Kevin Sumlin vs Gary Patterson

[57stratdawg]

Crazy how different situations can be: Sumlin is 51-25 since being hired at Texas A&M. Gary Patterson is 50-26 over the same period at TCU.

One guy is signing an extension, one guy is a dead man walking.

Not always about W/Ls, I guess.

Paging Coach Mullen...

Yep. I was looking at Sumlins record at A&M last week. He’s had an 11 win season, 9 win, three 8 wins seasons and a 7. Not up to their expectations, but DAMN. I don’t know who wants that kind of pressure. In the SEC West of all places. Good grief.

It’s so important for coaches to capitalize when they have the roster to make some noise. Sumlin is essentially being fired for his 2016 season a year later.

I thought the same thing.

I would say he's being fired because of the resources & recruiting he has available that his team's have been our *****...AND the ridiculous QB carousel.

That said, I don't think he ever had complete control over the day to day decisions, especially when it came to QB's. If he did, he is worthless. If not, he's been paid well, at least.

I could see sumlin going to ark if they don’t somehow land Gus

Aside from us, the Bama effect has made the rest of the SEC batsh!t crazy.
