It that was true, Sumlin wouldn't have been fired.

You have that reversed. In the Big 12 era the level of production Sumlin had would have gotten him a raise. He did such a better job in the W/L column than the two guys before him.

The difference is when we went to the SEC we raised our expectations for our program, and those raised expectations means that what Sumlin was doing wasn't good enough.

You are correct to be skeptical that us raising our expectations will raise the quality of our program until it actually produces more results, but at the same time its dishonest to say that a Big 12 A&M in a rundown stadium, swimming in debt, and with fringe top 20 recruiting classes is the same as a SEC A&M with a new 100k+ stadium, swimming in money, with consistent recruiting classes around or in the top 10.
