Sumlin Officially Available

We could probably get him on a bubble contract since he didn't have a modifying clause in his buyout. Heck, we could pay him $1 and he would still make more than Saban.

A case could be made that 41 of Sumlin's 51 wins were unimpressive. For starters, 18 of them came against putrid non-Power Five teams. Six more are added via Arkansas, who went 33-42 during the six-year stretch and never once finished above 8-5.

The remaining 17 are teams that went 8-5 or worse. Nine of those 17 finished at or below .500, and of Sumlin's 31 wins since 2014, 23 of them were over Arkansas, non-Power Five teams or opponents that finished at or below .500.

The Aggies won a few big games with Johnny Manziel, but they declined in that aspect since his departure. A&M defeated seven teams that finished in the Top 25, and only three of them have come in the past four seasons. Since 2014, A&M is one of five SEC teams to not win more than eight games (Arkansas, South Carolina, Vanderbilt, Kentucky).

So while Kevin Sumlin won a large number of games, a vast majority of them came against weak opponents.

Thanks but no thanks

Sumlin would be a better cultural fit here than some. I really don't know why he didn't win more at A&M. I wouldn't freak out if they hired him.

he would be an absolute steal. He also most surely is aware of or knows one Cuonzo Martin. Best of luck with this one.

Sounds like Dan Mullen's record.

Not my top choice but at this point we simply need someone in charge of football to start something positive.

Sumlin, Strong, Norvell, Brohm, Mack Brown, Frost, Les Miles. Just hire someone quickly.

Oh, and Currie should probably lose his job. Man, i was really hopeful he was gonna do things smart and get us turned around, shame. And i really thought the Gruden threads would end.

And you were blasting me yesterday for the name slip! I totally agree with the above....especially the last sentence!

What does Fulmer's record look like when examined in that light?

Sumlin literally = Butch.

Sumlin didn't beat Bama, Johnny football did.

Just like Dobbs won a bunch of games for Butch. No thanks. Take a gamble on someone elae.

Can't the same be said for a lot of big wins anywhere?

Worked ok for South Carolina to hire a coach dismissed by another SEC school. Bielema also is worth a look.

That's true....I couldn't come up with Muschamp. Bielema would be a good coach. May not take us to the promised land but I think he's a step up from Butch.

He has beaten Saban (with Smart as DC), Mullen, and everyone else in the East. He has won more with less talent than we had this year...and recruits very well. Not to mention, remember how well he did last time he had a guy wearing #2 at QB......get it done and get it done tonight! Save our program after this dumpster fire of today!
