I mean I don't think they can do any better than Frank, but an extension right now is...unusual. Was he going into the last year of the contract or something and they were afraid it would hurt the recruiting he doesn't do?

as for Frank...he and USC are still working through an adjusted contract. he never got a sniff for the UNLV or DePaul jobs. Caslen/Tanner were moving towards relieving Martin from his post and then - of course - POLITICIANS and a few BOTs got their arse on their shoulders and forced USC to keep Frank. it's a shitshow not uncommon to Carolina Athletics.


Frank was granted 2 years beyond his current deal - which has 2 years remaining. there is $0 buyout for the additional 2 years that were just added.

Frank wanted an extension in the post-season meeting with Ray Tanner the week following the SECT/Nashville. USC said no extension. Frank said he may have to look around. USC said we understand.

then a certain SC Senator and a certain BOT member decided to play frickaround and force the Legislature to hold USC hostage to keep Frank - with a $35M new building for our Medical school that HAS to be built to replace the one the VA is re-acquiring. Politics won.

So annoying, and Clemson just gets to do what they want to win. They don't have to deal with this shite, AND they get to funnel money through churches.

Don't you think he's earned it having to live in Columbia?

I have been in those situations where all you can do is sit back and say "Oh My God."

He was always going to get another year

Built in covid excuse. No extra buyout. No real favorable replacement other than going with an unknown. Just fired a football coach

Frank’s a good coach. The following are the problems:

1. Our AD is an imbecile

2. Our fan base doesn’t help us recruit

3. Frank’s a tough son of a bitch who won’t coddle any young man.

There was a solid 2 weeks after the season ended where I would've swore I saw that he had been fired.
