We'll know if this was a smart move on A&M's part once we see what he can do without a freak of nature at QB - see Chizik.
My thoughts, too. Was TAM's early SEC success from good coaching or good recruiting a couple of years ago?We'll know if this was a smart move on A&M's part once we see what he can do without a freak of nature at QB - see Chizik.
Someone on ESPN said earlier this puts him out of the running for the UT job. Apparently he has a lockdown clause of some sort for 1 year in this new contract.Not sure a $5mm buyout would stop someone but this is nice
I think he is the real deal (Top 25 at least). I definitely would not compare him to Chizik. Chizik had Cam and more importantly Gus to thank for his success. Sumlin had a 12-1 season at Houston so he has shown that he can win at 2 places. That is a large deal for his body of work though. The problem is if they had waited someone else may have tried to snatch him.We'll know if this was a smart move on A&M's part once we see what he can do without a freak of nature at QB - see Chizik.
LOL...My thoughts exactly!!Haha, only an aggie would give a 19-6 coach that's literally never won anything that kind of money...
HAHA..Exactly Brad..There's No doubts that he's a really good HC, is he worth $5mill a year good, I know I wouldn't pay him that much, and would be ticked if I were a Aggie Fan..Cause when "Johnny Football" went down this year, they looked average at best, & looked more like a glorified Conference USA team than an SEC Team..When you pay $5mill to a HC, that's treading NFL type salaries, and right now, Sumlin hasn't proved he's worthy of that kinda salary..JMHOHaha, only an aggie would give a 19-6 coach that's literally never won anything that kind of money...
I'd say 4 phenomenal....those tackles were pretty awesome too...., but none were his recruitsHe is a middle of the pack coach who had two phenomenal players. I guess the Aggies where more scared of the Texas coaching situation than most people thought.
JIB, guess it's like the old saying - beauty is in the eyes of the beholder - I guess it's the same as far as coaches go to.He's coming off an 8-4 year, 4th in the SEC West. They lost to every good team they played.
