had a conversation with a Texas High School head coach last night who every year has D1 guys being signed. I asked him about A&M and how they recruit. His response was not what I wanted to hear but it was his opinion.
He said in his opinion Sumlin and his coaches are not respectful of the high school coaches. All the other coaches will call and make an appointment to come visit on campus, but A&M just shows up and sort of expects the coach to drop everything. He also said Sumlin doesn't come to games like the other coaches. I asked him who in his opinion was the best -and he didn't hesitate - Coach O. Said he calls ahead and set up a visit time, calls all the time and asks how he can help the high school coaches and their staff. He builds real relationships with the coaches. Sumlin just seems to act like he's above it all. One coaches opinion. I'm sure there might be others who have different opinions.

Not coaching the offense and not coaching the defense doesn't really leave Sumlin much time to focus on recruiting the way we'd like, so I can see why he cuts corners here and there

Lolwut? I guess he hasn't been graced with the presence of the great swagcopter.

Charlie was also known to have a better relationship with coaches and look where it got him.
Eventually just offering a stable situation is beneficial, which is why we are suddenly doing better in recruiting.
High school coaches aren't the power brokers they were 20 years ago. I can see why Sumlin wants to go around them and get to the real handlers.

Sounds like many of those empty complaints I hear about in the south when they believe they have lost some authority to somebody they didn't want to answer to...just saying...
