Sumlins horrible (for tamu) buyout structure is coming to an end a couple seasons iirc. This is a nice shot across the bows to either let him know he needs to get their soon to stay on OR if he doesn't show at least 10-wins this upcoming season it could be what is needed to get boosters to take it into their own hands to raise the buyout amount.

Sumlin totally stayed to long career-wise, and should have went to the NFL with Johnny boy. Financially set no doubt, but peaked out at the higher levels.

He'll either be fired or extended after the 2017 season.

With only two seasons remaining in a contract, if you don't extend the contract, you're sabotaging recruiting.

After this season, not only is his buyout reduced to $10 Million (which can be negotiated down easily), but there's no buyouts for any of the assistant coaches, as their contracts ALL expire after the 2017 season.

For information though: The Board of Regents has to approve any contract above $1 million per year and Sumlin's protector and the reason for his ridiculous contract, Jim Wilson, is no longer a member of the board of regents.
