Alabama: I actually believe Alabama could go 0-12 this season and Saban would survive. Therefore, inapplicable.
Arkansas: 5-7
Auburn: Auburn has already shown they'll tolerate 7-6. 5-7 may get Gus the ax.
Florida: 7-6
Georgia: 2-10
Kentucky: 4-8
LSU: a sixth consecutive loss to Alabama and less than eight wins. Pardon me if I have that figure incorrect, it's been so long since LSU has beaten Bama.
Missouri: 1.5 Team boycotts
Mississippi State: losing to Ole Miss
Ole Miss: NCAA-imposed two-year bowl ban
South Carolina: 4-8
Tennessee: 7-6
Texas A&M: tAggyArk is content with mediocrity. 5-7 with no bowl gets Sumlin canned, while 6-7 with a bowl loss or 5-8 with a bowl loss would keep his job
Vanderbilt: 3-9
Arkansas: 5-7
Auburn: Auburn has already shown they'll tolerate 7-6. 5-7 may get Gus the ax.
Florida: 7-6
Georgia: 2-10
Kentucky: 4-8
LSU: a sixth consecutive loss to Alabama and less than eight wins. Pardon me if I have that figure incorrect, it's been so long since LSU has beaten Bama.
Missouri: 1.5 Team boycotts

Tennessee: 7-6
Texas A&M: tAggyArk is content with mediocrity. 5-7 with no bowl gets Sumlin canned, while 6-7 with a bowl loss or 5-8 with a bowl loss would keep his job
Vanderbilt: 3-9

We fired Mike Sherman with 7 wins, a year after 9 wins...via cell in a recruits driveway.
We fired Franchione with 7 wins, a year after 9 wins as well.
Sumlin's agent negotiated a hell of a buyout when all our higher ups were partying with JFF.

Coach O will have to go 3-9 for LSU to immediately consider paying another buyout.

TA, what is your area of expertise legally? By any chance real estate law?
Legal questions aside, yeah, I can't argue too much. We have Bert for another year but if he does not produce wins this year then his seat goes to molten lava status.

yea Coach O would have to bomb like 1-3 games to get fired

I'd rather not discuss my personal life on tRant for obvious reasons. 
Oh and Bert is fat.

He could go 0-12 and yall aren't paying that $12 million buyout.

At this point Gus's record isn't nearly as important as beating Georgia and being competitive against Bama

7-5 probably gets Sumlin fired. 6-6 no question

Texas A&M: Sumlin's drinking record

At this stage, I'm beginning to think Sumlin could pull an Aaron Hernandez and still have a job.

I suspect that this is the only reason why you started this thread.

You are just mad because he is big boned... and for some odd reason owns beaver teeth. I can't explain it either.

We can't beat y'all in anything the past few years.
Seriously, WTF?
And to answer your question, I have limited real estate experience.

You do. It'll be 7 after this year.

tAggyArk is the A&M forum on the rant and we are NOT content with mediocrity.
The thing about Sumlin is that, barring a championship season of 12 or more wins, which he is not capable of, he's likely going to be fired this year. The trends are already in place.
Every A&M coach in my lifetime has never been fired in a year which he had the worst record of his tenure.
Jackie Sherrill was forced to resign in a year in which the A&M administration didn't have the balls nor the backing to take on the t.u.-led Texas media and NCAA Infractions Committee, especially in light of the SMU Death Penalty.
R.C. Slocum was fired in a season that saw his Athletic Director being told to resign by the new A&M President Robert Gates, a season that fell well below expectations, and a season in which one of his players died on the practice field.
Dennis Franchione was fired in a season in which his "VIP Newsletter" was made public, not after a 5-6 season 2 years earlier that should have gotten him fired.
Mike Sherman was fired in a perfect storm year. He openly criticized the move to the SEC, his team blew 5 2+ score 2nd half leads in losses and he lost the final game to t.u.
Another factor as well: The last four A&M coaches all received guaranteed contracts at some point in their tenure (including Sumlin). Not one made it past year 4 of that contract.
R.C. Slocum: 7-year guaranteed deal after the 1998 season. Fired in 2002.
Dennis Franchione: 6-year guaranteed deal after the 2004 season. Fired in 2007.
Mike Sherman: 7-year guaranteed contract from the start in 2008. Fired in 2011.
Kevin Sumlin: 6-year guaranteed deal after the 2013 season. Currently in year 4 of that contract.
