I definitely believe that there is nothing at all Currie or any other AD could do to keep Frank at K-State longterm. At no time, from the day we heard WVU was courting Huggins until the day Frank announced he was leaving for USC, did I ever think Frank was more than a one contract coach at K-State.
That said, this transition was a total clusterfuck. I do believe Frank, ADJC, the players, parents...everybody involved mumped themselves in the ass over the past year. Could've ended up so much better for everyone.
Now our program is at precarious crossroads and it is all in the hands of a guy who just turned a Porche into a Pinto. If it horrifically crashes, I don't think it's going to be easy to put the pieces back together. That falls squarely on Currie's shoulders.
BTW CC, can you devulge any other names that were on Currie's list? Did you have a favorite?
