Brown: The Texas A&M chancellor is unhappy with the direction of the program & is working to terminate Kevin Sumlin’s contract.

Brown: I’m told today that a decision to terminate Sumlin’s contract could also include a decision to get rid of the AD Eric Hyman

Brown: There’s a $20M buyout for Sumlin, and I’m told Sharp is going to try and cut that in half or fire Sumlin for cause.
 
Good luck firing Sumlin for cause.

If you think this has been a circus so far, just wait for you'll see if that happens and Sumlin's attorneys get involved. I'm going to guess he knows a few things aggy would rather keep on the down-low.
 
Self inflated sense of worth. The ship comes crashing back to earth.
The problem clob is, they have that sense no matter what.....it is the essence of aggydom. We all KNOW what Texas is going through now will end at some point because of Texas' history. aggy has no such history and they think they are at the level of Texas....Not so much.
 
They can't afford to make it happen.

Yes we can. However nothing is going to happen until 2 things are settled, first how we look in the bowl game and 2, who Sumlin brings to the board as his oc candidate. Win the bowl game and bring a top oc candidate (not specifically a name) and he'll have full support going into 16. Those are the big items, beyond that finishing the class strong and fixing the QB issue are key as well.
 
fixing a QB problem from zero has been a huge problem for us. I suspect Pooch knows that aggy can fix it instantly....you know....maybe bring in a 5 star stud and have him be great from the get go.....oh wait....they just tried that twice in a row and it didnt work out so good.

GTFO....fix the QB issue....like it was something you could sprinkle pixie dust on or something. I admit you have an advantage.....because all yall have to do is convince your fan base that however deep in sh*t you are it will be ok because you are aTm.

Who you gonna get that's better than Spivital? OC isn't the problem. "Sumlin Swag" is the problem.

if he hires a OC he is there for a few more years. They wont let him hire another one if they are trying to get rid of him. I hope they keep sumlin :) and the funny thing is his winning seasons are because of the shitty OOC the last 3 years, take that away and god, he is as bad as strong . They have not done anything since beating bama a few years back and they expanded the stadium because of that win and johnny crimminal, God forbid they ever beat LSU or bama again, they may expand the stadium even more.

I hope a&m keeps Sumlin, but do you guys really want him long term?

I personally thing Spavital is a big problem. However, if the reports about Sumlin's drinking are true, then that is the biggest problem.

He's worst. Strong never had two 5* QB's transfer in the same year nor do he play Tennessee tech, Wofford or schools like that. Aggy just suck. PERIOD, enough said.

I would say no. To me it's clear that his only shot is to follow the dabo Sweeney plan and hire coordinators to bail him out like Morris and venebles did. His oc hire needs to be a grand slam, someone who can completely run their side of the ball from oline through the quarterback. Chavis has done that on the defensive side of the ball and has began to implement his vision for that side of the ball, this needs to happen on offense as well. Right now Sumlin is Mack brown without a Vince young.
 
COLLEGE STATION – Texas A&M chancellor John Sharp sharply disputed a Horns Digest report claiming he was looking into firing Aggies coach Kevin Sumlin.


Sharp on Friday night described the report as a “fairy tale” and “completely false” and perhaps “out of the imagination” of the reporter, and suggested maybe someone, or a couple of people, were even misleading the reporter just to mess with him.

Pooch, at least Mack Brown won championships. Sumlin hasn't come close, so no, Mack > Sumlin.
 
Sumlin is 11-13 in the SEC with a buyout @ $20,000,000 payable in 60 days. Not a good situation.

No, really... You can't! Your commited to this coach. It's not simply 20 million, it's all of the other contracts including buyouts. Fans always think big buyouts are simple,... They're not!

Splash OC hire and everything is fine in Aggieland

20 million for a buyout
Chief guaranteed contract
New coach buy out
New coach 5 million dollar salary.

30 million plus for one season of poor Aggy football. You can't afford it. Sorry. 30 dollar oil ain't helping either.

Poor aggys

If we're talking 2011-13 Mack, yeah. Otherwise, Sumlin is a pimple on Mack's ass.

A&M may be close to finding its next quarterback after a pair of quarterbacks opted to transfer from the school earlier this month.

The Aggies are the front-runner to land Oklahoma transfer Trevor Knight, according to a report from 247Sports.com’s Taylor Hamm. Knight is a graduate transfer who was beat out by Baker Mayfield in 2015 after starting 10 games for the Sooners last season. He will be allowed to play right away without losing eligibility.

Knight originally committed to A&M in 2012 before signing with Oklahoma. He completed 56 percent of his passes while throwing for 2,300 yards, 14 touchdowns and 12 interceptions in 2014.

The Aggies have some turmoil at the quarterback position after sophomore Kyle Allen and freshman Kyler Murray chose to leave the school. Knight would be a good fit, albeit for one season, for a program looking for a leader on offense.
 
Seems like Aggy and OU have some kind of deal worked out. I'll send you our players if you send me yours type thing.

I don't know or care where Chip gets his info, but if the AD isn't seriously weighing his options with Sumlin right now he isn't doing his job. Sumlin had one good year (but nothing in the trophy case) and the team has gotten progressively worse each year since then. The Qb mess he's created is unparalleled, it's literally never been done before.
