This may have already been discussed, but does anyone think Kevin Sumlin will become just another Gene Chizik after Johnny Football leaves for the pros? Without JM they wouldn't be near as explosive, just like Cam Newton was to Auburn. With all the competition in the SEC, especially the west, I think A&M goes back to a mediocre team when Johnny leaves. Thoughts?

Sumlin will ride his momentum to the NFL, unlike Gene.

The LSU obsession is strong today

Gene is an 8-27 coach without Gus and it showed.

Kevin runs his own offense and it works...he is not like Gene at all.

Sumlin is an offensive coach. Chizik was a defensive coach who lost both the OC and stud QB.

post about head coach of an insecure and easily agitated fanbase...this should turn out well.

On a related topic, I think the Mad Hatters days are numbered at LSU

I agree, Sumlin couldn't even win Conference USA.

No I don't think so.

Sumlin has a good offense. You saw what he was doing down in Houston.

I'm more interested in seeing if he can coach when the pressure is really on. He blew it against Southern fricking Miss when he had Houston set for a perfect season.

The pressure wasn't all that high against Bama to be honest. If he lost nobody would have been shocked.

what a terrible comparison... Chizik had a terrible head coaching record before Auburn, where as Sumlin was a proven winner at Houston. Chizik's coordinator record may be a little more impressive than Sumlin, but not by much (if any).

And Sumlin is the brains behind that offense... chizik was a defensive coach with a terible defense all four years. Nothing suggests Sumlin and A&M are slowing down at all.

This is his first season as HC without Kliff Kingsbury on staff. We shall see.

Sumlin is the 2nd best coach in this league right now. Period.

Uh, no. Sumlin actually won at another school. They'll probably fall off a bit after JFF, but not like Chizik because Chizik was HARRRRRIBLE.
