If Frank leaves
- Thread starter Brooster
- Start date
...so how do those characteristics differ from what we currently have with Coach Martin?
Hope he doesn't leave but I would think we would try to get Boynton if we can get him out of that contract.
He's coached here, as an assistant.
Serious question, but what is a SEC mens basketball coach type ?
As long as the next coach shows the ability to bring a consistent winning campaign year in and year out, I'm willing to bring him aboard.
In football, the local talking heads refer to SEC defenses, SEC running backs, SEC offenses etc.., so I would assume there is such a thing as SEC basketball coach.
He was an assistant to Felton, then Felton was an assistant at Kentucky when Tubby was the head coach.
Good lord people, use your brains. Why so much hate for the ONLY men's basketball coach to take USC to the Final Four and the ONLY coach since McGuire to put together 4 straight winning seasons?
1) Frank had a relationship with former UCONN coach Jim Calhoun... that was the only thing tying him there.
2) Frank has a 15 million dollar buy out. He's not going anywhere.
3) It's well known that Marshall is an a$$ and that's why no other major school has signed him either! Word was that he ticked off enough people here years ago and will NEVER get a call from USC.
This past season obviously was not great, but for those wondering about what happened in recruiting.... signing and recruiting were pretty much already done before we even got to the Final Four last year. You won't see the fruits of that run in recruiting until this coming year or after that since you have to get "in" on recruits so early these days.

I read Frank has a 3.5 mil buyout in the post and courier. Just wondering if its 15 or 3.5. That's quite a difference. Btw I hope he stays and think he will but I'm not really connected. Just my gut feeling

This seems like a logical option, in the future. I would like to see if he can keep a 20+ win pace. I season does not really seem like a good indication, especially for a team that won 20 games the year before he was hired.
Now, this is a different subject...
If Martin leaves, it's because of the SEC League not having their own Referees and getting fined for complaining about the SEC league...
He already shot that report down. At least he shot down his interest in the gig. There are other big names in that search so I will believe him until I hear otherwise.

I have no idea what "an SEC type coach" is, but I take comfort in the opinion that the original poster has no idea what that means, either.
I just can't comprehend a 'good ole boy' from Greenwood, SC, being a 'well known ass'. I worked with one of Marshall's relatives for many years. Probably the nicest guys in a department that was loaded with jerks!
Maybe Frank will take SEC officials with him. I'll help with the bus tickets.
Just one of the excuses that people use to hate on him. He is intense and supremely confident, which is what I would hope any coach we hire would be. He is a nice guy from the few times I've spent with him years ago.I just can't comprehend a 'good ole boy' from Greenwood, SC, being a 'well known ass'.

I hear Horn isn't doing anytning. Second time the charm?
We gonna bring back Fat Bradstard too?
What about the OP made you think he hates Frank Martin? Looks to me you're making an awful big assumption.
I don't think we have enough buffets in Columbia for him.
If we build them, he will come.
Could not agree more. That's what happens when you make assumptions. Often times I'd like to see things from their point of view, but I just can't seem to get my head that for up my azz. (JasonScottinSC, that last comment is not directed at you.)

And they will go broke. We are just now getting to the point were restaurants in Cola will offer all-you-can eat buffets again.
Actually not fond of buffets, just offering some free business advice to you guys that may be interested in opening " all you can eat buffet" Actually at Red Lobster as we speak.
I could see Frank considering a move if the opportunity arose. Although the UConn job is not the same UConn job it was during Calhoun's tenure, and probably never will be again. The program lost a lot of it's identity when the Big East fell apart. But I could see Frank making a move. A very hot stretch that produced a final four run, was just that. A hot stretch that was great, but unexpected, as the team hadn't shown that consistency all year. Other than that Frank's time in Columbia has bordered on the mediocre. Yea, it's better than Odom, or Horn. But not exactly the type of turnaround many we're hoping for. Frank knows the game. He knows even if the program is better than it was, that folks want to see improvement more along the lines of what Barnes has done at UT. Sometimes it is better to stay one step ahead of the wolves and leave before they start howling
