For what?
Having one good season in which his true freshman QB played lights out and won the Heisman trophy? Maybe let him have a couple more winning seasons before we give him Knute Rockne status.


I've been following the guy for a long time. His ability to validate the Spread Air-Raid in the SEC-for the 2nd time, since Leach did so in the late 90's at UK anyway-was seriously impactful.

Up until 2012, the Spread had won titles in the SEC, but had done so using power-running and triple-option looks (Meyer @ UF). Showing that a passing-oriented Spread-based offense could succeed here was monumental IMO.

You may not believe so, but go back and look at what folks theorized for them after that 17-10 loss to UF, and even before that in the preseason. Sumlin's performance this year was bigtime.

Score was 20-17, just pointing out.

Would his performance have been big time if he had lost to Bama? Yeah he did good in his first year in the SEC. However, they are losing a shite ton of talent on the offensive side of the ball. 2013 may not be quite as good of a year for them as 2012 was. Their OOC schedule is easier than a typical D2 schedule, so they will rack up some wins, but I don't think they are going to win the SEC West this year or anything. Maybe this was a good hire in that he helped A&M not get completely embarrassed in the SEC, but I don't know about the second best hire in the nation or even the conference since 2007. A couple more dominating winning seasons will change my opinion on that though.
