Frank Martin takes over S. Carolina

[JonLP24]

Kansas State coach Frank Martin has accepted the head coach position with the South Carolina Gamecocks, he confirmed in a text message to ESPN.com.

Martin met with South Carolina officials Monday and said conversations first started between his party and South Carolina on Saturday. Martin had texted Friday night that he had not spoken to South Carolina officials.

He was in New York to work for the CBS studio show. Martin was asked on air if he had spoken to South Carolina but at that point he personally had not yet.

Earlier Monday, a source with direct knowledge of the situation said South Carolina was reviewing a potential $2.05 million deal to hire Martin. Martin's Kansas State contract paid him $1.45 million a year. The source said the South Carolina board was reviewing the proposal and if the framework of the deal was accepted then a formal offer would be made to Martin and he would accept.

Coach Horn was a winner until he took that job. Nice guy, I hope he gets another chance at another school.
