...just walked in where I work. I asked him if he was a fan, and he said yes, but he only really cares about football and baseball. I asked him about Frank Martin and mentioned that I was a K-State fan. He told me that no one in Columbia really follows and/or cares about SC basketball. His family goes to some home games (tickets are a dime a dozen apparently), and that the fanbase really doesn't care for Frank or his antics. Basketball is so non-existent and has been so awful there (other than the NIT appearances in '05/'06) that he thinks that Frank will be gone (let go/leave) as soon as a more desirable job opens.
On a side note, he said he'd love to see a football game between the Spurrier's Gamecocks and Snyder's Cats. He loved Klein and that "little number 16". Nice guy. Idk, thought I'd share... 
That is some pretty HFBIQ from non Big 12 fan. As a Frankite, I predict Frank will win over the FB only fans with success, just has he did here.
I don't think they'll give him enough time. I don't think the AD there now is the one that hired him.
When you have a school that doesn't care about basketball, it's hard to say what they'll do. If you're a SLTH, odds are they'll keep you around if the people like you. If you're a lightning rod, and you're not winning, they'll probably cut ties.
I think Frank will make them better, but whether or not he can turn that ship around in time is the real question, IMO. They're 4-13 in a 14 team SEC that may only get two NCAA tournament bids. I mean, Jesus Christ, that's awful.
