I don't think anyone has said you can't afford it, just that a raise is unwarranted.


Possibly, but when 5 of the top 10 paid coaches are from the SEC, I think it's more of teams in this conference are willing to take a chance of overpaying in order to remain competitive.

This year was a complete failure for Sumlin.

Before the season A&M fans couldn't fathom the thought of going anything less than 10-2.

I'm looking forward to the Aggies joining us at the bottom next year with their very expensive head coach.

If the no buy out afte 3 years worked both ways i'd agree, you're taking a chance but it's a calculated risk. Because really that's the time frame he should be given to win something of note. But if a&m fires him in 3 or 4 years, they have to pay him, right?
