I'm going to say it again, and again, and again: you don't recover from getting you arse kicked 59-0. Fran didn't recover from 77-0 and neither will Sumlin. Keeping him is a slow death.

I'm sorry, but when you lose your team frickING TWICE the way Sumlin did, so much that you get your arse kicked 59-0 then the next year both of your QBs transfer, then you don't need to be the HC at TAMU.

Our recruiting class was a disappointment this year, and 2017 will be loaded with "sleepers", or so we will be told. This team "may" finish 7-5 this year, but 2017 will be a brutal year for us.

Flame away....

As has already been stated, Martel leaving is not a surprise, and the other kid was just looking for an excuse to decommit too.

What is a problem is that we have no damage control from our football program. Perception does matter and right now from the outside A&M looks like a dumpster fire. We can pretend all we want that it's not a bad thing that Kyler left cause he's a little sissy and Kyle Allen wasn't man enough to compete but all recruits see is two 5 stars leaving within weeks of each other and wonder "what the hell is going on over there. I don't know if I want to play for a program that has stuff like that happening".

Sumlin needs to get off his arse and start doing damage control, it's just like the NFL rumors that resurfaced this year that he did nothing to combat. Normally a 5 star decommiting is just a small news story, decommits happen all the time, but we turn it into front page ESPN by handling the situation like crap. I really don't think this staff is cut out to run a program this big, we aren't getting a good return on what we paid for.

We really didn't have that option at that point. The decision to keep Sumlin through the 2016 season at least via contract was made in 2013.
