Poll: Kevin Sumlin Support

[flashoforange]

If we do offer TAMU will hire him back with a raise.

 

[TeddyYeti]

Yes!!! Hire this man!

 

[VEKZY]

yes --- but not with Chavous or a 10 million dollar buyout

Who is Chavous?

 

[hatingbamaisawayoflife]

Gotta love this idea of hiring a guy fired last week

 

[ClearwaterVol]

begrudgingly, yes.

I think we could have had a much better coach if not for the Schiano debacle.

 

[arkyvol]

By all means, lets hire the Aggie reject and take this humiliation to a new level (downward).

 

[508mikey]

Who is Chavous?

how its spelled in french (from his LSU days)

 

[zidanefan]

Who was fired from the SECW and hasn't had an offer we've heard about since.

The options at this point are Sumlin, Miles, and possibly Kiffin. Feel free to make the case for Sumlin over Miles.

 

[AM64]

Miles is not better than Sumlin. Miles refused to update his offense, held maybe the easiest job to recruit to in the country (up there with Texas), and made some of the worst in-game decisions I’ve ever witnessed. All you Les Miles supporters are insane.

Except for the fact that LSU won every game against A&M since 2012 when A&M joined the SEC - including against Manzel. That would seem to make Miles the better coach - 4-0 against Sumlin.

 

[SaintLouisVol]

If we end up with Sumlin, Currie will have done well despite his best efforts.

 

[AM64]

Nothing has been leaked about Beilema being in knoxville....

Hmmmmm




Wierd

Not likely you could miss Beilema.

 

[JMSqb11]

Here is my biggest question, are people going to continue supporting program financially if Sumlin is named.

 

[OHvol40]

How many championships has Sumlin won?
LSU recruiting is easier (not sure how that impacts the quality of Miles btw) but Texas has plenty of talent and Sumlin had loaded rosters every year. How many times did Sumlin out coach Miles? Heck even Butch out coached Sumlin.

Maybe take a look in the mirror before calling people insane.

Oh yeah? Tell me what got Miles fired? Tell why his teams constantly wasted loads of offensive talent? Tell me why Miles could no longer get over the hump in one of The top 3 easiest recruiting situations in the country?

 

[Burger]

Why do we want a coach that got fired from a conference with mostly bad coaches?

 

[MrVol]

Sumlin and Miles don’t have jobs so they will say yes. But why are we going after fired coaches? There’s reasons why they don’t have jobs. Are we that desperate?

 

[VEKZY]

I think 85% puts him at 2nd in terms of acceptance.

1. Kiffin @ 90%
2. Sumlin @ 85%
3. Brohm @ 80%
4. Doeren @ 2% lol:

 

[OHvol40]

Sumlin and Miles don’t have jobs so they will say yes. But why are we going after fired coaches? There’s reasons why they don’t have jobs. Are we that desperate?

Right now... yes

 

[knox73]

Kevin needs to stay above 80% for a top offer.

Vols are pioneering a new coach search strategy.

No search firm. Send the AD out in a private plane and circle the USA until the man is found. Hourly poll updates keep the AD informed on how much he can offer.

Fortunately there is a maturity requirement in the process. Lane Kiffin and any coach that is caught hiring message board trolls to influence polling are disqualified.

 

[Vols1891]

Sumlin and Miles don’t have jobs so they will say yes. But why are we going after fired coaches? There’s reasons why they don’t have jobs. Are we that desperate?

Yes we are absolutely that desperate at this point.

 

[Yesimavol84]

Sumlin would go 10-2, 9-3 every year

 

[zooguy]

Sumlin would go 10-2, 9-3 every year

No he wouldn't. He'd lose to Florida, Ga, and Alabama every year plus losing to 1 or 2 teams he shouldn't. 7-5 to 8-4 coach.

 

[UT_King]

Oh yeah? Tell me what got Miles fired? Tell why his teams constantly wasted loads of offensive talent? Tell me why Miles could no longer get over the hump in one of The top 3 easiest recruiting situations in the country?

You didnt answer a single question. Why?.. because you don't like the answer.

 

[BigOrangeD]

Sumlin would absolutely get my support. He's still a better coach than half the coaches we have offered thus far.

We have players that fit his system as well.

 

[Franklin Pierce]

Hire an A&M reject. That's the ticket to success. A consistent 8 win coach.

 

[BigOrangeD]

Sumlin and Miles don’t have jobs so they will say yes. But why are we going after fired coaches? There’s reasons why they don’t have jobs. Are we that desperate?

Muschump got fired and got a second chance is doing OK at SC. I doubt he will ever win a Natty but 99% of all coaches will never win a Natty.

Sumlin or Miles or Tee. I don't care which at this point. I'd consider us lucky as hell to land any of them.
