Why? He failed to materially make A&M better

Winning 8 games a year would be a massive step up for the last decade of Vols football

I know everyone spouts this stuff about A&M being some sleeping giant, but it's tough sledding in the SECW. Maybe Sumlin was overpaid, but I don't think 95% of coaches can do much better than him. That said, Jimbo is probably in the 5%. I wonder if Kevin would take like $4.5m per at Tenn.

I thought he did make them better, he just couldn't stay consistently over the 8-9 win hump.

He made them better and would be a very good hire for the Vols imo

compared to schiano and doeren he seems to be sane and a decent fit.
Posted on 11/30/17 at 1:36 pm to HailHailtoMichigan!
The fact that they are taking a poll says it all. And yeah I don't know why they would WANT him. He isn't bad but not real good; however he would give them steady success so maybe they are just tired of kicking and are finally succumbing to reality.

How's it going Kevin
Posted on 11/30/17 at 1:37 pm to HailHailtoMichigan!
Chavis was his downfall. He was 51-26 in the West, he could do fine here

I think Kevin Sumlin did a better job than Mike Sherman. So by that alone, he made aTm better

Sumlin didn't play nearly 80 games in the West 
He was 25-23 in conference

Overall record baw
Posted on 11/30/17 at 1:55 pm to mountain D values
overall record is mostly a joke. Just in 2012 alone (also his best conference record at 6-2) he racked up wins against SMU, Sam Houston, and South Carolina State.
2013- Rice, Sam Houston, SMU, UTEP
2014 - Lamar, Rice, SMU, Louisiana Monroe
2015- Ball State, Nevada, Western Carolina
2016 - prairie view , New Mexico State, utsa,
2017- Nichols, ULL, New Mexico.
20 wins in that stretch that are rent a wins. Tennessee should he hiring someone to make them competitive in the East, not to beat up Ball State. The East is at this moment (Mullen helps balance this) the weaker of the divisions, but he has proven himself average in the SEC.
And yeah Orgeron lost to Troy, we know.

Sumlin made some strategic errors. He didn’t stockpile elite lineman, and passed on Jarrett S. The SEC West will amplify any mistakes you make. He was in the CFP poll last year, and currently had a top 10 recruiting class. He is a good coach. His mistakes can easily be overcome.

Doesn't mean shite when his point was he played in the west.

I think he could have success if they give him time (But they won't). The dude can recruit. I'm curious what his staff would look like.

Why?
The Dallas Morning News just released an article debating whether SMU's season was a success, that's the dirty water UT is swimming in.

Sumlin would be a great get considering their options at the moment.
