Sumlin on DC search: "Search is going great....it's not about the time, it's about the person. Want to get the right guy regardless of time"
Seems to be more "smoke" in regard to Foster, since Foster is likely to wait until he can guarantee his $800,000 that is due Dec 31, 2014.

That quote screams he's either been turned down several times or he's stuck waiting on someone who's probably stringing him along.

Yeah because lots of assistant coaches are getting hired left and right at the moment.

No elite assistant coach is going to tie himself to a job before the head coach carousel winds down some.

I think we've been turned down once and are getting turned down again at this very moment.

The only openings for assistants I'm aware of are with HC's that recently got hired. Auburn is hiring a DC and us. Any other big schools hiring assistants?

Yes. I'm sure Sumlin is shaking in his boots on keeping on the Texags nobody posters' timelines.

Who thinks that any decision done well is a decision done quickly? Sounds just dumb to me.

My sentiments exactly regarding the delay in hiring a new dc on my productivity.

I posted the same thing. How many college jobs are going to come open? Hell I can name at least five nfl jobs that will probably be open and that's without even thinking hard.

A&M didn't hire Kliff and Snyder until the end of the second week of January in 2012. The Narduzzi, Foster etc rumor mill was at its peak in early January. This is extremely early and I think A&M (and Auburn) fans are ridiculously premature (South Carolina hasn't even bothered to actually fire anybody yet). The type of coaches we want to hire are borderline ready for head coach jobs, and they aren't going to jump at lateral moves title wise while head coaching jobs may still open up.

Then Summy better solo ace these defensive recruits who have no idea who they're going to play for. No Mack or Jefferson plus a Gibbs style hire and its game, set, match.

The coaching hire is more important than a couple recruits regardless.

It's not more important than an entire group of elite recruits who will be absolute game changers at every level of the defense.

South Carolina, for one? Also have heard that FSU might be on the market depending on success in the playoffs.

SC has yet to offiially fire their DC. All this Muschamp to SC talk is premature as ****.

Madden, i think people are frustrated because this opportunity is a big one for a DC. And their perception is that the university is not being aggressive enough in bringing that person on board. A&M is SEC now, and SEC is about defense for the most part. Plus, A&M is wealthy in comparison to most schools. So why the wait? I can understand the frustration of Aggies. My two cents.

Perhaps they should re-evaluate how they develop their perception then. Sumlin said today it isn't about making a quick hire, but making the right hire. Now that's either coach-speak, or it isn't, but I'd be hard pressed to see how their perception of the situation, without any further internal knowledge, jumps to the conclusion that we are just sitting on our hands.

So, that means that Sumlin cannot recruit, because these recruits are only loyal to the d co.
Glad I know that now.

Bingo.

"Going great" = we can't convince the guys we want to come here yet.

Or, it could be that someone has already agreed but doesn't want his name out until after the season. Or, we have our guy but are working through the details. Or, we believe taking our time and making the correct hire is paramount.
