They won't hire him, but Petrino would kick arse there. And frankly, Sumlin would be out of his mind not to listen to Texas if they came calling. Jobs like Texas and bama(and probably Mich, tOSU, OU, and USC) are just too good to turn down if they come calling. If I'm an Aggie though, I'd be more worried about OU poaching Sumlin at some point.
No disrespect to TAMU, but like Arkansas, there are a few jobs out there that are far more prestigious.

Agee, but Sumlin has them headed in the right direction in a hurry.
Texas needs to make the right hire and do it soon because A&M is closing ground. Both teams are 7-2, but all the talk is about the Aggies.

A&M football coaches don't get poached anymore. We do the poaching. Are there a few more prestigious jobs? Maybe, but there is no other place to match the opportunity. If a coach wins a Natty at A&M they can become THE legend and they will have everything at their disposal to continue to be successful. At Bama they will always have the Bear. At OU they will always have Wilkinson. At Texas they will always have DKR. At A&M you can actually be THAT guy. A&M also won't be outbid if that is the issue, we have had the highest paid coach in CFB before and will do it again if need be (A&M gave Jackie Sherrill the first ever million dollar contract in 1982. Less known is A&M had Bo Schembechler at a verbal agreement and ready to board a plane from Ann Arbor until he backed out, Jackie was the backup plan).
Being the only SEC school in Texas is awfully hard to walk away from if you are doing well. Sumlin is already looking like he may be doing more selecting than recruiting for 2014. What do you think happens when he actually wins something that matters?

Things are different now. A&M is in the SEC, makes a big difference than being in the same conference with Texas. The SEC is THE conference in college football.

First of all, Texas won't hire Sumlin. That would require them to admit A&M did something right.
Secondly, there is no way Sumlin will go to OU. The next few years Sumlin is basically going to destroy OU's program in the short term by stealing all their talent (that was really A&M's talent to begin with because they are all Texans).
No way Sumlin wants to knock them down then have to build them back up.
