Heard nothing last night after the game and haven't seen anything this morning. With all the talk and article written this week, I thought we would've heard something.

Watch him get another year after all this

I’m hoping they hold off for a few days. The more programs with an open head job, the harder it will be for us to find a coach.

The problem with firing him is that with half the world looking for a new coach some of these teams are going to be left standing when all the chairs are filled

No. A&M probably has to wait until next weekend to hire Jimbo, and ASU wants Sumlin, so I think we’re stalling because of the buy out. If Sumlin leaves, we owe him nothing. If we fire him, we owe him 10 million. There might be some negotiating going on. But I really have no idea. He will be fired, though.

If Im the AD there, take the opportunity to hire a young higher risk/reward option. Couldnt justify it if things were stable

They will fire him today, because they don't want the old staff using in-home visits on the way out the door. It will be an interesting week.

Just like other major programs, if you're going to fire someone who's had success you better have your guy ready to go..

it appears that there may be some mutual departure type deal being worked out with him gong to ASU instead of being fired and a "settlement" on which party has to buy the other party out.

Would be a classy move by both, especially in light of Arkansas debacle this week.
