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.

This. Besides, he can sit back and let Chip Kelly serve as the "canary in the coal mine" as far as whether a not a college coach with one of those crazy college offenses can thrive in the NFL.

Kelly is the stalking horse. If he has success in Philly this year and A&M has another strong year (as well as JFF), the dumptruck full of NFL cash will make its way to College Station.

We'll see what Summy says/does if THAT happens.

He's 48 years old.

And Auburn also offered him a job.
