Basically he says that attendance, recruiting, and TV ratings are more important than wins and losses.

It syncs up perfectly with A&M fans who say that Sumlin is worth $5 million because its more than wins/losses, its about how he has the program's national brand rising via attendance and recruiting.

This quote is money:

quote:

I'd rather win 8 games every year and yet be tops in the nation in attendance, recruiting, and national recognition, than win 11 games and have limited appeal. It's more about wins/losses, its about the program's footprint as a whole which is more than just wins and losses.

Seems like a shot at TCU and Baylor.

The Aggies on tRant have a bit different company line: "we don't have to play them or even care about them because of recruiting, stadiums, etc."

I've seen the same arguments on this board from A&M fans when asked to justify Sumlin's salary.

Oh no. I hope this random reddit quote doesn't make someone think negatively about A&M! What would we ever do

I don't have links, you and I both know you have seen it.

It may not be what the reddit poster said word for word, but along the lines of "we had to pay him $5 million because he has our program trending up with lots of momentum and new stadium additions and facilities upgrades and attendance and recruiting"

i get the kid must be in business school with no practical experience to draw on so learning is some type of transformational revelation to him.

nothing wrong with that.

a&m will not stay where they are and will fall as a brand if they only keep winning 8 games a year...

that being said, I hope a&m continues their climb.

Yep, this is the opinion of the entire A&M fan base.

Also, Mississippi State is a bastion of terrorist propaganda and a breeding ground for Islamic extremism.
