For being such a “tough guy” he lets things get to him easy. New flash Martin, the fans have seen you give up on the team this season and are following your lead, but please continue to cuss out the players instead of coaching and moan about fans.

“You can quote me on this, let’s be glad (negative people are) not playing or coaching at South Carolina or the rest of the season would be a major problem.”

Okay, FFF, I'll be positive. I'm positive as long as you are coaching here, the rest of the season will be a major problem. Look on the bright side, though. Just a few more weeks left, then you can take your annual March vacation.

I counter with, tell me one positive thing that comes out of CFM during a game.

 

[Cocky 45]

Coaches come and go but the fans and alumni are here for life, I don't feel bad for these coaches making millions crying about some people being negative, just beat teams you're supposed to and this doesn't happen. Blaming fans for being negative is ridiculous.

 

[Coq_de_Combat]

Wow, CFM is thin-skinned.

Unfortunately, Ray Tanner will be really pleased with the job he has done. He has an audience of one. As long as Ray Tanner gets paid, nothing will be done.

When the coach starts complaining about the fans, things don't go well. (See also Chad Holbrook)

Yep. Tanner AD era summed up in one word: inaction

 

[world famous 3rd base hecklers]

Martin is looking to pick a fight with the fans...

My fight will be, I won't show up to watch the men's team...

 

[TheReelEss]

I like the guy overall. But it seems he always has the cart before the horse. If you build it, they will come. If you make an inferior product, don't expect the consumer to pay for it or even to not say negative things on social media about it.

Don’t forget Muschamp.

I have not purchased season tickets nor been to a game after Frank Martin's first year. I got tired of his act very quickly! (It's not a good situation when you fear your coach may attack/choke one of the players during a game)

 

[GeauxCocks7]

Loser ass coach. We need a complete overhaul of coaches for 2021. And a new ad. Our athletics are at an all time low

 

[UpstateGC]

He's simply "coaching up" the fans like he does his players.

Frank is the classic businessman who knows absolutely nothing about his customers. He could generally care less about us. What is really difficult to grasp is how he can focus on negativity hurting the program. The majority of it comes from him on the court and his comments.

Coach, I got tickets this year, and I wish I had bought women's tickets. As long as you, Tanner and Muschamp run down the men's programs, your "customers"...the fans, are bolting in masses. This is insulting to those of us who are not out here yapping and condemning without a reason. We have a very good reason to complaining.

What I recommend for you, Tanner and Champ to do is win. If you cannot win, at least shut up, or get out. Argggggh!

 

[Millertime6289]

Okay, give us something to watch then......besides shit

Disgusted. Wasted my money again to be told I'm the problem. Arrogant cluelessness pervades the men's basketball, football and Athletic Director's departments. They could care less about us. It's all about what we can do for them.

 

[USC75Grad]

Martin is bad news. He is a terrible representative of our University. I'm afraid he is going to do something that will really be a "black eye" on our school. He needs to go NOW!!!

 

[tigerhater_1]

Coach is 57-72 in conference play at South Carolina. Maybe he should "worry about that." Outside of the Final Four run, I can count on one hand the meaningful games his teams have won. It's time for a change with CFM. Let Dawn coach both teams.

 

[polo-loco]

Lol.

Hey Frank, if you're reading this, you're wasting time that could be better spent teaching free throw shooting.

And if you don't like the fans, you can leave anytime.

 

[FORKCOCK]

Quit losing home games to teams we should easily beat.

Quit being out of tournament consideration before conference play begins.

Quit missing out on big time homegrown talent.

Try coaching the players up during games.

What strikes me as odd about this is that Coach Martin is on Twitter. He's on social media. That's hard to harmonize with "Tell me one positive thing that comes out of social media," no?

Correct; Frank doesn't care about our fans. We had a very nice crowd for the Stetson game, especially considering it was a weekday afternoon and a poor opponent. I took the day off from work to go. We then promptly lost to one of the worst teams in the country and all the goodwill from beating Clemson and Virginia was gone.

 

[Blackland]

Winning takes care of a lot of issues with fans. Learn it, Know it, love it Frank...

 

[FORKCOCK]

We love Carolina unconditionally.

Frank is paid big money to be here.

We'll be here long after he's gone.

He needs to lay off the fans.

 

[GamecockDiehard]

Martin, you lost me when you refused to drive Thornwell in the lane in the Final 4.
How much?

Right! Wisest post I’ve read in a long time.

 

[ansoncock]

We, the fans will start to get positive when Coach Frank begins to recruit
SEC caliber athletes instead of reeling in a #75 ranked class.

 

[FORKCOCK]

Don’t mess with the fans when you can’t win. That’s a loser.

I like a guy with passion. However, if he cusses out players that is over the line. I have not personally seen that myself.

This is the way

he isn’t worth our mind share.

Here's a life lesson for you Coach.Blaming fans for losing never,ever, helps you win ball games.That is what you are paid to do,so just do it.Stop your whining,stop your passive aggressive BS and just freaking coach.You want to teach life lessons then quit and become a guidance counselor.But before you do take an anger management course.

He’s like our other idiot, Boomchump. They both cry like a couple of Nancy’s.

Frank's teams can not win
Frank blames losses on the fans
Fans don't watch bad teams

A coaches time is over once he casts blame everywhere but himself.

Frank Martin has about 12 million reason not to give a crap about the fans or the team, but that is just me. Muschamp has about 18 million reasons.

USCALUMNI

 

[Chopper007]

Give us something to get excited about coach. Does the word consistency mean anything to you? If the fans don't show and we have a good record that is one thing, but not to show up to watch the frustration that you are producing is something else!!!
