Just caught his post game presser from last night and I'm a big fan of that guy's toughness and accountability. Love what he's doing with Carolina. You cocks are lucky to have him.

He'll do a great job at Mizzou if we offer.

Love him. I'd take him over any of the sec basketball coaches.

I dont know man, I guess he'll be good at Mizzou, I just thought we would do better

This. We have a guy that praised his team's effort for cutting a 100 point deficit to 90 by the end of the game last night. Give me Martin NOW.

He's a great coach but it's too hard to get elite talent to USCjr. He's brought South Carolina up to the top of the SEC this year without a ton of competition. But the rest of the SEC is catching up with coaching hires, and those other coaches seem to be bringing in much better talent. Starting next year you'll see South Carolina start to slide back to the middle of the SEC. If he wants to compete at the highest level consistently in the SEC then he'll need to go somewhere he can build something like Mizzou

You know when I was sold on him? It was either his 2nd or 3rd year. And I think our OOC was going (relatively) well or we had been a decent team that we weren't expected to beat.
After the bottoming out of the Horn-era and the worst year in our school's history in Horn's last year, SC fans were pretty happy.
And Frank's first response to the media was something along the lines of, "when you win, people forget or ignore about the mistakes you made during the game and they start falsely building up the team into something it's not" Frank was proved right in his first couple of seasons as he worked through those mistakes and we lost a lot of games.
And I guess I had never really thought about how true that is, especially as a fan. It's too easy to look past errors if your team pulls out the W anyway. But it doesn't get past Frank.
He is like Spurrier in that he owns his actions and will be the first to blame the coaching for a loss before anything else.
He also isn't afraid to hold practices where balls aren't even used with the sole focus being on footwork and movement.

Yes we are. He's not only a great coach, but he is really involved in community service, makes sure his guys do right (kicked some off the team in a critical situation last year because of their dumbassery) and he supports all the other sports programs - attends baseball, football, women's basketball and other sports functions all the time.
He's really become part of our family. His wife is a great gal too - she says they are here until they die.

Good, not great coach who can't coach offense for shite but recruits and instills toughness and great defensive fundamentals.
He's a high-floor, low-ceiling guy. Can't imagine him ever winning a title but should be in the postseason most years.

He's a great coach and they're only gonna get better.

His K State players apparently wanted him gone because he called them cocksuckers and pieces of shite. Glad to see SC doing well, and hopefully these rumors aren't true, but if they were indeed true, I wouldn't want my son play for him.
