90% of the fanbase wanted Fulmer gone too. It was time for him to go. And he didnt fire Martin.


Try again.

The guy who pushed out Frank Martin from Kansas State basketball. Martin is now the head coach at South Carolina, a team that's in the final four. So Currie clearly knows talent when he sees it.

To be clear it took Martin 5 years to get South Carolina to the final 4. It is not like he showed up at SC and they stared winning right away - because they did not. He was 15-39 in the conference in his first 3 years.

Shhh.


The thought of our fanbase giving anyone 5 years before calling for their head is laughable. Imagine the outrage if it takes Barnes 5 years to get to the tournament.

Martin had proven that he was a really good coach long before that. It's not like the program improving is a total shock to everyone

A little context here would be nice.

Martin took KState to the NCAA tourney his last 3 years there, 4 out of 5 years there overall. Never won less than 21 games and was one possession away from beating Kentucky for an Elite 8 appearance two years before Currie ran him off.

Additionally, when he got to SCar, that mecca of college basketball, they had just gone 39-53 the 3 previous collective seasons.

Moreover, he won 25 games there last season and was somehow left out of the NCAA tourney. He is now 52-18 the last 2 seasons at freaking South Carolina.

So yeah, our good buddy John Currie did indeed run off an outstanding basketball coach at KState.

Exactly. He didn't just magically become good the last two weeks, or even two years.

Those folks with agendas crack me up. Anything to bash the school you supposedly support.

And for what - just because someone didn't listen to you and hire / fire who you want.

Grow up you can't have it both ways.

Martin would have been fired at UT after year 3. Barnes will need to make the tournament next year or folks will be calling for him to be fired.
