Is this guy for real? I honestly can't believe what I'm hearing. Maybe I'm biased but this has to be one of the best new Coach press conferences of all time. Absolutely the perfect coach at the perfect time for South Carolina.

Sign me up, I can't wait for the first game. I think Martin is the guy that can turn us around.

I've been thinking the same thing. He doesn't dodge issues ... he attacks them. Amazing.

I was not going to renew my season tickets as of 2 weeks ago. That has changed!

We all couldn't wait for this past season to conclude....it's amazing how quickly that can change with a coach like Martin at the helm. I am beyond pumped about the possibilities as we move forward!

He has literally said all the right things. I had no plans for season tickets but I'm seriously reconsidering that.

Can't wait for basketball to start again. Wait... did I just say that?
If Hyman hit a homerun with this hire, I think Martin just hit for the cycle during the presser.

I was impressed, too, with the fact that he wants to bring former players back into the program and called their names.

I like the way he emphasized that..."THE" University of South Carolina. I wish our other coaches would pick up on that and it would spread to the fans.
Man, it would piss off those taters every time they heard it. It would take them back to Datboy's rant and his comments about Clemsux being the state school. I think they would start to cuss Datboy for bringing that upon them.

Some high points besides his overall demeanor.
Bringing back former players.
Locking down the state in recruiting.
Emphasis on fans and attendance.
Unquestionable academic priorities.
It's obvious that he did his homework.

+1
Especially the fact that he named the former players by name. It was easy research but gave the impression he cared a lot.
