His last 3 games are against Oregon, Utah and Arizona State.

His contract has a poison pill, he's due $10 million if fired within his first two years.

You would figure that Arizona would have learned from A&M's mistake...

We're also still paying RichRod's contract. If we fired Sumlin, we'd be paying 3 coaches at the same time.

Sumlin has been about who I thought he'd be, sadly, but Arizona can't afford not to give him a third year.

Sumlin is going to coast to another firing and become a wealthy retiree before picking up some TV personality gigs.

That's my guess.

I believe he made something like 43-44 M at A&M for 2012-2018 + Buyout. It came to about 6.3 a year.

Kevin Sumlin now has a career 24-24 record with Noel Mazzone as his offensive coordinator.

You should show more gratitude toward the coach who led your school to its first AP top-5 finish since 1956.

Nine (9) of his aggy predecessors failed to do so.

I’m honestly surprised at this. I would have guessed that RC would have finished in the top 5 at least once.

We are grateful for the time we had Kliff Kingsbury.

Sumlin is 23-3 with Kingsbury as his offensive coordinator.

he gave y'all the usual results one would expect from A&M and always had a winning record. Seems like he was a fine hire for your program.

I think it’s fair to say that Johnny made Kevin & Kliff a frickload of money.

Sumlin was the first coach since Hank Foldberg (1962-1964) to have at least 2 losses at home every year.

In year 1, Fisher's only home loss was to Clemson by a missed field goal.

Just remember everyone thought ASU was going to hire Sumlin then everyone laughed when they hired Herm.

Arizona State hired Edwards first. Sumlin was hired later.

I know this.

And before Arizona State hired Herm everyone thought Sumlin would get the job.

ASU genius, Zona dumb.

Sumlin must get rid of Noel Mazzone if he wants to last beyond year 3.

He has a career record of 24-24 with Mazzone as his OC (15-10 at A&M, 9-14 at Arizona)
