1-The first time I saw a pic of Sumlin, I thought he looked familiar, I heard him speak and he reminded me a little of Mike Tomlin.
2-Both are highly motivational.
3-Favorite quotes - Sumlin: (1) 'I came hear to win and I want winners who aren't afraid. So If you're scared, get a dog!" (2) 'All I told them was..."Ignore the circus, and ride the ride.’ They get that ... If you want to ride the roller coaster, let’s just get on the roller coaster, don’t worry about all the other stuff that’s outside of it."
Tomlin: (1) 'I think the people that know and compete in this league understand that there is a fine line between drinking wine and squashing grapes. Obviously, last weekend we were grape-squashers." (2) "I'll wear that like a badge of honor. That comes with the job. I don't live in my fear. I just play to win. I don't worry about being judged."
4-Both have had Head Coaching success quickly.
5-Both come from good coaching backgrounds i.e. Head Coaches. Sumlin from Slocum and Bob Stoops. Tomlin from Tony Dungy and Jon Gruden.
6-Both have won Championships???...not yet, but we shall see, although I liked Sherman as a Man, I believe we are on the right track with Sumlin as the HC going into the SEC.
