Frank Martin has yet to squash rumors he is a candidate for the UConn vacancy... If he doesn't do so soon Director Tanner should kick his his ass...
Coach Frank named as UCONN candidate
- Thread starter lawcalcock
- Start date
yeah, if he doesn't commit to SC in 24 hours, fire him... SC is able to attract any top coach in America they want
This rumor only benefits FM, he courts UConn for a sweet deal and then he can parlay for a raise or take their offer for more money. He has no clear motive to deny these rumors
I’ll take that bet. Every college coach worth a crap wants to go to a school where there sport is king. What’s king in Storrs, Connecticut?
ok, send me 20.00, i'll hold it, and if you win, i'll sent you 40.00...I'm emailing you my address now.
ok, i'll bet you also, send me 20.00, i'll hold it, and if you win, i'll sent you 40.00...I'm emailing you my address now.
They've got 4 men's basketball national championship trophies in last 19 years, that all!!
We can meet up at a football game and you're welcome to come tailgate with us. I'll have $20 on me.
There's more to it than that. Every coach wants to coach a program like Alabama in football. Not every coach wants to go to Alabama though. He can win here, he's proven that to himself. He also doesn't have near the pressure he will have up there. If he thinks it's hard to compete with women's basketball here as far as attendance goes, he will have a rude awakening in CT.

That's why I only bet $20 and not $200. I think there's a 60% chance he's here next year and a 50% chance the year after, depending on how next season goes.
The sad thing is.. if he does leave, on this site, you'll be surprised how many people will be glad to see Martin go.
Might make MBB the prince, but the ladies are the king (or queen, if you prefer) in Storrs.
Agreed. Why wouldn't he? I'm just surprised UConn doesn't aim higher and/or younger.
I'm going to respectfully disagree with you on this.
AAC has Cincy, Wichita St, Memphis & Houston as their top teams.
This is not a shabby lineup.
You’re right. Big East and AAC have some elite teams.
Now if this were a football job, no way you move from the SEC to the AAC.
Moreover, they have been able to win four (4) NCAA men's championships since 1999. It is a plum basketball job.

Going from one shadow of Dawn to another shadow of Geno isn't a good move...
I rather be under Dawn's shadow...
It’s more about the screwy geography. But to your point, even in a pretty decent year for the conference, they were still 7th in confernce RPI. UCONN needs to get in the big east to be legit again.
I"ll guarantee that university cares more about those 4 men's championships, than 50 women's championships... i know their pocket book does
Frank ain't goin' nowhere and he doesn't live in Dawn's shadow either. There was much more excitement about his Final Four appearance last year than Dawn's NC. Frank can get it done here but some of us think the "magic man" coach is out there just waiting to come to USC. Coach on Frank.

And yet they’ve missed the NCAA tournament 3 of the 5 years they’ve been in the AAC. And are currently in terrible shape.

Are you taking credit for King’s voluminous vocabulary?
you conveniently left out that they won the national championship 4 years ago....far from in bad shape... there are plenty of players willing to play at UCONN with the right coach
the conference matters little..see Gonzaga
Tough talkers on the internet " i would go down the Martin's office and kick his ass and piss on his dead body .
If offered, Frank will probably show this place some taillights.
A few of you posters who have been trashing Coach Martin day and night may get your wish. If he leaves, you deserve to have the a. h. he replaced be named coach for life. While you're at it run go ahead champ off and get fatso back. You deserve those 2.
So they've been twice in five years, eh? How many times have we Danced over that period? It isn't enough for them, which is why they are taking corrective action. They will rebound. The great programs don't stay down because their leadership has the will to reestablish superiority. If we had won four national titles over the past 18 years, we wouldn't countenance poor performance for very long, either.
