re: Sumlin's job security?

Firing Sumlin would be a huge mistake. Yeah the other night wasn’t good but MSU is pretty strong this season. A&M left some plays on the field early and it got away from them. You guys are trotting a true frosh QB out there and a lot of other young players. This team looks more physical on D and is running the ball better. Things you all wanted to see happen. 7-9 wins with that young roster is not the end of the world, settle down.

This is spoken by someone who wants Sumlin to remain.

It's not just this season...it's the cumulative failures over the last 3+ seasons including what is staring A&M in the face.

The facts: Since Sumlin signed the extension with the ridiculous buyout, the following has happened:

-Record in 1st 6 games: 20-4
-Record after 1st 6 games: 9-14 (will end 10-17)
-Conference home record: 4-9 (will end 4-10)
-Home record vs. Division: 1-8 (will end 1-9)
-Record vs. the State of Mississippi: 1-6 (will end 1-7)
-Record after a bye week: 1-2 (21-16 win over ULM was only win). Average margin of defeat = 19.3 ppg
-Lost 59-0 in 2014.
-Blew a 21-6 4th quarter lead to a 5-win team playing a true freshman at QB for his first game ever
-Lost a game that he led 44-10 with 18 minutes left in the game
-Had starting and backup quarterbacks transfer 6 days apart with a week to go before a bowl game
-Completely failed to develop players at any position (name one current player on the roster that has gotten noticeably better under this coaching staff)
-Fired 5 coordinators (OC, DC, 2xOL, Strength and Conditioning)

Kevin Sumlin's tenure does not justify extending him or retaining him.
