.....Sumlin, just to take pressure off of him and the Zoo......a simple, "We have made an offer", "We have a plan in place and are going forward", We are Very concerned about losing recruits", " we do t want to rush into any thing because we want to do what is best for the program", "I admit our defense was unacceptable and we will change that with our guy we have offered...................Because no word is assumed to be, " It's my choice, I don't care what you guys think, I don't have to answer to the zoo"............Squelch the rumors, speak the truth( even if we don't want to hear it. Because rumors make the whole program look like buffoons and kids and their families may perceive it as such.

no

I remember the days before we had microwaves and the Internet and didn't have TV on demand.

I feel like he has said most of those things at various points along the way, but I don't feel like he owes that to me. I don't have a clue what he told recruits, but I'm going to assume he told them exactly what they needed to know, which is that Texas A&M wants them to play at Texas A&M.

Ok, you can't be serious with this statement. Nice troll, I guess. Wait, nevermind, no it wasn't.

Sumlin cares 0% about what the zoo or anyone else on TA thinks. Hth.

Just MHO, but the coaches who need to make a statement are Harbaugh and Miles.

Then things will shake out and get settled pretty quickly.

You do realize that 99% of the "rumors" are started here don't you? The buffoons are in here and not in the athletic department.

Do you/we sign his paycheck? No...you/we don't. It's as simple as that. He owes us nothing.

Kids today...sheesh. Entitlement mentality is an understatement.

I'm sitting here refreshing every five minutes for new information so to say I'm dying to find out who our DC will be is an understatement. That being said, op is a moran.

Yep, Sumlin is gonna read your post and call a press conference to cater to your feelings. Better yet, he's gonna come out and admit we are scared of losing recruits just to confirm the suspicions bouncing around in your pretty little head. What a crybaby.

Sports junkie bored at work, what can I say? Not the only team or sport I'm following.

This just in Sumlin will have a presser to address OP questions. He is truly sorry for hurting the OP feelings.

The weekly OP presser! He'll answer all Zoo questions via teleconference!

It is Christmas and the Holidays...slow time...other things to do except wait on the word of a coach, a blogger, a tweet, or anything else about a coach, a recruit, or who is responsible for making the players' laundry ready for the Liberty Bowl... this board is anal...that is all...

Agreed.
#1. Sumlin has already said those things.
#2. Making a public response to the Zoo would be the stupidest thing he could do. Well, I guess other than publicly agreeing with the Zoo.
#3. Holiday Inn Express must be frigin' packed right now with all the insider experts of everything posting in the Zoo.

It IS his choice, he DOESN'T care what we think (nor should he) and he DOESN'T have to answer to the zoo.

I'm glad Clay Travis doesn't hang out here, because we DEFINITELY would have made his "Top 10 Dumbest Fanbases" list if he did.

He didn't say anything MJ and he was a 5 star recruit - Sumlin sure as hell won't say anything to appease a bunch of interwebz fans.

OP is a bleeding vag

That's only in Premium.

OK..... Posted to prove a point... Everyone seems to agree he doesn't need to say anything, let us know where he stands , who is being considered ...... So why are there umpteeni million threads and rumors about a DC.... Lost recruits etc. February is a long way off,go spend Christmas and New Years with your families. When that's over, bowl behind us etc. , then he'll have a guy in place and we're good.......... Or not and we will be no worse off than we were with Snyder....,win win

Nice save OP! Started with a desperate post looking for people who agreed with you and you 180ed into lecturing the rest of us about keeping up with the news. Well done!

I was hood-winked!
