Frank Martin came to K-State with the USC,e deal and asked John Currie to meet it. Currie said 'no.' Now, you can frame that set of facts however you choose.
That's literally the opposite of sent packing.

Was his contract expired?
Sent packing=fired
Yes, his contract was up. He was always out selling himself to others like a street-corner *****. Finally, USC,e bit. He brought their offer to Currie and John said he wasn't going to meet it. Had he met it, Frank would have re-up'd. Earlier in the year, Frank had rejected a K-State offer. But then came the Jamar Samuels episode, player revolt and so on. His days were few by year's end.

His contract was up? Your article is all Miami talk, no USC talk.
ESPN reported that he took the USC job in 2012 and was under contract @ KState until 2015.

He rejected a K-State contract extension earlier that year, let me leave it at that. I might add this has nothing to do with ranking the league, teams or coaches. Why are we here? It's old news. Frank was a cheat. He's gone. Long gone from this league, thankfully.

In the time I was going to respond, you just changed Weber coaching his ass off to Weber coaching not enough.

Good Lord Surly.

Those words were not appropriate nor ladylike.

Are you dense? You brought his name into this thread.

Guys, guys. Let Surly act like K-State took the moral high ground of firing Frank Martin (aka "send him packing") while the rest of us spend the day in reality-land and know what really happened.

Currie was not ignoring his (Martin's) phone calls, hoping he would leave–at least until after he had met with the players. Martin, nor anyone representing him, reached out to Currie until very late in the process. Even then, it was only with a token, “Yeah, if you match what they’re offering, we’ll consider it.” Martin never considered staying once he saw the writing on the wall, and Currie offering to match what South Carolina gave him would not have changed that at all.

Arguing with you is like trying to watch the impeachment Q&A, absurdity.

Humm, good point. Surly is from Kansas.... Random Fan is from Kansas.... anyone else starting to see a pattern here? Has anyone seen the two them at the same place at the same time??

They are pretty stupid if they fired Martin like surly claims. Must be the dumbest athletic department in the country.

Frank Martin had a history of cheating. He cheated at K-State and then bloviated about it not being a big deal. He was also a bully and filthy-mouth coach causing the loss of fan support, administration, and a player revolt. He then went to USC,e and cheated some more all the way to the Final 4. His recruiter ended up in the NCAA/FBI sting. In 8 years at Carolina, he's made one NCAA tournament and that one is clouded. He's 59-73 in the SEC.

You boys are getting less predictable. But sure, I'll bite on the power rank bait.

BU - but I don't believe they're #1 nationally
Ku - NCAA should be ruling soon

TxT - big win over eers last night
WVU - missing quality guards

The other six are impossible to power rank for any good reason. They're all bad basketball teams. But if I have to rank them just throwing darts.

OU - softer than one of those pillow guy products
Texas - talent can't overcome smart
TCU - Bane overcomes Jamie now and then
K-State - Weber coaching not enough
ISU - implosion
oSu - calamity
Baylor
KU
WVU
Tech
Texas
TCU
OU
ISU
KSU
OSU

KSU and OSU should feel bad that ISU is ahead of them.
