re: Early reports have Sumlin getting $5M per year.

Your problem wasn't talent hoss.

Absolutely it was.

Its coaching on defense.

No it wasn't.

Sumlin has never had a good defense.

Has any Conference USA team ever had a good defense?

quote:

Without one, it will be very hard to take the next step in this conference.

Which is why I asked about recruiting.

quote:

---

I'm asking if you have made changes on the defensive side of the ball in terms of coaching.

---

Why we would address that before we had the talent? No part of what you're saying makes any sense.

Also, I do pay attention to recruiting and Tony Brown and Ed Paris really could help y'all next year.

Or the best defensive end recruit in the nation? We currently have two 5 stars and twelve 4 stars... 9/14 are defensive recruits this year... do you know how many current defensive starters are 4 or 5 stars? A&M won't have a defensive player DRAFTED the next two years. You wouldn't say talent isn't the problem, if you had absolutely any idea what you're talking about.

You really think a roster full of mostly Big 12 commits recruited by Mike Sherman is talented enough for the grind of the SEC? Swamp kittens are adorable.
