Report: Texas A&M Expected To Fire Kevin Sumlin After LSU Game

by Staff Reporter

Derick E. Hingle-USA TODAY Sports

Multiple sources are reporting that Texas A&M head coach Kevin Sumlin will be fired after the LSU game. Per The Houston Chronicle:

quote:
COLLEGE STATION - Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin will be fired following the Aggies' regular-season finale at LSU on Saturday night, multiple people with knowledge of the situation said.

Sumlin is expected to be dismissed in the day or days following the A&M game against the Tigers. The Aggies are a double-digit underdog to the Tigers, and an A&M victory wouldn't save his job at this point, the sources said.

Many believe that the University will pursue Florida State's Jimbo Fisher to be his replacement.

quote:
The Aggies' top target is Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher, according to people with knowledge of the school's plans. Fisher won a national title following the 2013 season with the Seminoles, but FSU is 4-6 so far this season, easily his worst showing in eight years as head coach in Tallahassee, Fla. He's won at least 10 games in a season six times at FSU, something Sumlin has managed once at A&M in six seasons.

This situation should sound very familiar to LSU fans...

Since firing the coach "before" the LSU game didn't work for Tennessee, aTm will try the "will be fired" after the LSU game method.

I've seen this movie before. He doesn't leave Tallahassee.

SlowurRole•102 months

If Tallahassee wants him to he does

BigDropper•102 months

The last time a coach was rumored to be fired after this game, he rode out a Victor on the shoulders of his players. A&M trying to hard...

lsutigerfan619•102 months

Why tf would Jimbo wanna go to A&M?

PsychTiger•102 months

He's bi-curious?

Johnny Yen•102 months

Looks like Alleva is moonlighting at A&M....

JackieTreehorn•102 months

Who in the hell does a&m think they are?

STRIPES•102 months

They have ALWAYS thought they are some kind of powerhouse that they are not.

Just_Fight_Baby•102 months

Bad look for Alleva if Jimbo actually DOES take the job.

lsusportsman2•102 months

This is true, but Alleva looks bad no matter what he does.

Just_Fight_Baby•102 months

@lsusportsman2 This too, is true.

TheFlyingTiger•102 months

dude. just have the players carry you out, say they love you, and you're golden. they'll give you and your buddies a raise and you'll make it to game 4 next year. for sure.

Who would want to live in College Station?

Laman1978•102 months

I'd be absolutely floored if this happens. It almost makes more sense that someone at A&M is just trying to screw around with LSU fans.

SaintLSUnAtl•102 months

I assume by "expected to fire" he meant "expected to give extension to"

The Boat•102 months

Jimbo Fishers? Do you put a typo in every article on purpose to see if we can find it?

Jimbo Fishers of QBs

A&M truly is a sleeping giant make no mistake about that. I was hoping they would keep Sumlin there for a few more seasons. The right coach/recruiter at Texas A&M would-will make the rest of us use more profanity on Saturdays. This hire is big for the other 13 schools in our conference.

"A&M truly is a sleeping giant make no mistake about that."
Yeah, we already heard you say that....

Sumlin's a great head coach.

HueyP•102 months

Sounds like the Sexton shuffle is starting already. Jimbo going to get a raise in a down year. I wonder if Sexton can get little Nicky a raise out of aTm too?

TDFreak•102 months

I love all these LSU fans talk crap about Jimbo Fisher being garbage. Sounds a lot like sour grapes after CJF turned down working under that used car salesman, aka Joe Alleva!

LSU-42 A&M-17

Later Summy.

FournetteForEver7•102 months

This was decided weeks ago by the aggies... They are letting him finish out the shitty season

FournetteForEver7•102 months

I hope the tigers beat A&M bad so theres no doubt kevin Sumlin and his pool boy are fired

Vernonbrew22•102 months

An ideal day or 2 after eating the big bird. Bama could somehow get whipped by Auburn and the Tigers throttle or just beat the Faggies. In that order. A Bama loss could potentially knock the tide out of the playoffs if Homa and Consin keep winning. Miami and Clemson winner is in. Nothing would make my holidays more special than a Bama loss or plane crash
