re: Early reports have Sumlin getting $5M per year.

Both theories are certainly interesting.

We are currently owning the state. But if the saban name and Texas money are enough, then we will absolutely have some serious fights on our hands.

But him leaving does open up the west for a new leader. I really do think KDS has put us in position to take that top spot in the next couple of years. Possibly faster if Saban leaves Bama. This is why sumlin was worth the extension and raise.
