re: If/When Sumlin bolts for the NFL, is Dennis Allen an acceptable replacement?

Was posted earlier on 24/7 that they actually interviewed Sumlin before hiring Hoke, but since the Rich Rodriguez experiment was a "disaster" in their eyes, they didn't want to duplicate their mistake and went with Hoke.

Not saying Sumlin would have gone there if offered but Michigan fans weren't too thrilled to learn about this, let's put it that way.
