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...

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

TGK4LSU•77 months

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.

lsutigerfan619•77 months

Why tf would Jimbo wanna go to A&M?

PsychTiger•77 months

He's bi-curious?

Laman1978•77 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.

BigDropper•77 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...

Just_Fight_Baby•77 months

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

lsusportsman2•77 months

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

Just_Fight_Baby•77 months

@lsusportsman2 This too, is true.

Old•77 months

Sumlin's a great head coach.

cra_cra•77 months

Dimbo Fisher is a myth people. Always has been, always will be. I'd be very surprised to see DF want to compete in the SEC west. What Miami and Clemson getting too tough for you??? What a loser.

Who would want to live in College Station?

El Campo Tiger•77 months

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

SlowurRole•77 months

If Tallahassee wants him to he does

SaintLSUnAtl•77 months

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

foj1981•77 months

Maybe we can get chief back

STRIPES•77 months

We upgraded when Chavis left. Idiot.

Lexman1•77 months

This is laughable. Why would Jimbo Fisher leave FSU for A&M? They are not an elite program and never have been. I still don’t know how they got into the SEC. I can’t see another coach doing any better than Sumlin has done, given what little he has to work with. His biggest mistake was hiring Chavis and his prevent defense. So glad we got rid of him.

AustinKnight•77 months

Buddy if u don’t know by now they are a sleeping Giant like we were ur just turning a blind eye.

Lexman1•77 months

A sleeping giant, Austin? Really? You must have some inside information that we don’t.

STRIPES•77 months

Sleeping giant? More like comatose. People have been talking up A&M just like you are doing for years with nothing to substantiate the claim. Go back and look at A&M's history in the Big 12. Then come back and build that bunch of losers up. It is a joke.

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.

JodyPlauche•77 months

This sounds familiar...I guess A&M wins and saves Summlins' job...for a few more games next year.

HueyP•77 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?

FournetteForEver7•77 months

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

JackieTreehorn•77 months

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

STRIPES•77 months

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

FournetteForEver7•77 months

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

The Boat•77 months

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

TaderSalad•77 months

Jimbo Fishers of QBs
