quote:

The whole thing has come full circle now: Richt reportedly shot down A&M and Sumlin is back in the mix, according to Brett Zwerneman.

"A high-ranking A&M insider told me Richt has declined Ags' offer and Kevin Sumlin is likely choice, anncmnt as soon as Sat. #mysa "

And much like every other coaching search, all parties involved are heading home with a prize. Richt, for having his name floated, will probably end up with a raise. Sumlin may end up getting the A&M job and a likely raise with after all, though this is a bit of an awkward situation considering he now knows the Aggies were flirting with Richt. Houston ... well, almost everyone wins.

I think Sumlin is a solid higher. Getting a proven head coach is better than an unproven cordinator, especially with A&M coming into the SEC.

Good for the Ags, but I think he is not going to be nearly as successful in the SEC. Keenum was perfect in that offense and that version of the spread can kill it in CUSA, but will be much, much more difficult to run and succeed with at A&M.
