Texas honestly got screwed a little bit because ATM overpayed for Sumlin this year with his extension. The five million to sumlin set the market this year for coaches and Texas was victim so they had to pay there guy similar to get him.

Mack was making like 5.45 and Texas had the pay the new guy with no skin on the wall 5 million cause of aggie.

What is more troubling is aggie is paying Sumlin 5 million a year and he hasn't won shite and finished middle of the conference. Sure they had a good two years but that was JFF not sumlin. I think in the next few years aggie figures out just how much they overplayed.

We've got the money to pay a coach as much as we want. Don't worry about it.

if true, i find it hilarious. however, texas could have paid what they wanted to pay. and as for aggy overpaying sumlin, that's not decided yet. paying for results, yes; paying for potential (as indicated by his stellar recruiting), no. time will tell.
