Frank Martin staying at South Carolina, “thought about” vacant Cincinnati coaching post

It seems that Frank Martin’s name can’t stay out of the rumor mill when it comes to head coaching jobs. After shooting down any speculation that he was interested in the UNLV post vacated by the fired Marvin Menzies, the South Carolina head man was linked to the job at Cincinnati, according to Stadium’s Jeff Goodman

On Friday afternoon, though, Martin told Goodman that he would stay put, while admitting that the prospect of returning to the program where he served as an assistant under Bob Huggins was intriguing.

South Carolina coach Frank Martin tells @Stadium he will not meet with Cincinnati about opening: “I thought about it, because of Huggs and my time there, but I love my boss and South Carolina — so I have decided not to meet with them.
