The only differences I can think of are...
-Sumlin had a better record at this stage of his A&M tenure. (Had the same record in his last five seasons as Jimbo has in his first five to this point)
-Jimbo makes almost double the money
-Jimbo won a NC...9 years ago somewhere else.

I'm sure there are other differences but I just can't put my finger on it. What am I missing?

Record vs. Arkansas:
Sumlin: 6-0
Jimbo: 4-1

I guess not much?

So another example of Sumlin being better than Jimbo.

Sumlin was 0-7 against LSU. That was fricking fun!

Pretty sure I’ve already had this same exact post with you, but for posterity’s sake, any racist coach commentary coming from texas is rich.

Red Mccombs Charlie Strong quote

We pay Jimbo more because he was a national championship winning coach we stole from an established P5 program, FSU. We paid Sumlin less because we stole him from Houston. That simple, he had less of a resume.

Not to mention it’s 10 years later and everything just seems to be more expensive these days. Go look at Nick Saban’s salary at Bama when he was first hired to now.

I don’t expect you to be able to use cognitive reasoning, but there you go. I laugh when y’all try to make it about race though. Par for the course with the folks in Austin though.

I’m no Jimbo fan, but how many programs were coming after Sumlin? LSU wanted Jimbo badly, and A$M put up the cash to keep him. They overpaid and Sexton played their AD with a crazy buyout.

jimbo was smart enough to recognize that he had an athletic department that was the equivalent of a little old lady letting microsoft tech support into her computer via rdp. he got all the gift cards he wanted. sumlin didnt realize just how much he could get.

I don't care enough to get an actual answer, but that article doesn't scream racism (unless you count the writer trying hard to spin it that way).

Granted, don't know the whole story and maybe Mccombs made racial issues obvious elsewhere... but looks to me like he just didn't think Strong was ready (which sorta proved to be true). Either way, the article makes a claim, but provides zero to support it.

Not every criticism is rooted in race.

To be fair, it's never been proven that he knew his wife was banging players.

Was Red Mccomb right or wrong?

Except Red McCombs was not talking about race at all and was exactly right: Charlie Strong was not the standard, and retired with the single worst winning percentage in the history of Texas football coaches

Meanwhile, y'all are paying almost twice as much for the exact same record with even more losses to Sun Belt teams.

It's not that hard to put together. Sorry you're so triggered by it

Or that he would hide in the closet and watch. I mean, there are a lot of allegations out there that he did, but it isn't established or anything.

I prefer to give him the benefit of the doubt on that one.
