Frank Martin has shown we can lose a coach to a place like Purdue. But I think Klieman and Gene have a slightly better relationship than Frank and Currie.
Excellent points
I think there was pressure coming from some large doners that didn`t like Frank's antics. Frank said "adios".
The situations aren't even remotely close. Frank went to South Carolina because of things having nothing to do with on field items, money, or resources. If Chris Klieman had a contentious relationship with his athletic director and a segment of the donor base, no one would be surprised if he left for Purdue. What makes this scenario laughable is because he has a low pressure job, which he's achieved success, with a boss who he has a wonderful relationship with and a fan and donor base who universally loves him. He's got what seems to be a pro quarterback returning, and seemingly a generational quarterback in his best recruiting class. He wouldn't be making more money and he wouldn't be getting better facilities or a better recruiting base.
The Purdue thing was laughable and made no sense because, right now, there's no reason for him to take that job, just like Frank wouldn't have taken the South Carolina job in April 2010.
