The Case for Kevin Sumlin

[ManAboutTown]

.....hell, we had him beat at the half.....and JD was rockin and Rollin....until the sideline mishap!!!

Man, you really are an old kook if you believe that...

Nobody in the history of sports has ever had anyone beat at the half. Games are not a half long. All this "almost won", "shoulda won", "if only this or that" bull____ is part of the loser ___ mentality this program has. Stop perpetuating it.

I don't think we have a snowball's chance of landing him.

But I absolutely agree that we should call him.

Problem with sumlin is he has had money everywhere he has been with the exception of WR coach at Wyoming 20 years ago...even at Houston he had plenty of money. If we could possibly somehow manage to convince him and afford him(which I️ doubt) he would laugh at our recruiting budget and money for assistants.

But maybe convince them to up the budget better than other candidates..

he has never done more with less...smallest budget he operated on was 40 million in a city of 4 million people. Just don’t think it’s realistic...his staff would be made up of GA’s from A&M...his circle is too rich . Make him say no, but I️ don’t think the conversation would get very far.

I wonder what part of the $40M budget was football? Do you know?

Depending on his assistants contracts, maybe could bring some of them along.. there's no doubt, it's slim chance.. but let's make the case we're serious.

If it was only half that’s our entire athletic budget

Yea, you're right. It's a slim chance. If only we were a bigger school, like say 20,000 students. Or if we were like the second biggest school in the State. Then we may have a chance. Woe to us. We will never catch a break. Might as well not even try. Woe to us.

MAT, you are exactly right. We have much more here to offer than people realize. This is not the USL of the 70's. You have to go for the gusto before it can come to you.

Where did anyone say not go for it? ___ call Saban while we are at it. I️ mean we have to at least try right? Why don’t you lost thoughts, ideas and numbers of why he would come here? His agent is going to ask how much we talking salary? Ok, even if that number gets him listening the next numbers will be the deal breaker. It’s calked reality m, sumlin isn’t damaged goods looking to rejuvenate his reputation. He didn’t wreck his motorcycle with his mistress on it after quitting his previous job by leaving a note. He had a winning record in the SEC and a clean record. He just turned down an SEC east job...and he needs to come to the SBC? He would do tv before coaching here IMO. Way more to lose here than to gain on his side.

Well Gus Malzahn didn't fit any of those descriptions either, but he landed at Arkie St.

Terry Mohjir is an aggressive AD. He's not afraid to make a call. I respect that. If word comes out that we reached out to Armstrong and Sumlin and they turned us away, I'll be fine with that. If we don't, I'd be disappointed. I think Sumlin is the best hire we could make at this point.

We're nobody until we're somebody.. Like the rest of the G5s that have made it. JMO.

Malzahn has never been a head coach except in high school ranks, not even close to the same thing. StAte was his first gig.

Mohajir wasn't the AD when Malzahn was hired at stAte.
