It's the butthurt that keeps you away.
Nothing says I care more about the coach than the program like worshiping a guy who went 4-4 (11-10 overall from January to March) at home in conference play his last season, and you still thought it was great just because he was standing on the sidelines, "hey man, we lost, but it was still great because Frank was there and he was all mad and was wearing his KstateO cowboy boots."
We all know kougs is a simpleton, so let's get that out of the way first.
For me it was pretty simple: replacing a guy who
a)
5-4 (11-10 overall from January to March) at home in conference play his last season
with
b) 4-4 (5-12 overall from January to March) at home in conference play his last season
isn't an exciting idea. Settling for other programs garbage isn't exciting. Never did I think I would see the day when dax thought a coach fired (for performance reasons) from a school he considers vastly underachieving in sports would be good enough for him. And not only good enough, but the best poor wittle ole K-State could do.
You can pretend for me its about Frank, but for me its about showing the whole college basketball world that KSU basketball is an inferior program that can only hope to settle for coaches not good enough for the big-time and in a tier below Illinois. Successful enough at a program like Illinois -> get hired by a school Kansas, bad enough to get fired by Iliinois -> good enough to get immediately hired by KSU. Maybe next we can hire whoever fails at NC State?
