Poll: Kevin Sumlin Support

[UT_King]

The people saying no are either expecting Gruden still or racist. This would be a slam dunk hire. Especially after the road we’ve been down the last five days.

Wrong and wrong... maybe there are just better options available.

 

[OneVolNation]

No one is selling Tee short, he just needs more time. That's why Kiffin as head coach, Tee as OC, and Steele was perfect. Then Tee takes over when Kiffin is done.

No argument here.

I'm in favor of interviews for all.

 

[411South]

i can't vote in this ... my option is not available: yes, with great DC.

He had a great DC at A&M (Chief) and still couldn't win.

Sumlin - HC, Tee - OC, Steele - DC. Lateral moves for Tee and Steele but offer them enough money and the might come. Plus make Fulmer or Blackburn AD. If these things happened it would be the best Christmas present ever.

 

[OneVolNation]

With $10 million coming his way that doesn't have to be reduced with a new gig, will Sumlin be motivated? And he would still have to play Bama which apparently is "rat poison" to any coach wanting to come here.

A win against Bama in this era is a jewel in any coach's crown.

 

[Volbrando]

I don't see the lateral moves happening unless we throw a lot of money at them

Don't think Tee would leave usc for another OC job...for a head coaching job, yes, but not OC

 

[BenGrimm]

I would be Ok with this.

Or Make it Les Miles for 3-4 years with Tee as HC in waiting.

If we somehow can somehow make it out of this joke of a coaching search with Kevin Sumlin, I'll be ecstatic. He wasn't the top name on my list at the start of the process. But compared to what we've seen thus far and compared to someone like Dan Mullen, who the media was fawning over for us to get, I think this would be a major win.

Kevin Sumlin is a better recruiter than Dan Mullen. And he's had more success in the SEC West. I don't wanna hear anything about the resources at Miss State vs Texas A&M. When Kevin Sumlin got to A&M they were an average Big 12 team.

Kevin Sumlin > Dan Mullen

 

[saxvol]

Helluva recruiter too

In Texas sure.

You do realize that this sounds too good so Haslam will have to chop it down.

 

[fade route]

Sumlin with Tee as OC would at least keep Haynesworth off Twitter for a while

 

[Christian Lowe]

Sorry, but no. I want Sumlin at this point... but they're 3-3 against each other and Sumlin had 4 and 5* players. Mullen had 2 and 3*s.

 

[ReelfootVol]

Somebody ask C. Holloway to call Sumlin and beg him to come to Tennessee.

Dumbass poster of the year

 

[Lawrence Wright]

Based on this info I just put $500 on a prop bet for UF to win next year’s CFP.

He knows this.

 

[Volanta]

Bring on Sumlin!

 

[AM64]

Butch beat Sumlin on plays and lost on turnovers. LSU routinely beat A&M. Go with Miles; Sumlin just isn't that impressive.

Did you mean PFC? Cause I know you meant the Phil Fulmer Cup.

Wrong

 

[HooahVol]

I seem to be the only person on this site to keep bringing up John Chavis but older Vols do remember the old 3rd and Chavis days right? Since Chavis already has a working relationship with Sumlin it seems like a no brainer he would come home to Knoxville as DC with Sumlin as HC.

 

[JoAllan]

I'm down for a Sumlin hire.......I just wish he could/would brign Martin and Steele with him.

 

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

Then why was he just fired?

Cause Texas A&M thinks they are something they are not.

They think they should be competing for SEC titles every year when in reality they are the 4th best program in the SEC West after Alabama, Auburn, and LSU.

Kevin Sumlin performed right about where his team's talent level said he should perform. He should never have been fired. The fans over there are just delusional.

I think Sumlin can be a success here.

Nah. I’ll take Sumlin and be thrilled with him at this point. But while Sumlin did less with more, Mullen did more with less.
