The Case for Kevin Sumlin

[ManAboutTown]

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

I never said he was.

[ManAboutTown]

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

My point is, he was not repairing an image. Malzahn could have taken a different job, and that's where I think there is similarity. He was a NC winning OC in the SEC.

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.

He could be the guy to take us to the AAC and the stadium upgrade.

There's no doubt. We have this idea that we're unique from other sunbelt schools, and I think we are. I think we're as unique of a situation as any G5 out there. It's time we go make a hire that proves that.

But he was also accepting his first college head coaching job...not his 3rd and coming from the SEC with a winning record. Malzahn has been coaching in high school longer than college at that point. Louis cook, brent indest and Dez are closer parallels to malzahn than sumlin.

Not to mention, should they turn us down, I would take very seriously any coach recommendations that would come these guys, that's how it works.

That's another thing. Just having conversations with his agent could open up some doors we didn't necessarily consider before. It's a win-win.

You’re exactly right about that being a possibility. That’s exactly how LSU got Saban. They were interested in another coach and offered Saban.

We can put an end to all of this madness, just hire my guy Kevin..

Let's take over NCAAF together Mr. Sumlin..

Of course we’ll never know if we approached his agent unless we get him.

The call has been placed Mr. Jerry. That I know to be true. I know nothing passed that...

That's tough news...

Maggard needs to pull a rabbit out of his hat on this hire!!!

That’s a good spot for Sumlin. He should do very well there.
Being in a large city like Orlando definitely works for UCF’s advantage.
