If they fire Sumlin I don't think the Aggies hire a coach that has only one winning season in 3 years. And they are mad at Sumlin and he won 8 games this year while in the SEC. Why would they hire a guy that wins 8 games in the AAC.

There are plenty of folks that feel that way on the TAMU boards ...

Homerun hire. Best possible candidate for the job. Love the Texas high school ties too. Our leadership got it right, kudos.

Really excited to hear this. Love this guy.

Tidepony did not mean to infer that Mack and Saban were in the same class as coaches. Just simply pointing out what a great coaching staff can/should do with elite talent. Right now Saban stands alone.

It's all relative. You can easily argue that no coach has done less with the kind of talent Mack has recruited the last 10+ years. Look at Saban as a comparison. Mack left at least one MNC on the table when he benched Applewhite for Simms.

I call it being 19. But hey, feel free to run with a comment from an ESPN blog as gospel.

Never heard a definitive confirmation on where he ended up. He left A&M at the end of the season last year. He'll need to sit a year, but never redshirted so he has 3 years of elgibility left. The kid can ball out.
From Skyline and rumor is he wanted to be closer to his family; some sort of family ...

The Cayleb Jones thread jogged my memory. Is Johnson to SMU a done deal? Would be a huge pick up if he's ready to play again. Incredible talent. Played as a true freshman at A&M among a group of veteran receivers.

Love the addition of Mumme to the staff. Bold move by JJ.

Agreed, you get more credit for wins at the end of the year than you do for a quality schedule. Both Mack Brown and Leach used this strategy early in their tenures at Texas and Tech.

His recruiting wasn't exactly commensurate with double digit win seasons.

Petrino is a great offensive coach. His problems are two fold: he doesn't recruit and he's got HUGE character problems. Arkansas will be recovering from the lack of talent he left on the defensive side of the ball for a few more years.

He's a zero sum guy, but he'll win games before he leaves. And ...

Who knew that a saturday night rant on twitter in reference to a parking ticket would cause so much uproar in the sports media? But nobody should be surprised. it's the ...

I'm with couch'em. I just don't see it happening. Everyone wants to talk about gilbert being in the system for another year, well look how well that worked out at Texas. We're a subpar teeam that is reloading with a qb that throws the ball 100 mph for 5 yard throws and throws that same ball 5 feet ...
