However, it's pretty easy to see that aTm was the most overrated team in the SEC at the beginning of the season (popular or not). I simply don't buy into Sumlin yet. I think Manziel has made his coach millions. What has he really done to warrant $5M/yr? They finished 4th in their own division and in the middle of the conference. Name any other situation where a coach gets a raise like that with those results.

Simple. Just name a coach that other programs want to hire and will pay more money to hire him and you will have a coach like Sumlin.

This is not a football issue. It's an employment issue. Sumlin is in demand from college AND NFL programs. A&M needs continuity and has benefited from the high level of recruiting. A&M is moving in the right direction. We could have saved an extra $2 million a year, but the cost of having the momentum we have built interrupted with a coaching search is well more than the additional $10 million we will pay over 4 years.

If you can't see the value I have described above, you have precisely ZERO experience in any business or commerce whatsoever.
