First clue, didn't hear any cheering from Columbia...
Looks like Frank Martin is still our coach for another year.
- Thread starter world famous 3rd base hecklers
- Start date
I think apathy has set in with Gamecock athletics to the point where many fans do not care enough to cheer or boo anything right now!
To quote the Gin Blossoms, "If you don't expect too much...you might not be let down."
This is where I am. Although I am excited for the start of the CSB era (“Gamecock fan” and “glutton for punishment” are synonymous I guess...), I am otherwise completely “meh”. Not wasting any more energy on SC sports until Aug/Sept.

But he's staying with no contract extension. In that situation you may as well fire him. It will make it impossible for him to recruit.
R I D I C U L O U S !! if i were this bad at my job, i would have been fired YEARS ago!!
The current administration doesn't feel confident they can replace Martin. I'm not sure they they would be up for the job anyway.
If that is true then tanner has to go. Fans may have to riot to get their point across. Everyone else riots when they don’t get their way.
This is the dumbest comment.
And it is also our AD saying I don't care if we suck again next year. What a joke. Sad that the joke is on us...the fanbase.
WHY!!??? If i didnt perform at my Job, I would be Fired, If this isnt the case with you, CONGRATS!! Your Comment is the DUMBEST i have seen..
Yep. Muschamp II. Everybody knows he's finished but we're going to save a few million and completely crash the program in the process.
And this is all because RT offered both coaches astronomically high buyouts that they did not deserve.
Please stop posting this, Martin got his buyout after the Final Four....
Martin will be gone. If we can save $6M by waiting a week so some suckers hire him, good on us.

What makes you say that? While I expect this to play out today, there has been no indication either way.
The administration is screaming from the mountain top that USC just isn't serious about winning. The last two football coaching searches should have told everyone very clearly, but this underscores it loudly. USC is more than happy to be mediocre, or worse, as long as they get to cash that SEC check. And they figure everyone will keep giving as long as they can chant SEC...SEC everytime Bama wins another football game. Caslen, Tanner, the BOT, are playing the USC fan base for a bunch of suckers eternally intent to wait on a next year that is never coming.
Can we at least wait until an actual decision is announced before getting pi**ed off?
SALES, and if i got a Million Dollar account back in say 2017, and nothing since, HELL YES!! i would be let go!!
That is what I am saying- I see no reports of a final decision being made.
I mean at this point, we are obviously keeping him around in some fashion. You FIRE someone if you are letting them go, you do not drag it on like this..
In addition to, I have not heard yet any of the players declaring to enter the transfer portal.
That's the oldest excuse in college coaching. Just give me another year so my buyout will be bigger. Not giving an extension is the result of lack of success.
Worst ennui I've ever seen in my 70 years.
I have been saying this for the last couple of weeks. You're not going to hire a quality coach if your administration fires a guy that had covid twice and lost an entire month of games. It's a real bad look. You know why there has not been an announcement since last Monday's initial meeting ? Because Tanner has reached out to all the decent coaches out there and has come back empty handed. I would extend Frank's contract to 2 years to give him some recruiting room. If there is a parting of the ways down the road, the extra year salary isn't a drop in the bucket to losing quality recruits or having players transfer.
Had to look that one up. 😁
Then I ask, why is Martin still here ?
As it has been said a ton of times, they are giving Martin time to find a job. Smart move on our part if it happens we save $6M. He will be gone by the end of the week, my prediction, one way or another.
No big deal!! His recruiting lately has been pitiful
I'm certain that's the plan. But he's still lobbying for his job and I'm not certain who would hire him. But yeah, it's worth waiting to see if somebody will take him off our hands.
I'll cheer if he comes back. I'm fine being alone over here
Legally, he could be given an extension for another year without increasing the buyout by revising the wording in the buyout clause.
