The kids ARE the business decisions.
quote:
Why in the hell do people think kids are so entitled to know all of the business. Blows my mind.
quote:I think a lot of people forgot about the 'family" element. Wasn't his mom pushing for tu during the entire process? Parents do have a major impact on a young man's decision, IMO. Oh well.
I think Sumlin knew Malik was going tu with or without a DC. If you look at his entire recruitment and read the article from espn about it afterwards, it is clear the family pressure was going to get him to tu one way or another.
quote:It isn't conjecture:
What exactly has Sumlin done to give people trust in him? Anything about "not letting a kid dictate him" etc is pure conjecture unless you know one hundred pct without a doubt what has gone on and is going on behind the scenes. Hell it could just as easily be that he WANTED to tell Malik but he doesn't have a DC so he couldn't. Fact is nobody knows...not even that looch guy.
I like sumlin. Obviously want him to succeed. But I can't fathom what people have seen that give them such blind trust.
quote:
Though he agreed with the case his parents and brother Mike made for Texas, Malik felt he had to give A&M one last shot. So once the tense family discussions wrapped up, he called Kevin Sumlin.
The linebacker wants to keep the contents of that conversation to himself, out of respect for a coach he's admired throughout this two-year process. Simply put, Malik says, the conversation did not go well. He needed to know who his coordinator and position coach would be. That question couldn't be answered.
"Malik is very emotionally invested in things," Mike Jefferson said. "When he feels betrayed in any type of way, you're setting yourself up for failure. I think A&M not contacting him about the defensive coordinator had a major influence."

quote:Yep, Mom and him were looking for any excuse not to commit to A&M - no DC fit the bill
Wasn't his mom pushing for tu during the entire process?
quote:Doesn't matter which side of the boat one jumps from, still get wet.
Hawg, I see that but how do people get from that to "sumlin wouldn't let the kid dictate anything--good for him--go coach!"
The only thing we've seen is that Malik wanted us...his parents wanted texas...he wanted to know who the DC would be or have ANY bit of info provided to him...and that didn't happen. The WHY it didn't hapen---nobody knows. Unless I'm missing something?
