USC has said nothing about Sumlin being offered or even being the prime candidate, but somehow A&M people know EXACTLY what happened, and USC side has no idea even though they were the ones holding the GD coaching search.
OK, here is how things work mi muchacho.
National Power U wants coach of Big State Regional. NPU talks to his agent. Agent then talks to BSR to gauge their will to keep coach. A back and forth ensues.
Each school has insiders who leak info to the press. NPU b/c they can't fathom being turned down and think its a done deal and BSR b/c they have big swinging dick syndrome and a fat wallet burning a hole in their pocket.
Agent smiles as bidding war ramps up.
Big State Regional decides if they want to play with the big boys they need to pay like it. They make an offer high enough to fend off all comers.
National Power U can't go as high and begins leaking to the press they never really wanted the coach in an effort to save face. This kicks into overdrive when the coach they do get leaves the dissatisfied fanbase nonplussed.

I love how you ignore the crippling impeachment of your shitty source and the fact that Schefter said last night that USC only turned to Sark after Sumlin was out of play.
The LA Times corroborates.
LA Times
No one is hiring Steve Sarkisian over Kevin Sumlin.
USC wanted Sumlin, they made it known to his reps. He used their interest as leverage for a raise. In the end he declined the opportunity to even interview at USC. In other (very clear) words, he chose TAMU over USC.
And dipshit, of course USC isn't publicly announcing how it lost Sumlin. Why are you so retarded?

USC Athletic Director Pat Haden eventually zeroed in on Texas A&M Coach Kevin Sumlin, the source said, but Haden could not meet with him until after the Aggies’ regular season was complete.

Completely false. Sumlin was never offered the job, and no school would offer someone the job without an interview.
Also you’re way off on the package being offered. I’ve had these sources on the USC search since late September and have been hearing the same narrative since then. Sumlin was a candidate but was never the leader. Was in a group of main guys being considered.
Also, Texas A&M sources have since confirmed that Sumlin was considering leaving for a while.

I want to thank you for posting on this board.
(Maybe you're an Aggie posting as a Longhorn, in order to make Longhorns look bad? Kinda like super is a horn posting as an Ag? I hope not. I hope you're legit.)

Yes, it is this man who has the truth concerning the dynamic between the most prestigious coaching vacancy and the hottest coaching commodity.

This is a solid business move, period. Just sold out a 102,500 seat renovated stadium and have a #3 recruiting class, per Rivals. You can give the head coach a $2M/year raise, or let him walk and lose up to 20% of season ticket holders who are buying into where these last 2 recruiting classes will take you. Let's assume the average seat in the new stadium will run $100/game (including donation and capital contribution). That's extremely conservative, and the real impact may be 2-3 times more per ticket. If you lose 10% of the season tix spoken for, that's 10,000 season tickets, at $100 each, or $1M per game. At 6 games a year (the fewest on any given year), that's a loss of $6M per year. Sumlin has the best first 2-year record of any A&M coach in history, the best first two recruiting classes of any A&M coach since classes were tracked. And strictly from a business standpoint, the move saves no less than $4M per year, and more likely avoids costs of closer to $10M per year. This was a no-brainer. Sumlin is in the right place at the right time.
