are counting the facepalm emoticon he gave belvis, which i personally wouldn't. he would've had to have included the toilet flushing one and/or the finger wagging thing for me to count that post as input aka " the rd two emoticon rule".

i hated frank so john currie gets an A+ and a $5 gift certificate to Vanderbilt's Western Store in Wamego for how he handled the frank situ.

Yeah, I personally wasn't addressing what his recent posts held, but the fact that I appreciate his input in the past and going forward.  He has taken a lot of static since the jamar receipt was found and all the Frank/currie/oscar stuff.  I am not saying I agree with him, but I appreciate the info given where it is coming from and that he keeps coming back.

if someone said to me, "clams, describe frank martin" i would respond with one word, and one word only, "megalomaniac".  then i'd say, go cats.

So they're paying Radakovich $750,000.

For the remainder of his contract, we are paying Currie an average of $512,500.

I know he also gets bonuses, but would he get ~$250,000? Or is it possible that he actually likes it here?

Common trait in good coaches at high levels.  Also makes for entertainment off the court/field.

How can athletic directors be asked to manage megalomaniac coaches?  They answer is they can't.  Not part of the job.



Texas Christian University coach Gary Patterson has been hired as Kansas State's 34th football coach, multiple sources have confirmed to GoPowercat.com.  Patterson replaces Ron Prince, who was fired Wednesday. - Tim Fitzgerald   Nov, 7, 2008
