Sumlin out at AM

[Mustangs_Maroons]

I thought of Fatterson because he now has a top 10/15 team without having top 10/15 recruiting. He has to rely on schemes on both offense and defense, as well as on transfers, to compete against the traditional big boys. He wouldn't have to do that at a school like A&M, with ability to recruit from day one on par with the best in the country. I still think he would leave the horny toads for a select group of schools, but perhaps A&M isn't on that list.

the often repeated quote about coaching in the SEC is instructive ie that every Coach in the SEC other than Saban has a 3 year contract

[mrydel]

Yep. When Saban dies or retires everything changes

[Pony81]

C’mon guys it’s real simple,
We doubled Chad’s salary and gave him a chance to prove he could be a D1 coach....
A P5 will double his salary and give him a chance he can coach in a P5 league
Frankly, why would anyone eave P5 job with good admin support and 4 mil salary for an extra 1-2 million at a “glamour job”. It’s just not worth the hassle. Patterson is very sensible in this regard.

Why wouldn't a Coach who had a particular concern about an issue (such as sexual violence) want to take a job to fix the problem? Pretty much the job of most coaches. Unless you are saying Baptist and their institutions are intrinsically evil. Provocative I'll admit but probably unfair

Baptists and Baylor University are two different things. Baylor University has in the past been at a minimum
"intrinsically hypocritical" if not downright evil .

This thread nominated for most BS, FAKE NEWS ever on PF

I agree this is two separate things. I also think it’s two separate things between the school and the sports program. I think Art Briles justify this sickness by rationalizing it’s best for the team and his pocketbook. The school I believe clean house and hopefully will get a grip of its athletics program. They should get training from our compliance program that would fix their issues.

Morris gone after this year. Even if it's not a&m it will be somewhere

Our new coach will still be better than AppleBowden

At least he stayed a year longer than herman. Plus our next coach will be better than apple-fritz.

Tom Herman took his team to the Peach Bowl and Houston has an IPF. I know its apples to oranges, but if Morris is able to accomplish that he can go anywhere he wants with my blessing.

[mtrout]

How about the Frisco bowl and a meeting about an IPF? Does that work for you?

[SMU_Alum11]

Everyone keeps saying Morris is out. What happens if Navy and Memphis curbstomb us? Unless it's to like Kansas or a low P5 school, there's no way he gets an offer if that happens. If he beat 1 probably both, then yes I totally agree seeing Morris out the door with a great offer. He needs to get a good win and not competitive losses.

I think Morris is going to be on a lot of lists, but secondary selections on all of them...think:

Tech, after they do some checking and find no one really is really enthused about dust storms...

Aggie, arter they find that Franklin loses to the Big Whatever powerhouses, too...and doesn't want to come to Texas...

Tennessee, which is a mess, but has an easier road to the SEC championship than just about anyone else...they may holler at a couple of retreads first before Morris...

Ole Miss, see above, with an even more difficult road to the SEC championship game...I kind of think they come calling early and often to Morris after they find that Frost is not interested.

Regardless, good for Chad Morris. Interest by several suitors is never a bad thing unless you are Zsa Zsa Gabor. We need to have a short list of prospects on hand at all times for our next coach.

[leopold]

I’m sorry but I’m not seeing anything that says Sumlin is out. Are we being premature?

[mrydel]

Yes
