Just wanting to interview him to meet their quota. He knows it that's why he refuses the interviews to give another black coach a shot. It's a dumb rule IMO.

He's likely declining because he knows those interviews are being offered because of the Rooney Rule. None of these teams are seriously after him.

He should be refusing. He knows he aint done a damn thing at A&M yet. Hell the NFL should be going after Kliff Kingsbury. At least, Gary Pinkel, he's taken his team to the SEC championship already.



quote:

He knows he's not deserving of those interviews.



quote:

I'm not sure why he is such a hot name.



quote:

He got paid for accomplishing nothing with a heisman trophy winner on his team.

he better not burn any bridges. in two years, he will be looking.





The rantards find consensus:


HE......NO.......GOOD!!!!!!

Lot of coaches aren't going to talk to the NFL until bowl season is over. That's pretty standard. But the large number of openings means we're going to hear of a lot of targets.

With TAMU in the SEC now, Sumlin would need a coach in waiting to make a transition or at least have given the AD some notice to find someone so that he wouldn't burn at least some bridges. A&M isn't stacked and it's losing JFF and his leaving with them would sting pretty badly. He'd have to have a lot of confidence in any future job's success to leave, imo.

It is truly remarkable how the narrative has gone from:

"Sumlin's leaving, A&M fricked," to the implicit narrative of "Sumlin's staying, A&M fricked."

All in like a month.

You're fricked either way. He's a mediocre coach, but it's better than going through another coaching search.

It's a bit of a catch 22. You couldn't let him leave because you didn't want yet another potentially disastrous coaching search, but keeping him means you'll never win the conference.

Why would he even have an interview? Hes the worst coach in the history of football who is way over his head. Hell I bet he steps down after tonight because he knows his gig is up
