re: How A&M's culture works against us

I think it was a panic move on his new contract. There was some smoke from Sumlin's agent about USC being interested in Sumlin. They NEVER were. It was laughable.

Not going to be said around here but a lot of people on this board were worried about Sumlin leaving and were in FULL support of Sumlin's new contract.

Guilty here, lots of us were desperate to keep him because we thought we hired a great coach and to stay relevant we had to show we couldnt get out-moneywhipped by other schools.

I was one of the first off the Sumlin train though (midway through 2015 season) and could see what was coming, it just sucked he hung around another couple of seasons.

I definitely dont like the Jimbo extension, at 7.5 mil a year with all of it guaranteed and tons of time left on the contract, I dont think there was anybody that was going to pay more than that, and if they were, then we match it. I think the AD got played on that one.
