“Not one man on his (Texas A&M) staff came from any place other than a team that he lost to,” Beaty said of Sumlin. “And particularly a team that overachieved in an area. His guys on his staff are all guys that beat him somewhere.”
Boom.
I never read that article before now, but that is exactly what it looks like Sumlin is doing. Beaty gives the proof.
You can call it humility if you like. In this case, I think it is arrogance and a very narrow view of the college football landscape.
Chavis is good, but without the kind of defensive talent that he had at LSU from 2010-2012, he was good-not-great.
The problem is, A&M just gave him the most money that any DC has ever been paid. They are saying that he is the best in the country. I think that Sumlin is developing tunnel vision.
But, hey. My team's coach is Les Miles and the problems there are legion.![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/IconLOL.gif)
