According to sources with direct knowledge of the situation, Miami head coach Frank Haith has accepted the head coaching position at Missouri to replace Mike Anderson.
Haith and Missouri athletic director Mike Alden met in Houston on Saturday, just days after Alden was turned down by Purdue coach Matt Painter.
Haith and Alden have discussed a multiyear contract in the 6-year range. Missouri officials are scheduled to meet late Monday night to confirm terms of the contract.
Haith will fly to Miami to talk to his team Monday and then to Columbia, Mo., to be formally introduced.
Haith has two years left on his contract with Miami, worth a total of about $3 million. He has gone 129-101 in seven seasons with the Hurricanes.
Should we worry at all about Frank going to Miami? I don't think so.
-
The first thing I said when I read the head line was, oooh shit. I don't think he is leaving (because he has those cowboy boots) but stranger things have happened.
-
Don't have any insider info, but some of the media outlets in Miami are reporting they don't have the money to go after Frank (Martin).

I've heard that too but I've also heard that Miami is Frank's "dream job" for whatever reason. I'm not ready for HCBU. What makes me feel better is this: "this tweet from Seth Davis of CBS Sports might temper your optimism. "Miami fans dreaming of Shaka Smart can forget it. VCU is better job than Miami. Richmond fans care. Miami fans barely turn out for the Heat."
Are you listening Frank? You'll NEVER be as loved there as you are here!
Someone talk me down!

There's a story on GoPowercat.com talking about Frank's level of interest in Miami. Someone with access needs to report on this immediately. Where the hell is everyone on the day of the most important story in school history? Why haven't we organized a protest to ADJC to demand he do something?
-
What more can he do? I don't think the school has enough money to offer a larger contract then what we gave him last year. Especially with all the new construction going on.
In all honestly I do not see Frank taking this job. If we was a serious candidate we would see much much more activity on ther interwebs about this.
-
A couple of other names for Miami:
UCF head coach Donnie Jones and Florida State assistant Stan Jones
-
Just got done reading a butt load of articles that suggests that Frank:
1: proved he is legit
2: did nothing but build the program (aka, how can you have hard feelings)
3: basically has made it clear that Miami is his dream job (we all knew wvu was Hugs)
4: finished Pullens career
5: dealt with classic KSU drama
6: prob would like Miami's schedule over the new Big 12 one coming up
7: makes exactly the same as Haith made
The list could go on, but I will stop there. :( This could ruin my summer
-
Seems happy here.

For the record, I don't think HCFM is as interested in the Miami job as the media perceives it to be. There is no arguing that south Florida is home, but the pay and program is no better in Miami. Unless Frank is unhappy internally with KSU, I just don't see it happening.

They took a typical Martin I'm not going to lie like Roy Williams response and spun it to make a catchy reader grabbing headline. Frank isn't leaving us. He Can't.
-
Michelle Kaufman of the Miami Herald raised a great point on Tuesday: are Kansas State's Frank Martin and Alabama's Anthony Grant, the two apparent front-runners for the Miami job, even in the school's price range?
"Grant makes $1.8 million per year, and Martin makes an average of $1.55 million through 2015," wrote Kaufman. [Frank] Haith reportedly made in the $1 million range, and perks such as charter flights -- which would be helpful considering the distance between UM and opponents -- are harder to get at UM.
As of Tuesday evening, Miami officials reportedly hadn't even called Martin.
The money factor alone could very well eliminate Martin and Grant from serious consideration. It could also improve the liklihood that the Hurricanes go after one of the candidates we mentioned yesterday, UCF head coach Donnie Jones or Florida State assistant Stan Jones.
-
I would just like to thank all of you for not starting a: "Who is our next Basketball Coach not that Frank Martin has left us for Miami" thread.
-
Man, obviously with big news like this, I was hitting all sites to see if I missed anything.... BAD IDEA, went over to goEMAW and I realized how much time I was wasting reading pointless thread titles and seeing all the bad karma. I happened to find one thread that actually was talking about new information, but then realized again that only 7.33% (repeating of course) of the thread had real information or positive thoughts. I honestly feel sorry for the lurkers over there that are not aware of other free sites. They make a serious concern into a joking story while insulting the program. Must give them props on at least accomplishing that worthless information.
-
ESPN has added Mike Jarvis, Florida Atlantic, as a possibility for the Miami opening. He's joins the following list of candidates:
Frank Martin, K-State
Anthony Grant, Alabama
Donnie Jones, UCF
Stan Jones, Florida State assistant
-
Another reason why I don't think it will be Frank is going, you don't want to replace a coach with the same <strong>name</strong> as your previous coach.
For example we would NOT want to replace Bill Snyder with any other Snyder.
-

