No news on the new OC front -- which is good news. That means all things are headed towards a signed contract - which is not scheduled to be signed until *after* the season is over.
As I posted last time -- two major hurdles were cleared, just a few more things being ironed out. Sumlin has his new OC, looks like its a formality at this point in time.
To those who don't think Sumlin knows he needs to make a move at OC - and a bold one at that - think about this: Sumlin is fully aware that coaches such as Bear Bryant, Gene Stallings, Darrel Royal, and even A&M's beloved R.C. Slocum, were pretty much ran out of town when they failed to make bold decisions and the respective programs waned. All of these coaches either had National Championships/undefeated seasons and/or a boat load of conference championships. In football, you are only as good and as secure as your last season. That's the life of coaching.
Texas loved to count their 10 victory seasons as if beating the Western Carolinas and Kansas' of the world meant something to someone. Ah, but Mack Brown only won 2 conference championships in his 35 seasons as a head coach. After a 700 million dollar investment -- no BMA in and around this state is counting anything other than SEC Championships and playoff berths as the criteria for the A&M coach doing their job.
Hang tight, change is coming, and its HUGE.
