All that being said, unless we win all those games AND upset Auburn I'd still fire Sumlin.


You've been saying you'd fire him for like 3 or 4 years now. I think he could win the conference and you and CG would still say that at this point.

I would assume it was an anomaly but no, obviously if he wins out and we win the West he shouldn't be fired

I will say the only reason he shouldn't be fired at that is because of the optics. Nothing he does this year would change the fact that he SHOULD have already been fired, and WOULD HAVE been at many top programs. We have a 5.5 year sample size at this point, and good coaches simply don't let what happened in 2013-2016 happen CONSISTENTLY. Four straight years we collapsed over the final 6-7 games, once of which was with possibly the best college QB ever.

I'm being honest when I say literally nothing he could do from here out THIS season would change my mind about him. He'd have to do it consistently for several years to convince me he's fixed the inherent deficiencies in his coaching skill/philosophy.
