Much as it pains me to say it Frank, going forward, would have been a disaster. He was done. Players (not spradling) were on their way out. It was a sinking ship. I didn't believe the players revolt stuff before, but I do now.
What GPC poster posted this, was it CJH? Nicname, go back and point out to them that the good players on last year's team have shown to still have a relationship with Frank even after he left. I would have you also point out to this person that Frank had players leave every spring and everything turned out fine, but the clown would make some kind of rationalization to make themselves seem right. I'd also point to the players who have left since Frank left and I'd question them on if this revolt would as bad as what happened since Frank left, but I bet this person would not be honest about the impact of the players who have already left under oscar.
I dunno man, this guy worked closely with Frank and oscar and has had close relationships with players as well (not media stuff). If I remember correctly he still has a good relationship with Frank. He doesn't fall on the dishonest side, and when I originally posed the question my angle was much the same as yours and I was surprised at his answer. Like I said, it is just what I believe. That, plus Frank's relationship with Currie that, at least as far as you and I can tell, wasn't rosy, wouldn't have been good.
This was just in a random conversation earlier this fall, btw.
Frank is cool and was cool, I hope he and Unds do great at USC. I think he is cooler and made EMAW hoops more fun than oscar probably will be able to, if only for his personality and star quality. I didn't want him to leave, but now, I think it was probably the best thing for both Frank and K-State under the current administration. That's all, man.
