Not excited, would rather see a couple or five, assistants fired, plus the OC.

Indifferent. Sumlin is my 4th aggie football coach. I don't expect there to be any change for the next guy. We make a splash once every ten years or so. Sue me if I'm not excited.

Not Excited

I think it's a bad year for coaching candidates.

I'm not excited - more worried that we'll **** the hire up. But it's the right move.

Thought Sumlin deserved one more year and there is a lot of big programs looking for coaches this year

Haven't had a solid hire since RC.

And try to hire someone with a HC who is on the hot seat?? That never works. Have to overpay for them and guarantee the salaries. Very well could end up losing money if he is then fired the next year anyway.

Face it. Sumlin was done with Texas A&M when he went public with the letter. or he miscalculated very badly.

Not excited. Sumlin needs to go, but we will inevitably botch the hire.

Not excited. I'm ready for Sumlin to go but I can already sense that we're going to vomit all over ourselves in the hiring process

Right move, wrong time for it to get announced/leaked. Would've preferred Sumlin thinking that he was playing for his job against LSU
Mort Rainey

To me, its pretty clear that they were hoping Sumlin would lose against Ole Miss and make this easy. The timing is slightly bizarre after two straight wins and a game left to play. It's like they didn't want to be late to the coaching search party by waiting till Saturday or something. It just looks dumb. Fire his ass last night or make this announcement on Sunday morning

Nervous. Sumlin has to go. If for nothing else because there is just too much bad blood at this point. 8-4 every year is a good coach at a lot of programs, but I am glad to see that we're not going to accept that at A&M. The flip side is that this year's coaching carousel is going to have an extra dose of BSC sprinkled in so we'll end up hiring another 8-4 coach. I'm not sold on Jimbo simply because he stood behind a rapist. I'm sure there are plenty of posters who are gladly accepting him with open arms now and were roasting him and FSU back then.

With my BAS flaring up I could see a doomsday scenario where Chip Kelly goes to UCLA, Jimbo flirts with us and ends up signing an extension at FSU, Mullen goes to Florida after Frost goes home to Nebraska and Sumlin lands at Mississippi State and kicks Chad Morris' ass for the next decade.

You are simply ignorant if you don't think Jimbo is a great candidate.

Big time excited.

Just a gut feeling that we swing for the bleachers on this hire. We have a good team right now. Next year will be good either way. But I want new leadership.

Excited! Way too much hand wringing. Woodward is going to serve us well this time around. Too many ******* on the Zoo these days...

To be fair.. Fran hire at time was huge. On paper it was a slam dunk.
Sometimes things don't work out but at the time.. Nobody was bigger

I'm ready but not looking forward to a losing year or two rebuilding.

I think if we change now, we still have some good talent on the books to work with.

Damn excited. Reminds me when the naysayers claimed we'd never get in the SEC. Now they'd like to convince folks we should be happy with 8 win seasons and that no way a big fish like Fisher would ever come here.

Well, here we are and thanks to Sumlin and wish him well but the sleeping giant is waking up and we're positioning ourselves to kick some ass.

I know the rules here. I have been given two options. So I'll go with excited. But I'd like to make an addendum and an asterisk.

*Im sad to lose Sumlin. I'm sad that he can't manage a clock or a quarterback.
I, along with 99% of this board, would have loved for him to have been our guy for 20 years.
But he isn't. And it stinks.

But here's my hope:
We get Frost or Petersen.

And Sumlin goes to TN with Chavis. And they kick butt in the east. And we crush them like ceramic tiles in the SEC championship, beach.

Glad to have this mess behind us for several years. Next year after Mond transfers and Starkel gets hurt, an 8-win season will look good. A new coach will not get rid of BAS and the zoo will live on.

Only excited if we can get rid of Mazzone also

Cautiously optimistic.

We know Sumlin will have a winning record and around a .500 conference record.

Excited that we may now be able to crack the top 2 in our division on a regular basis.

Not excited.

I'm pretty sure it's Jimbo and that concerns me.
