Okay. Question. Aggies seem to think any opportunity for Sumlin to the NFL he would jump but what's the consensus on whether or not he's even on GMs radar?
He'll definitely get interview offers because there is a rule that minority interviews must occur and he is a plausible person to fill that requirement. Further than that, none of us really knows if he is on an NFL GMs radar and anyone who says otherwise is just speculating and/or trolling.

Not trolling, but what exactly would an NFL team see in Sumlin at this point?

Interviewing him would fulfill the minority interview requirement. Beyond that ??? I wouldn't hire him.

Not a single thing.

Don't know, but he is supposedly very highly thought of in NFL circles. His style of delegation is popular at that level. He pays a lot for coordinators then let's them have autonomy.

Good points with honest opinions, I gotcha.
It just seems like most NFL organizations fill the head coaching job with someone who's been around the league a good bit minus a few current coaches. Im not entirely sure though with where every coach coached before their current team.

It seems to me that the NFL is retread central where a few guys "in the circle" just keep going around and only the occasional spectacular college coach gets admitted. Sumlin doesn't fit that bill, other than being a spectacular flame-out.

Very few NFL coaches who succeed were successful college coaches.
Bill Walsh and Pete Carroll are the only ones that come to mind.

Do you consider Sumlin a successful or unsuccessful college coach? Real question. Seems middle of the road to me. If you consider his successes with his own recruited players he is definitely middle of the road to me.
No doubt he has been successful personally.

Don't know that he is on any radar, but he's a CEO type coach, not an X's and O's guy and the NFL likes that type of coach.

Grigson may be the worst GM in football. It would not shock me if he did something stupid like hire Sumlin.

Agreed. Those idiots are the same motherfrickers trying to challenge A&M's 12-man mark by listening to Randy Duke.

Yeah that's what I thinking to both responses but wasn't completely sure. I don't see how the NFL wouldn't see Sumlin as a gamble and I would think if the Colts fired their coach they wouldn't be taking a chance on someone new.

Also true.

He's the Carly Fiorina of CEO coaches.
