If things go to hell go at A&M this season he's going to take the bulk of the blame for not being able to control his star athlete. Especially when said athletes parents have already gotten the ball rolling with their self-pitying ESPN magazine article

Let's be honest, if Eugene would have at least beaten the bottom dwellers (Mississippi schools, Vandy). He's still Auburn's coach. Tuberville's son just walked-on Auburns football team and we grin-n-bear Pay Dye on Fbaum. Hell maybe one day we'll have another Bowden walking around campus.

Auburn gives as good as it gets. I don't know if the same will be said once the dust settles in College Station


*According to aubiematt we've already had a Bowden on campus

Well, a Bowden (It was Bobby Bowden's grandson) did go to Auburn during the Tuberville era. He was a friend of mine. His grandfather called my house once looking for him, I didn't know what to say.

If Texas A&M has an 8 win season they will blame Manziel, not Sumlin.

No Aggie is going to blame Sumlin for the actions of Manziel's parents. And since Manziel so far hasn't done anything to warrant even a tenth of the criticism he gets, aside from just being a showboat/troll, I don't see much reason to think he's going to be the cause of our season going to hell.

He has a white wife, so no way he had a shot at the Auburn job. That was the reason Charlie Strong didn't get the job in 2008.

Umm, you wish man.

I guess one little brother is as good as the next, though.

But Auburn fire its National-Championship-Winning head coach two years later. There is no coaching job that is less forgiving and, sadly, no job that is MORE forgiving than A&M, to a fault.

Last I checked he wasn't offered a job while he was at Houston
And everyone knows he wouldn't leave A&M right now

This is a real test season, win when you are expected to. Many coaches can win when there are no/low expectations. It's like golfing on Sunday with the lead when you are expected to win. I like the way Sumlin sounds. Not impressed with his lack of control over the face of his team. All that said, I hope he has long term success. Now batting...

Auburn should have kept Tuberville. Every time Auburn has one bad season, they fire their coach.
