Texas A&M: A&M has confirmed that Mike Sherman will not be retained. Their release states that an interim head coach is expected to be named tomorrow.

Texas A&M: Sources close to the situation have told us that A&M intends to buy Mike Sherman out of his agreement and their top target is Kevin Sumlin.

Kevin Sumlin: We have learned that another major university is about to launch a huge offer for Kevin Sumlin.

Arizona State: ASU and Sumlin's agent have both denied that there has even been contact at this point. Houston plays Saturday in the Conference USA championship game.

Just saw this on the crawl on ESPN. Sherman is done in College Station.

done deal. So funny how Aggie can't handle being UT stepchild. They'll have to live with this loss forever and then be like 3-9 in SEC. Not good times ahead.

With the talent they had this year, 10-2 should have been a forgone conclusion. The new coach better be ready for some [deleted] whippings for a few seasons. Reveille must be poopin' the crate.

If A&M is smart, they'll hire Kirby Smart. No pun intended.

Art Briles.

Maybe Larry Fedora.

I bet A & M gp after USM's Fedora. I think he either grew up, or coached in College Station.

That's a ton of crazy RT @SPORTSbyBROOKS: Told by source w/ knowledge of situation that ASU prepared to offer Sumlin $4 million per year.

If there is ANY truth to that tweet, than Sumlin needs to be packing for 'zona NOW.

In 2005, Fedora joined Mike Gundy's staff at Oklahoma State. His brother, Lee Fedora, serves as head coach at Navasota High School in Navasota, Texas. His other brothers John Fedora and Bruce Fedora live in College Station and Austin.

Fedora played wide receiver at Austin College before starting his coaching career as a graduate assistant there in 1986. He spent four seasons as head coach at Garland High School, a powerhouse in Texas high school football, but then returned to the collegiate ranks, coaching tight ends, wide receivers and running backs for six seasons (1991-96) at Baylor.
