I have mixed feelings. Coaching is his career, aka, advancement in the job is to go to large schools and continue to make more money or get raises and then maybe make a jump to NBA. Frank is obviously a very hard worker and I would assume he wouldn't ever want to settle for anything. Obviously a job like KU/UNC/Kentucky (over $3mil figures) would be final pit stops for coaches before making a jump to NBA if that’s a desire. KSU isn't one of those, so any coach we bring in would be susceptible to moving on and advancing their career. So part of me thinks (and had confirmation last week) that he thoroughly likes KSU and could be using this opportunity to get a raise and advance his career. Another part of me thinks there is a more subtle way of getting KSU to offer him more to stay then to interview with AP and go national with his personal thoughts.
So to sum it up, as someone in a business trying to advance my career, I totally understand. As a hardcore KSU fan, I wish he would have done this behind the scenes. If I was an administrator for KSU, I would be very pissed about that interview. Though, he could care more about family/friends in the Manhattan area, fan base like KSU, making enough to secure his future and his kids future (over 1mil a year can easily do that), and KSU at 1.1 or w/e he makes is perfect the way it is.
