Possible angles of this thread that would be interesting:

Sumlin is or isn't overpaid
Sumlin has or hasn't destroyed the honor code
Sumlin can or can't get the job done
Kingsbury is or isn't the reason they won early in Sumlin's tenure
Sumlin can or can't right the ship
The culture is or isn't the problem
Allen can or can't cut it as a college quarterback.

What will be discussed:

Chavis
The times when aggy is discussed
Texas
Money
Johnny is or isn't the GOAT
That one time aggy beat Alabama.

It's the rant, nobody cares about facts here.

Sounds like Chizik era Auburn. Except their Heisman winner got them 3rd in the west instead of a national championship. Enjoy your upcoming 3-9 (0-8) season Aggies!

I'm not going to pretend to have some inside information but I have felt sorry for him ever since how they handled the Murray deal. Felt like he got so screwed over with all that.

Sumlin isn't overpaid
Sumlin has no honor
Sumlin can't get the job done
Kingsbury is a large reason they won early in Sumlin's tenure
Sumlin can't right the ship
The culture is the problem
Allen can cut it as a college quarterback.

Murray never sees the field if Allen doesn't play so horribly against Arizona State that Murray needs to come in and soften up the defense. 6 of Kyle Allen's interceptions thrown at A&M were returned for touchdowns.

You will see this play out the first time he throws a pick 6 at UH.

I don't doubt it's bad, but with what's come out about Allen he was just as much a participant in it as everyone else. Taking sides with certain coaches and players against other coaches and players.

I am not going to claim a whole bunch of knowledge of the situation, but wouldn't it take "dividing" things, and picking the "right side" if you were trying to change things in the locker room from bad to good?

Guy who was never on the team w/Johnny knows the culture of the team when Johnny was on it.

Seems legit.

The OC is charge was fired.

If Allen hadn't been told he was going to have to compete for the job again he would still be at A&M.

The sad truth is SEC competition made his arse quit.

A&M couldn't field a decent Defense with Von Miller in there. This was pre Sumlin.

Some programs are just soft, nothing you can do about it.

Yeah, let's just go ahead and omit that pesky "Wrecking Crew" era.

Not defending Sumlin but Allen sounds like a spoiled, millenial, self entitled brat.

Do you disagree with his characterization of the culture at A&M or do you just disagree that Johnny was the genesis of that culture?

Can't wait until you throw Tate Martell under the bus.

You throw everyone under the Aggie bus.

Sumlin mishandled the QB situation with Allen in epic fashion.

Allen was carping about not getting the love the TX high school QBs did at A&M back in 2014, though. Seems like he was a bit of a divisive character.

Probably enough blame to go around.
