The Case for Kevin Sumlin

[CajunJack55]

Sumlin is already on the short list at Arizona State.

Kevin Sumlin ain't coming here.

Based on what I’ve heard over the last 24 hours, I wouldn’t necessarily say Kevin Sumlin is a lock or even the favorite at Arizona State.

Sumlin doesn't have to coach next year. He is getting paid $10.5 mil by Texas A&M to hit the road.

You FORCE him to tell you no. AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN.. and even if he gets another job. You call a few more times just to make sure.

Guess you didn't see the Sumlin team fall apart last night at the end of the game getting multiple flagrant penalties...just what usl needs...another thug running the show...

Good hell, you are some kinda moron...

Shouldn't that troll be under his bridge waiting for the three billy goats gruff??

Especially if that job is Tennessee.

.. and the many "name" coaches that are options.

This attitude of "oh he's not coming here" is frustrating with some of you guys. Why do we have such a low self esteem as a fan base? In the last few years, Gus Malzhan, Hugh Freeze, Lane Kiffin, and Bobby Petrino have used a stint at a G5 school to bolster their careers. (Malzhan has likely parlayed that into playing for a NC).

Kevin Sumlin:
-Available
-South and East Texas ties for recruiting
-Man of impeccable character
-Managed a dumpster fire like John Football
-Could easily parlay 1-2 solid years here into a very lucrative contract
-Lives about 5 hours away and has already said he didn't want to move his family
-His agent is NOT Jimmy Sexton
-Will be getting paid by A&M, so we can afford him
-His hiring would immediately put azzes in seats and boost RCAF
-Has always had top notch assistants
-Has won at a very high level at a G5 school
-Unless Hud has burnt the bridge, we have a connection to Sumlin via T Broadway

I have never been a "name" coach guy, and I certainly want to find the RIGHT guy. But its hard to look at FAU, a perennial nobody and not envy the national attention (while winning) because of the recognition of the HC. It's a big deal and an important piece of the puzzle in 2017, and beyond. As we've discussed at length, 2020 is an important deadline of sorts. If we want to make the cut, IMO, we have to win, win big and do it in a way that demands national attention. I think Kevin Sumlin would accomplish all of that.
