Sumlin is a heck of a coach and recruiter. My U of H buddies(the few that actually follow their sports!) were heartbroken when he left for A&M. He did a heck of a job at U of H recruiting the second tier guys in Texas .. vs the real cream that UT or A&M (then Baylor or T Tech) were after and that U of H didnt have much chance with. Texas is like Florida.. there are SO many Div 1 blue chippers here...
With his recruiting ability and A&M's name, he is gonna be formidable. I am not happy the SEC took them in and put them in our division on top of that. Sumlin already has a pretty stout 2013 committment list while we await our first committment(unless i missed something??).....

Under Fran, Sherman, Slocum and Sherrill. They have never struggled with acquiring talent. They play a different game than what goes on in the SEC. It will be interesting to see that contrast this year. I would equate them to the talent level of maybe just under Georgia with much more of a finesse game (espically under Sumlin). I have said I think they will struggle with depth at the SEC level (like we do)....we'll see if I amright. Their defense was terrible last year and sumlin has a history of bad defenses...so it's a good fit.
We coulda scored 90 and Southern Miss destroyed them. Sumlin keeps that up and he wont win 3 SEC games.
He better be a good recruiter because he is one hell of a ****** coach. A&M took one step forward coming into the SEC and 2 steps back by hiring Sumlin, and they are going to struggle for it. In a few years when they get smart and hire a real coach I'll start to worry.
Fedora was offered the Aggie job and turned it down. He is from College Station and he knows A&M will struggle in the SEC early on. He also knows A&M fans have fast triggers when it comes to letting coaches go. Instead he goes to North Carolina and gets a 7 year contract. At UNC he will learn to become a better head coach(he still has a lot to learn) and at UNC with their NCAA penalties they just got, he is under no pressure and if he eventually wins 7 or 8 games there, they are happy. If he progresses as a head coach, he will move on to a bigger job, if not, he can probably stay at UNC as long as he wants within reason.Big D said:
We seem to struggle against high powered offenses like Arkansas and UH in 09' but that was with Keenum. I think the verdict is still out on Sumlin and unless Wilson plays bump coverage they will beat us this year. We can no longer play 10 yards off thereceiversand give up long drives like we did against Ark. this past year.
