What do y'all think? Was he joking? I find it hard to believe he was offered after just one good season in a BCS conference.

I bet Trooper was going to be his assistant if he didn't get the Cowboys gig first.

Trying to build equity with the A&M administration and boosters.

He'll need it when his current QB leaves.

Not sure why he would lie about it. I think it is probably true.

He's probably telling the truth. He probably sees the next two years as his best chance at a BCS championship and then might entertain a move later on. He's a young guy that will probably have several more coaching jobs before it's all said and done.

I have a hard time believing that in this day and age, that an NFL team could offer a major college coach like Sumlin a HC job and nobody in the media catch wind of it.

He also admitted they came in third place in the West which some Aggie fans can't seem to admit or understand.

It wouldn't surprise me if the Eagles made a run at Sumlin, even offering him the job, after everyone assumed Chip Kelly was staying at Oregon.

We'll never know for sure, but the Bills hired a worse college coach... so why would it be a shock if Sumlin were offered a job?

I think some folks are afraid he's going to stay at TAMU for a while. Chip got a good NFL gig, despite the psychotic Philly fanbase. Sumlin knows he needs to wait for the right gig to come along, not just some shitty job coaching the Raiders. Besides, there aren't many jobs better than the one he has now.

1. Sumlin turned down the Eagles last year. Fact.

2. LSU and A&M tied in 2nd in the west. There is no actual tiebreaker for 2nd place because it means nothing. A&M however was selected by the better bowl and actual won their bowl game.

I believe it, hell the Raiders called me up a couple weeks back and wanted to know if I was intrested in the head coaching spot. I told them I had a field of watermelons that needed tending to, and they understood.