Martin != Haith ?
-
Screw you poke. I fixed it!
-
Just doing my job! Carry on.
-
Miami should consider former Boston College coach Al Skinner for its opening. Skinner is the all-time winningest coach in BC history and would be perfect for the personnel with Reggie Johnson a Craig Smith-like force inside. The Hurricanes probably can't afford to lure Frank Martin out of Kansas State to his hometown. Miami can't slip in the ACC.
-
Read some comments from Art Alvarez in the paper tonight and he basically said that the Miami job is crap. Frank trusts Art so this makes me confident that Art has KSU's back in this and it will all be ok in the long run.
-
I just received confirmation from a source that Frank is not going anywhere. This was confirmed three hours ago, sorry for the delayed post. Sleep well!!!! Go Cats!
-
How is MHK tonight?
-
Obviously better now, though lack of sleep has ended it early.

KSUftw I think you may have hurt someone's feelings with this. There is a good QQ validate us thread over there right now.
I really don't understand why they care. 10x our user base and your comment butt hurt someone.

If I work hard enough, I will get their post count up to about 25 in no time here. But, I can save that fun for later.
I am not sure why they are mad either. I wasn't saying off topic discussions are bad, I was referring directly to turning big news (not anymore though, all is confirmed and well) into mocking threads. That's not how I choose to take my free time from work and family and waste it.
-
Also can confirm that Frank Martin is NOT leaving K-State. The goemaw coaching search can be called off.

Report: Martin not finalist at Miami
Cole Manbeck cmanbeck@themercury.com
The search for Miami's new basketball coach has apparently been narrowed down to a few finalists, and one name missing from that list is Kansas State's Frank Martin, the Miami Herald reported Saturday.
According to the Herald, Miami could make a hire as early as Monday or Tuesday, and it is likely the name will come from one of six finalists.
The candidates for the Hurricanes' head coaching position, according to the Herald, are: Alabama Birmingham's Mike Davis, Murray State's Billy Kennedy, Harvard's Tommy Amaker, Richmond's Chris Mooney. Two coaches who are also up for the job are former Oklahoma coach Jeff Capel and former Arkansas coach John Pelphrey. Both were fired from their schools after the 2010-11 season.
PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!!!!!!!!

WoW they are going for cheap. I'm surprised no one is firing their coach just to hire Butler's Brad Stevens.

I've thought about the same thing but if you're Brad Stevens do you really want to leave Butler?
1. I assume he's comfortable with his salary
2. He's from the Indy area
3. He can win the conference every year and go to the NCAA Tournament every year
4. Once in the tournament you know he can get to the Final Four. He has done it two years in a row. Leaving for a job with a better chance to win it all? No!

This isn't college football where you have to go to certain schools to have a chance to win big.

Former BC coach Al Skinner and Florida Atlantic's Mike Jarvis are the names I'm hearing for Miami right now.
-
Jeff Capel seems like a good fit for the job and a potential homerun hire to me.

You do have to go to certain schools to make the big money though. Im sure that speaks to a young coach.

Yea, as long as he has a Blake Griffin on the team, he's a pretty good coach.

The correct answer is that Mr. Eichorst has worked with and is friendly with Rob Jeter, current HC at Wisconsin-Milwaukee, so I'm saying it right now.....Wildcat Nation REJOICE!

MIAMI -- Miami Heat forward Udonis Haslem hopes Kansas State coach Frank Martin has a shot at the Miami Hurricanes' vacant coaching position.
Haslem played for Martin at Miami High and said Friday that "if you don't at least interview Coach Frank for that job, you're making a big mistake."
<strong>Martin is 95-43 in four seasons with the Wildcats. The Miami native and Cuban immigrant will be in South Florida this weekend to be enshrined in the Miami High Hall of Fame.</strong>
New Miami athletic director Shawn Eichorst says that anyone with interest in the position will be considered.
Earlier this week, Martin told The Associated Press that he "loves it" at Kansas State but may listen to offers.
but then, there's this:

They are all running with a quick quote Martin said weeks ago and trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill.
-
The latest is good news:
Martin was in Miami this weekend (uh oh) as he was inducted into the Miami High Hall of Fame (oh ok), where he gave a 23 minute speech at the ceremony.
Tim Reynolds, an AP writer in Miami, wrote on his twitter page after watching Martin's speech that, "Martin did not sound like someone anxious to leave Kansas State."
