Bruce Weber's unemployment didn't last long.

The former Illinois coach, who was let go by Illinois a few weeks ago, has been hired to replace Frank Martin at Kansas State, sources told CBSSports.com.

Weber will be introduced Saturday at 3 p.m. in Manhattan, Kansas.

Weber was 210-101 in his tenure at Illinois and 103-54 in five seasons at Southern Illinois. He replaces Frank Martin, who left for South Carolina after leading the Wildcats to four NCAA tournament appearances in five seasons.

Good for him, and given his previous inability to connect with AAU types, I think this is good for us as well
