interesting tidbit....Sumlin and Kingsbury did not recruit Manziel at Houston... whereas Johhny F's first offer came from Chad Morris when he was at Tulsa.

Chad Morris is trying like hell to get out of Clemson before his offense gets shut down again by LSU in the Chick-Fil-A Bowl. Then he opens w/ UGA in 2013. Three shutdowns in a row by SEC teams (starting w/ SC) will kill his stock.

Sumlin and Kingsbury have been quoted as saying they didn't offer Manziel because they saw offers from Oregon and A&M and knew he would not choose Houston.

Kingsbury is a very risky hire for their AD. If Kingsbury fails as a HC, the AD is assuredly gone. With such a short track record and the question of Kingsbury being the Krby Smart to Sumlin's Nick Saban, the risks might outweigh the rewards with Kingsbury.

Tech also has interviewed the DC for the Titans who reached out to them. I would not be shocked if it were his job to lose.
