That's fine. That said, Sumlin hasn't done either of those things. Clearly USC is a top coaching gig, but coaching at A&M, the only SEC school in Texas and has deep pockets, isn't the "stepping stone" program most here think it is.

I think it's interesting that so many see this as a foregone conclusion that Sumlin is leaving despite him getting commitments from the type of players that wouldn't even give us visits the past ten years. He must be telling these kids something to overcome these rumors which are getting hammered into the recruits minds right now. Guess we'll see, but I think he stays if it's between us and USC. If it's a solid NFL gig, I'm not nearly as confident.

I don't think he'd leave for SC, but, I bet the NFL is calling in December. He's more attractive than Chip Kelly was, IMO, and the League is reiterating its stance on minorities getting more than a token interview.

its hard to evaluate sumlin because he has a few unusual things in his favor 1) johnny 2) sec entry 3) texas on a down spiral. two of those positives will go away shortly and if texas hires a big time coach, then we will see what sumlin is really made of.
