I think he is a great coach. I thought he was awesome when he was at Houston. I would be a little worried with the lack of a really strong running game in the SEC, but he makes up for alot of that with creativity. Just wanted to get the general pulse on the A&M fanbase thus far.

I know JFF has been able to run for a good chunk of yards but without a sound running game, good def. coordinators will scheme him much better in the upcoming years. Sumlin seems like the kind of guy who will be able to put him in good positions though.

Is this serious? Do you really need more than one guess to ask how they feel about him right now?

I think were pretty happy.....

except he has yet to win a MNC so were probably going to let him go after the year is over due to him not getting the team ready to play for a MNC.....

You may want to check our rushing stats...

Even without JFF our RBs are averaging good YPC etc.

I don't see it so much as this or that not working in the SEC. If you have the personnel, good athletes, and the system is executed you'll do well. No matter whether it's a pro style offense, spread, etc.

Happier than a body builder directing traffic.

A&M leads the SEC in rushing by nearly 50 YPG, leads in yards per attempt and Melena is third in the oncference among backs in YPC at 6.3.

Our running game is fine.

I think the fact that we only average 42.4 yards/game more on the ground than the next best SEC rushing team is pretty pathetic, personally. I've already purchased www.firekevinsumlinbecausehehasaweakrunninggame.com. The site will be going live Sunday if we don't rush for at least 400 on SHSU.

Happy enough to double his salary along with the coaching staff after the season is over.

If you ask Mark Mays he's 1 lost from being lynched. Nothing but a bunch of racist here in small town Texas.


If you ask the Aggie, he'll likely be our next coach in the Aggie Hall of Fame.

Won the lottery happy?

Sumlin is a winner and has swagger. I love his attitude compared to the past 2 coaches we had (I'll even say I like him over Slocum, Sumlin is just a completely different personality). The team appears to have bought into him. Kliff Kingsbury.. wow. For a guy that is in his first year as OC in a BCS conference, I like what he's doing. Mark Snyder, not too shabby. He's got our defense doing better.

Two of the top 10 rushers in the SEC

Next year, we have Brandon Williams (thought to be the best RB) and Tra Carson eligible, along with Ben Malena, Trey Williams, and of course JFF. The O line will still be pretty good as well.
