re: We know he's fired. When will he?

Florida lost to lsu. Might have just been an off night, but they have been unimpressive all year and have had an easy schedule. Even if we finish 7-5, which I would say Sumlin gone if so, this team will be good next year.

That wouldn't earn a short extension?

sure, but no more buyout money.

we need to be 9-3 or 10-2 every season. 8-4 should be an outlier, not the norm.

3 gimee noncon games. scar, state, arky. why the eff should 8 wins be a big deal. 6 teams always on our schedule that we have way more talent than.

only need to go 2-4 against teams with similar or greater talent to go 8-4. 8-5 because of a shitty bowl game is even worse.

There's a reason that Florida is a favorite this weekend. The last time A&M won in the state of Florida, American Soldiers were liberating France.

I think your hope that this weekend is another nail in the coffin for Sumlin is not going to go the way you think. Ags match up reasonably well. I expect our D to more than hold its own this weekend. Florida just too one dimensional on offense. We should be able to control the clock and our offense will start to wear them down. I would like to see Ford get 12-15+ carries. Florida is just average and mentally not very good. I think Ags win by 10-12 points.

Just an FYI... There is a 40% chance of rain and a NE wind at 10mph expected.

meh, one year.

10-2 2012
8-4 2013
7-5 2014
8-4 2015
8-4 2016

this doesn't deserve a contract extension. IF we finish the regular season with 9 or 10 wins i can see extending the contract with no extra buyout for one more year. that would tie him up through 2020. enough for recruiting. i wanna see him win something before he gets more buyout money in a contract. at least ny6 victory if he can't win the sec west or the sec. looks like he has a good qb for two more years at least. needs to do something with it.

I think I've seen this before.

Oh that's right, it was said before the Mississippi State game and before the Ole Miss game in 2016. We know how those turned out.

I agree, 10-2 should earn him the right to 2 years on a contract

one... and that's being generous. you don't lose 59-0, get blown out by both mississippi teams, snatch defeat from the jaws of victory against Ole Miss last year and UCLA this year and get rewarded. You get to not get fired immediately.

If he wins out including the bowl a few rumors will be floated out by his agent that he's a hot name for a couple of NFL jobs or maybe someplace like UCLA and boom a raise and extension hits his desk, nature of the beast now a days .

I think I'm being misunderstood

2 years under contract is all I would allow him, I wouldn't give him 2 years on top of what he has left

If he can look at recruits and say he's under contract for another 2 seasons, that should be enough

lol... ok. i was about to say.

In today's recruiting world, you have to leave some sort of buyout or the negative recruiting will win. Without a buyout, you're just setting up your coaches to fail in the recruiting trail. Any new buyout has to be reasonable and "deceptive" (smoke and mirrors). I think all parties can agree that it can't be all guaranteed. We also have to make sure he has incentives to keep him motivated.
