At start of their search, #Eagles pursued #Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin, source said. He's told people he wants to stay in college now.

Why would they pursue Sumlin? And with the supposed heat of his seat in College Station why would he not listen?

That's kind of stupid. If he doesn't bail now, he'll be back coaching in C-USA soon.

I doubt believe that for a second. They're not going the college route again.

In the SEC West at Texas A&M. He will get a middle or lesser power 5 job without a problem if he flames out.

Sumlin pursuing NFL opportunities already cost A&M a 4-star recruit to TCU today (Ross Blacklock)

Sumlin would take that offer in 2 seconds. After all the bs by Ian Rapareportanyrumor associated with Sean Payton, why would anyone believe this idiot.

Glad Sumlin said no. Eagles really need to make a solid hire. Would love a defensive minded coach but pretty sure they will go offense.

Either that is totally false or Sumlin turned down the interview because he figured he was getting Rooney Ruled and never had a chance at the job to begin with. If you are in Sumlin's shoes the only interview you can take is one where you know you have the job. aTm would fire him in a split second if he started interviewing for other jobs.
